Little from column A, little from column B.

Let's see, we've had people leave EAS to go to:

Net Jets
Jet Suite (just one)
Spirit
American
United
Wheels Up
Regionals
Part 91
OCONUS stuff

There's probably more but these are all I can remember.

Who thinks if HM went away, that EAS could get back to a shade of its former self?

Interesting...thanks for the info.
What's the interview process like?

Here's my take on EAS for what it's worth:

Terrific place with terrific people, outstanding aircraft and very good pilot-management personnel (DO, CP, ACP) who genuinely care about their people and work hard to make it a better place for everyone. It is all that, with a horrendous schedule. Like, really really bad. And it's extremely unfortunate for an operation that otherwise shines. If they could bring their schedule in line with the industry to a 7/7 or even 8/6, EAS would jump to the top of the list of desirable Fractional operators.

Most things you read on forums are worth taking with a grain of salt and assuming exaggeration - the talk of the EAS schedule on here is an exception. It's all very accurate. If you're single or otherwise really don't mind being gone all the time, you'll probably have fun here. They take pretty good care of you on the road once your 14 hours are up. No doubt about it. I will strongly caution however, that if you're the sort of person who needs decompression time at home and a semi-predictable schedule, you'll soon find that no amount of money is worth how much you'll be gone. So in the end, it's impossible to give it an objective thumbs up or down. It all comes down to your own priorities and needs. Be very honest with yourself before taking the leap, and understand that 12/3 will almost always mean 12/3 despite what you may hear. If you're cool with that, the rest of the operation is outstanding.

Pretty standard. They start with a tour of the facility and a presentation about the history of the company, job description, benefits, projected growth, etc. Written test consisting of IFR and ATP written type questions. Interview itself is 3 parts. 2 on 1 with the CP and one ACP, 1 on 1 with HR, and 1 on 1 with another ACP. After that is a group lunch. Very straightforward process, and they do a pretty good job of making applicants feel comfortable.

Gonna disagree with the pilot-management personnel part. Anyone that's been here for more than a year knows what I'm talking about. Certain individual(s) in management are just plain terrible at communication. Trying to get questions answered only to have them thrown back at you ( ala devil's advocate) is just one example. It's currently (one of) the elephants in the room that no one wants to talk about I feel.

Talk about how terrible and restrictive HM is to any company he gets involved in.

I don't think he's talking about HM. Correct me if I'm wrong VSI.

RI830

Maybe this individual you speak of is having pressure applied from above? Was this individual this way before HM was onsite?

My answer is no he was not.

I guess I've never had occasion to deal with them beyond minor issues and to say hello, so I may be a little off base on that. Just basing it on my own interactions and impressions from colleagues. Everyone has had different dealings with them I suppose.
