It's for 12 months. If you can't commit to that, why even bother applying? It's pro rated too.
Awesome company to work for. Schedule is set 4 on 3 off, not scattered. If they call you on a hard day off, you can say no, or say yes and make $600 a day (as a PIC) (even if it's just a single leg). Not many overnights and the ones we do are pretty cool. Company puts you up in nice hotels.

The training is done at Flight Safety in DFW, the sim sessions alone cost around the same as what the contract is for. The contract really is a non-issue if you are willing to stay for a year. And don't forget the 20k/year bonus after your second year as a PIC.

Just a small update, skype interview went well and I'll be heading out to CT probably in early April for sim session. In the interview, I was also told the PIC contract is being reduced to $17k, prorated monthly. My guy also said he doesn't believe there is any contract to do the ATP and CJ type, which was surprising but cool. I'm hoping to go to DFW if a slot becomes available but will accept HPN.

Great! How long is the training in DFW? Also, considering there is not type ride, is there some sort of evaluation towards the end of training?

Just to clarify. If someone is hired with Part 135 mins, does the contract start first day of work before being sent to DFW? In other words, I would imagine the company will train potential PIC’s for at least 2-4 month and have them fly as FO’s before sending them to DFW?
