Chart knowledge and sectional knowledge is what they are looking for initially without regard for NOS or Jeppesen. However, Jeppesen is what they use in the Garmin 3000 in the fleet, so you can start getting familiar with the Jeppesen format. They are hiring Captains and FOs, so throw your hat in the ring and do a cannonball when you jump in for maximum splash! Come on in, the water is just fine!

How has your experience been so far? How many jets do they have now? Are they doing home basing? How is the schedule and flying? Very interested in hearing some peoples experiences so far.

Things are going great! The plane and the company are both Excellent. My experience has been a blast and really fun adventure. Things change fast and continuously as is expected from the nature of the business. Home basing is the model and it is a dream versus fighting the Jumpseat Wars! 8 on and 6 off means we rotate out and back home on the same day each week unless you have a PTO request that changes it. Our rotation days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, so out on one of these and back home on the same one the next week. Just like anywhere there will be some long days and short overnights, but there are some short days and very cool overnights like TEX(Telluride) or BOC(Boca Raton) and everything in between! We go to places that the Airlines would literally be shaking in their boots to have to go into! One example is Eleuthera, Bahamas! Look at the runway pic on Airnav.com! Gnarly! The company is going Great financially! 12 airplanes now and 20 by the end of the year on our way to 60. First HondaJet Elite S is coming in a week or so! Don’t forget the announcement of being the first operator of the first all electric commercial airplane in the U.S. as the launch customer of the Bye Aerospace Company in 2025!

Mr Bond

Great, thanks for the update on whats happening there and explaining the 8 on 6 off rotation. I am very interested in this company. I sent you a PM, trying to prepare for the interview process.

I was wondering if you had any advice on the interview portion, how to prep and what they ask?

How many exclamation points can you use in a response before it’s considered excessive? ^^^This many.

Also, Boca overnights and a “gnarly” approach to an 8,500’ runway with no obstructions? Sounds better than working for Red Bull! Check your inbox for my resume!!!!!!!!!

Pilots new to 135 charter are always so amusing. He'll be singing a different tune in 6 months or so.

I hope you don't mean MYEH. Airlines literally fly in there. I mean they're RJs, <s>so not real airline pilots</s>, but you know...
