Hey you are in my backyard! I live right next to PDK myself and just sent a new resume over to them. I got the automated message saying they received it and will let me know. I'll probably just continue doing that once a month. I did get a rejection email in March saying my time was too low.

Thanks for the updates. I'll keep my fingers crossed for when hiring starts back up in full!

First year as a captain you make $38k the first 6 months then up around $41k there after.

Based on the most recent big announcements there is no payscale. Each year they will decide what people will get paid. The sad truth is the most you will probably make as a capt will be about $53k.

7on 7 off. PSM and PDK bases. Most people are based in PSM and live in New England.
Agree with all of the above except 7on 7off is modified 4 times during the year, always during the summer, so you have to work four 2 day blocks during your week off. Company decides when you work these extra days. Lots of attrition lately so upgrades times will probably improve.

Default Question

What kind of bases do they have? Or are you all in NH?

Is there any office in the PDK base? I'm local to the airport and would love to stop by and meet some of the folks. I've driven all around the airport and see no markings on any of the hangers.

No payscale right now...and any payscale will probably cap out around $60,000.

Not a place you can work for more than a couple of years.

If a jet ever makes it onto property things may change.

There's no office or markings....just a "base manager" who's now responsible for introducing new pilots to PDK and the flying. They have a catering closet in the Epps hangar for supplies and that's it.

I'd recommend just saying hello to one of their pilots if you're around Epps...blue shirts! Friendly group from the few I've met and know.
