I met the Avainair folks at a job fair in January. Very nice group. They've called me twice for an interview but I haven't gone as it would be about a fifteen-grand pay cut for me. Sad because the job is much better than the regional flying I'm doing now.

If Avantair would bring their starting f/o pay into line with Netjets, Flex and Shares then I would go in a heartbeat!

Anyone know what bases guys are getting when getting hired at Avantair? Also can a guy switch between bases easily?

So have you actually interviewed? I noticed that you are at Comair right now. Things not going too well or you looking for something that can offer a little more. I'm very curious as to your reasoning as I'm also in the same situation but I'm at EV.
