I ran into the CP at falcon about 2 yrs ago so this info might have changed. No CASS, no guarantee- paid what you fly, no per deim- meals provided, Either you live in base or the company will fly you out to the assignment but you might be there for more than a month, I was flying the 737 and he said no problem to come on as a MD-80 captain. It seemed to me that they are always looking and if you have some jet time there is a good chance of getting on as a captain. Like I said this was two yrs ago.

I have never heard of EAC, and can't find anything about them online. What kind of operator are the, charter, freight,...? They must be pretty small. I did Google searches for EAC Airlines, Charter, Cargo. Nothing came up.

I found this info on the internet, about the honesty and reputation of Falcon Air owner, more links coming up.

Reported owner of companies in Florida investigated by the FBI for alleged money laundering of funds of Hugo Chavez Frias and Fidel Castro administrations. Nov 1998 - breach of fiduciary duty declared by Supreme Court of the State of New York in alleged fraudulent appropriation of Aeropostal. Oct 2001 - on trial in Caracas. Aug 2011 - no further developments reported.

Also his son, little Jr, was cought up with cocaine and the mugshot is available at the Doral PD - FL (Jr works as a manager at Falcon, as second in command)

Indirectly it it is a pay to play operation. They lay out the cash for training and hotel accommodations. Then they withhold money from one's paycheck repay Falcon for all expenses incurred.

Those were the terms and conditions when Falcon made a tender offer for employment last year.

That is terrible, I'm not a big fan of this. Training contracts are one thing, but PFT is another. Do you have an idea of the total amount they charge you including hotel expenses?

I recently turned down a job offer because they wanted me to pay for my training and they said they would deduct it from my paychecks.

No... I don't recall. But anything more than a hundreth of a cent would have been too much to endure.
