Executive Fliteways looking for Pilots!
 

Executive Fliteways is a growing Aircraft Management and Charter operator located at Long Island's McArthur Airport. EFI began operations in 1981. We have a fleet of 14 aircraft including 3 GIV's, 2 Falcon 50's, 1 Falcon 900, 4 Hawker 800's, 1 LR60, 1 LR35, 1 BE-200, and 1 SK-76.

We are actively recruiting and hiring SIC's into the LR-35, Hawker 800 and LR-60. We have a "promote from within" policy whereby all promotions to PIC and larger aircraft are filled by pilots employed by EFI. We do not hire directly into the Falcon 50 and larger aircraft. Estimated upgrade to PIC is 3 to 12 months depending on the individuals ability and company needs. Pilots go through training and get type rated in their assigned aircraft at Simuflite in Dallas, Texas.

Due to our anticipated expansion, we may be able to offer experienced applicants PIC positions in the LR35 and Hawker 800.

To be considered, pilots must have a minimum of 2500TT and 1500ME. PIC applicants must have 4000TT, 3000ME, and 300 hours in type. All crewmembers must reside within a 1 hour drive of Long Island McArthur Airport (ISP). This is not a job that you can commute to.

We offer a starting salary of $45,000, full health benefits, 401K, and profit sharing. Direct entry PIC compensation depends on experiance. Over the past 12 years the profit sharing program has averaged 10% of employees annual salary!

This is the ideal position for a regional pilot looking to make the transition to business aviation.

Cape Air flow through?
 

What happen to the acclaimed flow through agreement? Thats why nobody wants to fly for Cape Air, a 2 year contract to get a promised flow through and yet your advertising for SIC!! Thats SIC....

There is no promise for "flow through" on our part. We do have preferential interviewing as stated below. We actually offered employment to two pilots from Cape. The first did not pass the TSA background check and the second decided that he did not want to move. The first pilot that was mentioned is now eligible to work for us as he cleared up his history with the TSA. He is next to be hired. We are now interviewing for future vacancies.

I am certain that pilots do not go to Cape Air just to get a job at Executive Fliteways. From what I hear Cape Air has a pretty good program and the pilots that I met from there seem to enjoy their job.

EFI does not have any ties to Cape Air other than what we advertise.

You should not spew B/S unless you have the facts.

This is what is advertised on our web-site:

...............................

what BS am I suppose to be throwing at you without facts.
Only 2 pilots???? Thats the same thing someone said over there at your facilities 4 years ago. Good hunting..........

[quote=honk;151738]what BS am I suppose to be throwing at you without facts.

The "promise" of a flow through Honk.

I encourage any pilot at Cape Air that meets our pilot hiring minimums and has completed 2 years there to apply to our company. Every pilot that has gone through this program, meets our minimums, and expressed an interest to move to Long Island has gotten an opportunity to interview with us.

We have referred many pilots that have applied here that do not meet our minimums to Cape Air in the past.

Like I said in my previous post, I really do not think that pilots go to Cape Air just to get hired with Executive Fliteways.

If I am wrong, please have those pilots that you feel have not had an opportunity to apply at [email protected]. Make sure that they make note of the Pass Through Program.

Company Questions
 

[quote=fly-efi;151807]
What seems to be your competitive minimums from the applicants that you have seen recently? Is the 2500 / 1500 a fair shot or just a bare minimum? Also, you say that you cannot commute to this job, so is it on call 24 / 7, or do you have a 4 on 3 off / seven and seven type of schedule? Sorry for so many questions, just don't know much about the company.

Thanks

[quote=VTcharter;151926]2500TT/1500ME is our SIC minimums. These minimums are imposed by independant auditing companies that work on behalf of our clients. As far as competitive minimums are concerned all I can say is that it is really based on prior experiance and attitude.

We are an aircraft management company that manages aircraft for corporations and individuals. We do on demand charter when the aircraft are not being used by their owners. Our average pilot works 15 days per month. Whenever you are not on a day off or flying you are considered on call.

Pilots have a minimum of 8 days off every month. It is not a job that someone can successfully commute to. Not many pilot jobs in the corporate arena allow for commuters. Not even the fortune 500 flight departments.

Feel free to PM me if you have any other specific questions.

The Love of Flying
 

[QUOTE=fly-efi;151962]I love flying and miss it dearly everyday. I have the flight experience you mentioned but man that schedule would be ruff. I had a job like that and remember a time when I had to leave a cart full of groceries while waiting in line because my pager went off. I could never get more than 30 minutes away from the airport, couldn't go to a movie, couldn't take a long walk. Everything I did had to be accomplished within 30 minutes of arrival at my airport. It is like being on reserve 24/7

I have a similar opportunity at a a former employer however they only pay LJ35 captains 45K. FO's make much less.

[quote=SkyHigh;155095]The on call thing is never fun. We staff each aircraft with three pilots so the QOL is a little better than you describe. Immediate trips are few and far between. The schedule is pretty predictible as pilots can see which aircraft is flying when on the web-based system that we have in place. 45K is what we start F/O's at in our entry level aircraft (LR35, Hawker, LR60).
