Hey there! For my planning, do new hires coming in have a say on where they get based or are bases assigned based on company needs? I’m within 1.5 hours of HPN but not OXC. Thanks!

New hires can state their preferences. You would have no issue holding HPN as a base. SJU is the toughest to hold as a base simply because it is so small.

How many CJs in fleet is Tradewind up to and number of pilots on the CJ fleet? Which Base(s) are CJs located?

Currently 4 CJ3s in the fleet. 11 pilots in the fleet, the most junior was hired 06/2018. Jet pilots are dual based in OXC/HPN.

I've heard OXC was a smaller base than HPN, with that being said how hard is it to hold OXC out of training? Also are there any plans to hire? (even if it's next summer, just curious how TW is holding up)

It’s not hard to hold OXC, just anticipate doing more driving than pilots in HPN. If things continue to go well for Tradewind, hopefully there will be some hiring in 2021.

Good luck! Likely one of the best 135 gigs out there.
