Well, this went downhill fast. Back on topic it all depends on what your friend wants from his career. Do he want go to the airlines eventually or do 135/91? With the industry the way it is today it may be best to go to piedmont if he wants to do 121. I use to follow the air share payscale but I'm not sure what it is now. Piedmont may be higher along with having a flow which doesn't count for much as fast as the industry changes but we'll see what's the future holds. If he wants to jump into the 91/135 game I personally would go to airshare if I lived in one of the bases.

 

Not sure what you mean...so, are you implying all other EAS employees are morons as well? Or just him? Your an idiot.

 

Yes he is an idiot. A disgruntled, ****ed at the world kind a guy. What kind of slacker stalks another company's web board?

 

Hey clown shoes, kick rocks.

 

Who ****ed in your Cheerios??

 

Well back on topic again. I would think long and hard about going to work for a company that had 25% pilot attrition last year with 19 pilots leaving in 2016 alone. We were told specifically that the 10/5 schedule was predicted off having something like 90 fractional pilots. And yep that count is 76. So it wouldn't take me long to make that decision!!!

 

And another 7 are slated to leave here soon if not some of them have already left.

 

I enjoyed the 10/5 schedule very much at Airshare for the most part. When it got busy it was work for sure, but days at home were generally 'off'

Your friend just needs to decide on his ultimate goal in this career. Very few of my friends over the years have ever made 'moron' decisions by going one place versus another. It often boils down to being misinformed or lacking proper guidance. In the past 2 years alone, half a dozen EAS/recent EAS pilots have gone to fedex, southwest, Delta, and career stop corporate jobs.

EAS is a great place to build up a large experience bank and put some PIC time in your logbook quickly. It's a valuable checkbox to have on nearly every application out there. 95% of the people are great to work with, management is in general very fair, and the pay is decent. I'm not going to sit here and list the negatives because we all know what they are.

There is something to gain from working at every type of operator too. Some of the best pilots I've flown with have done a little bit of everything, freight/charter/airline/mil. Additional perspective is never a bad thing!

And last but most importantly is the ability to sift through all of the **** and sh!t on these types of boards to find the unbiased information to make those decisions!

 

So again 26 pilots leaving the company within 14 months....... PATHETIC!!! But good for them for moving on!! All I would need to look at when making an informed decision to go there.

 

The industry is the most fluid it's been in over a decade. People are leaving EVERYWHERE except the career stops. EAS is only a career stop if you choose for it to be, there's plenty to be gained from putting in a few years working there.
