Another employer's dream.

Babs, while you are having fun with your family and friends, five guys with drive and initiative have read all the posts, networked with company employees, and have gotten their resumes walked in the door. At least one of them is going to get an interview with the company. I predict that you won't get an interview because of your laziness, and that you're going to ***** and moan about what an unfair world this is.
Way to generalize and act like you know anything about me.
For what it's worth, I am perfectly happy with where I'm at in my career and life is pretty good. That being said, I am always looking to see what else is out there. The information I requested is not readily available on either APC or Executive Airshare's own website. I can assure you that I am nothing close to resembling the word lazy. Sorry I touched a nerve. Good luck to you in your future!

I think I can make it work if I were fortunate enough to not only get an interview, but be hired. My kids have to finish high school before the wife will move, but we have had to live apart before (I did a year in Qatar for the USAF). I have family in the KC area that I can stay with when working or on call. I know you are busy so I appreciate any/all info. Is there any possibility of grouping days off to do 24/6 or is it only 12/3. Also, when are you looking for folks to start? My availability is 21 October due to my military retirement. Thanks again. -rmr

rmr,

sorry man....no flexibility in the schedule. It is what it is and ain't what it ain't.
Please get in contact with me if your ability to move closer works out!

What are all the current bases?
DFW (FTW/DAL), RVS, ICT/AAO, MKC, BUF

What are the schedules like?
12 Available/3 Off; Not what it appears on paper…..we are in and out of base during our 12 day rotation. We spend nights at home during those 12 days. We have a wide range of trips from quick day trips to 4-5 days if customer schedules them. There are many other aspects to discuss that would take a whole page to discuss.

How many hours does someone typically fly in a month?
Depends on airframe; Phenom drivers avg 400-500 hrs/yr

What is SIC and PIC pay after year one?
SIC’s $36,000
PIC’s
C90 $49,000
KA350 $58,000
Phenom 100 $64,000
Phenom 300 $80,000

We have tenure and performance based raise each year that will increase the above listed pay rates

What are competitive times for the Phenom positions?
There are no specific numbers. We need min 1500TT for SIC’s and 3500TT for an off the street Phenom 100 PIC. We look at a multitude of things when selecting a potential teammate.

How similar is the Phenom to the E145?
The Embraer logic and switches are the same but very different in many other ways. I have flown the E145, Legacy 600 and Phenoms.

Where is training done?
CAE DFW for Phenoms
Flight Safety ICT for Hawker Beech

Are you paid during training?
Yes!

Are you paid per diem?
No….we are allotted $15/15/30 for meals when on trips and we charge them to our company cards.

Any 401k? 401k match?
Yes….50 cents on the dollar up to 6%
You can pick and choose the investments from the list provided.

Vacation?
21 days….accrues at 6.4 hours per pay period. 2 weeks vacation and 1 week sick. Can be used in one day increments and requested up to six months in advance.

Anything else you might want to throw in there about general QOL?
Where do I start………
No TSA
Management knows my name
Management cares what I think
Company is making money and getting new airplanes
Great variety of flying
etc

Dumb question on the 15/15/30. Can you skip breakfast and eat a $45 dinner?

No sir! Accounting, billing and tracking are the reason why.
Each meal may be billable to different sources and is you drop a $45 bill on a customer who is expecting a $30 bill....well you can see where that is gonna go!

Awesome post RI830! Thanks for taking the time to do that. I haven't been able to find any financials on the company. Do you have any idea how well the company is doing or where I could find that info? It appears to be privately held, so maybe that info isn't shared with the general public.

The financials are not public info, but I can tell you that the company is as good as they have ever been financially.
Our conservative growth model and not bringing on airplanes without secured investments or cash is HUGE!
