I know people who sent the application and never heard back, so it's not a sure thing at that point.
If you have not heard back from HR in a couple of weeks, give them a call. They are really friendly and will speak to you. Continued interest is a good thing. Keep resending updated resume with hours etc and staying in touch. They add it to your file.

I got the interview but said no to it, I took a much earlier class date from "the other" popular PC12 operator

Get the hell out and get a seniority number at an airline. Doing BED-ACK-BED 5 times in a single engine airplane isn't doing your career any good.

Oh, and if I had a $1 for every time I get a text or phone call from someone still at PS that wants to get out but can't afford the pay cut cause their lack of multi time means they have to take a step back in a career, I'd be a millionaire.

Just curious. What will be the going rate for PC24 pilots when they arrive? Same as the Beechjet? I imagine the PC24 is generating some real excitement among your customers - can't wait to see it on the ramp...

How many PC24s do you think will be added total? 20-30 airframes?

PC-24 pilots will get the same as the Nextant pilots. And they all will fly the PC-12 from time to time.

We’ve gotten some great feedback from owners about the upcoming PC-24. Some even made a trip to see the interior mock-up Pilatus set up for us. It really is a neat plane. We have an order for at least 6, and I’m fairly certain we would have ordered more but they will be back ordered for awhile. The ultimate fleet plan (5+ years) will be a mix of PC12 and PC24’s. I couldn’t guess the ratio of the two but I would assume more PC-12s. It really depends on whether and how we choose to expand out west.

A very well done promotional video for the PC-24 and PC-12.

I think they both look like spectacular aircraft.

If that has changed, my apologies and I'm glad they're getting things under control.
Drop that mic! lol

I have been a long time observer of this thread mostly because it’s a local company and I wondered how younger pilots used this job as a stepping stone in their careers. Quoting the post above anybody flying a PC12 at Planesense who has little multi time and 1500 hours needs to move on as soon any company bonds are fulfilled. Multi time is going to be needed in all most worthwhile jobs especially if airlines are your goal .
I was told by former coworker ( I’m DAL retired ) this PM that his new hire FO this last trip had around 3000 hrs and no PIC time . The FO did have a masters degree but knowbody on the inside to help him. Times are moving fast folks .
