Yes, this is a managed aircraft. Part 91 owner and 135 on demand charter. Part of a 3-aircraft operation. Previous PIC flew all 3 aircraft; other aircraft are Citations. All aircraft stay very busy. Unsure of pay.

Cool, thanks...so I take it the schedule = standard 135 schedule (none)?

FYI - plenty of airlines with decent schedules are hiring.

Is the 3500 TT are hard rule for street captains? I’ve only got 2500 TT but 1000 multi and 500 PIC in type. Any idea if that would be enough? Or at least make the upgrade less than a year?

Thanks for the info

Hey there, new to the site (or at least interaction wise)

I was wondering if WuP/Gamma will get you an ATP. Obviously they get you a type but considering SIC's are wanted with ATP mins I would hope they will get you one

I just returned from Indoc and they announced that if you have the ATP hours, they will send you the new school that is required for the ATP rating. This school is a whopping $5000 fee

Gama announced that they would pay for the school for accepted SICs but lower your first year salary to $50K to pay for the school.

Seemed to me like a decent deal but each person would evaluate it differently.

Incorrect. While day to day schedules vary due to the nature of on demand charter, your actual work schedule is known well in advance. You do 8/6 rotations with travel on days 1 and 8. If you have to show to the airport before 0600 on Day 1 or get back after midnight on Day 8, you get an extra $500.

You're home based so there's no commuting. Having worked in the airline business and watched domiciles downsize and/or close, it's great to have a secure domicile. And while the company can choose to "close" a domicile, if you're already based there you're "grandfathered" in and you don't get displaced.

I notice your profile says you're an RJ FO. Do you or have you actually worked at Gama/WU?

Above description applies to Gama/WU, not Gama managed aircraft. That's a different arrangement and varies by aircraft.
