Tag seems like a good company to work for. They have a lot of planes based all around the country. What I know is what I read off of www.tagaviation.com You've probably already seen the site but if not there is some good info on there.

Here are the requirments, pretty high

Total Time, All Aircraft: 4,000 hours
Category (fixedwing/rotorwing): 2,000 hours PIC
Class (MEL): 1,500 hours PIC
Actual Instrument: 300 hours
Turbine: 1,000 hours
Turbojet: 500 hours PIC

Good Luck
Chris

TAG's relationship to frax is a part ownership in CitationShares. CitationShares does all its own hiring, TAG is not involved.

For the most part the pilots - while officially employed by TAG - work for the specific owner of the aircraft. Each experience is different, depending on who the aircraft owner is. QOL is fairly good with most of the owners.

It varies depending on the aircraft owner. Its very typical of a part 91 oriented company. A lot of the aircraft are on the 135 cert but don't really fly any charter, some fly a TON of charter.

My point is that just because someone has a "TAG job", and their paycheck comes from TAG, and their marching orders come from TAG dispatch... well, in reality we all know the golden rule. (for those not keeping up: "he who has the gold, makes the rules"). They are at the beckon call of the owner of the airplane they fly.
