Two aircraft. 4 or 5 full time pilots, IIRC. About 250-300 hrs per airframe a year I think. Mostly short hops in-state flying (they go to IAD and RIC a lot). Average length is about 35-50 min flying time. They carry donors, coaches, admin/staff, and recruits, as well as some other affiliated folks.
Pay is salaried. Pay band for the position is roughly from 40K-80K depending on experience. 60K is upper middle class living for SW VA. (Median income is about $22K).
Aircraft tail numbers are 10VT, and 180FW. Take a look at flightaware.com and you'll get a good idea of the flying.
Don't know about schedule. Do know that they have received a BOATLOAD of applications for this position.

Yeah, I got the email today that I passed the initial screening, and was sent an attachment to fill out and fax back by 7/25 for the insurance company. I figured there are alot more guys out there with alot more time, but it's worth the effort. I don't have anywhere near the "preferred minimums," but do have about 800hrs in type and 650 PIC in type, so maybe that will count for something.

As for the local applicants, there aren't that many CE500 operators around here (two on the ROA airport, including my operation), and a handful over in Lynchburg, VA (LYH) to the east.
However I know several applicants within the state that have applied or intended to do so (airline background). If it's anything like when my company posted a position, they are probably sorting through a good number of resumes. After four days of accepting applications, my company had over 1200 resumes from every state in the nation and several overseas countries. All for a CE560 pilot position.
