Try Executive AirShare (Executive Flight Services) @ Fractional Aircraft Ownership | Executive AirShare.

They have a FTW and DAL base (not much at DAL when I left, just a few managed planes IIRC). They were managing a Citation VII (could've been a III or VI, I forget), but who knows if they still have it.

Either way, they're often looking for pilots. Turn over has been a bit high lately due to lots of days worked and most are overnights. Standard company equipment are C90Bs, BE350, Beechjets (400A), and Phenom 100s and 300s.

Hope that helps, and good luck!

What is "a lot" of days? Do they pay well? Will they hire a 121 FO (ATP, 4,500tt, 3,100 turbine SIC) for CA position?

Things have probably changed a bit since I left. At the time it was "4 Hard Days off per month." I have friends who, earlier last year, were working around 25 days a month (one was up around 27). Just talked to another friend who said most of his recent 15 days ON were away from home (in a row).

I was making mid-$50k as PIC on the Phenom 100, 350 and 90, and BJ SIC.

Not sure if they'd hire you into a PIC position, but you never know until you try.

There are others on this forum who are currently working there who could give more accurate information, so I'd prefer not to comment on what I don't know. What I've mentioned is from personal experience & from good friends who are still there.

As mentioned, the DO and CP are good guys and the pilot group was a lot of fun to work with. You'll get to know the good places to stop on I-35 when driving between FTW, ICT and MKC (and 412 when going to RVS), lol.

No worries! I saw a thread in the Fractional forum that had/has an EAS guy posting there. You might get more current info there.

Currently there, and we are still suffering from turnover which leads to lots of days worked in a row. They are aggressively hiring to try to correct it and put a stop to it. New D.O. and C.P. are doing a good job, and as previous poster mentioned the group of guys there is great. We started 12 on call with 3 off Jan 1st. It sounds bad, but 15 on call was even worse. The good thing about this place is that you get typed quick and move up fast. Pay is below industry standard and schedule is hit or miss, some months, 25-27 days, some 18....
