Saw an advert on the "Orange" site looking for more pay to players... what a shock.

Looks like their DO is jumping ship. Saw an advert on the Orange website.
Any takers?:rolleyes: |
Falcon - straight scoop
Lot's of sniping comments, from a few who decline to use a name that can be identified. If you have a reason to make a personal attack, at least have the courage of your convictions and bring it to me with your name.
For the record, you cannot be a DO with (or in most cases any) violations. Company's may hire a DO, but the FAA must approve. On the matter of Falcon. A demanding company, but probably one that will stay in business. The owners are on property, at least one all the time and are approachable. You may not agree with the answers, but you can ask the questions from those who make the policies. Bottom line, it is a job that works well for some, but not everyone. The airplanes are safe, the company does not ask or expect you to put your license or safety on the line. In fact, they demand that you do not compromise safety. |
Check the facts with current employees...Falcon is not perfect, but the checks are on time, the airplanes are safe, and the ownership approachable if you have a problem.

What is the background of pilots being hired by Falcon Air? Do they mostly hire pilots with DC9/MD80 experience, or do they hire commuter type guys? Does anyone know if they have jumpseat agreements, or are on CASS? |

Perhaps current and recently departed Falconers can provide accurate information from the onset of training, actual training, line operation, and company support. |

Perhaps current and recently departed Falconers can provide accurate information from the onset of training, actual training, line operation, and company support.[/QUOTE] Well if any of you guys out there are actually flying the line for Falcon Air, or just recently departed, I would like to hear what it is like flying there. I am also interested in benefits, like insurance, 401K, and jump seats. |
So it appears no one on this forum actually flies for Falcon Air???? I am still trying to gather info on this carrier from someone within. My main questions are; do they require prior DC9 experience to start as captain, do they have jumpseat privileges? Also, what is the hiring/interviewing process like?
