I don't have any info regarding schedules or pay, but I do know a little background on the company.

They were started approximately 2 years ago with a King Air and Beechjet. The Beechjet and pilots originally came from CTS corp when that flight department was terminated. I believe those pilots are now the current General Manager and DO of Travel Management.

They have grown quickly in the last two years, building a very large hangar at EKM and acquiring a few more aircraft (another Beechjet, H850XP, Citation, and supposedly a Hawker Horizon). This has all been funded by Pete Liegl, the former owner and current CEO of Forest River RV. Mr. Liegl sold Forest River to Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway about two years ago for (rumored) $800 million.

They seem to be a good operation, however I do not know any pilots that currently work there. Please post any other info you might dig up....I'm interested in learning more about them.

I currently work for TMC..... I have been there since April and I have no major complaints. I think it is a great operation so far! Pay is competitive and the benefits are above average. QOL is equal to any other 135 operation with an 8 on 6 off schedule.

I am going to assume you mean for the 850XP and not the 400XP's. As far as I know, we are not on the 850 but we are on the new 400XP's.

Thanks, yes I meant the 850. I'm typed in the 800 and CE500. I sent in a resume this weekend. Can someone tell me a little about the schedule, pay, benefits, etc? Any info you can spare. Thanks!

It’s an 8 on 6 off schedule that starts on Wednesday and ends on Wednesday. Airline to the airplane usually early morning and end by getting home about 5pm at the end of the week.

Pay is direct deposit every Friday with per diem checks included on the first and third paychecks of the month. Benefits are pre-tax along with a 401k, which they match up to 3 percent. Medical, dental and vision....

We are a new company so there are some growing pains; however, it seems like each week it gets better.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully I will hear from them. Sounds like a growing operation with some potential.
