Wanted to let everyone know...They are advertising for Premier Ca/Fo's , but they do not pay their pilots. I'm sad to say I know this from experience. Nor do they pay for hotels, fuel, etc.

Saw an ad for them a couple of weeks ago on the orange page. Checked out their web site as they are close to me, read about their chief pilot and immediately logged off... I think this guy thinks he's still SEAL Team 6... Is this guy for real?

I've noticed a couple of their adds. A while back they were looking for a chief pilot, the description was strange and they were offering around 50K. One of their more recent adds was looking for pilots willing to pay for their type ratings.

Sorry guys...there is no chief pilot. The one they had was awesome, but not a SEAL. And yes, you do get to pay for your type, your training, your gas, your hotel, etc etc. They have no money. Period.

This might be better off in the FAR 135 forum.

Do they go through a Nevada FSDO? I'm guessing that premier is the only bird in their fleet, is it on a by-the-hour lease?

If they are a basic 135 operator, the DO could can also hold the chief pilot position. Are they operating under single pilot ops specs?

Our pilots attention to detail, immaculate execution, unparalleled passion, commitment to setting new standards, and knowledge of the luxury world, as seen from the sky and taught in Status's ground training program, are unlike any other. If the pilots are able to pass our rigorous and truly one of a kind luxury jet charter safety and training program we send them on a snowboarding trip with the Status Luxury Jets Team. We couldn't think of a better way to truly signify their successful conquering of a new caliber of professional Status. If they can reach the level of skill and intense discipline required for official induction onto the Status team, they can literally conquer any mountain. Our reward for their commitment to excellence is a team-oriented conquest of the beautiful Mountains of Tahoe, ultimately cultivating the traditions of our home base location!

Status Luxury is the dumbest name I can think of for a 135 charter operator.

What a bunch of bullsh$% considering they probably(just a guess) use flightsafety or simuflight for training...
