Also how many hours do you average per year? My goal is to get to 1500 and move on, trying to decide about staying a CFI or moving on?
Thanks in advance.

I’m also trying to see how competitive 500 TT and some multi time would look to Contour. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

The company is growing and has solid leadership.
FO pay is straight salary. Pay scales published are accurate.
Great company to get in jets and learn Scheduled ops. It’s a 121 flying under 135/380 so the air transport category experience is worth its weight in gold for those a ways from 1500.

Holy god don’t go to contour
As someone who thankfully escaped this awful company, don’t go here. 36k a year in the right seat, 11 on 4 off. No union, 20k training agreement. The planes were broken a lot and you will get used and abused.

As to days off per month, by in large it is 12, some months have seen 11. This month many of the SICs are at 13 days off; that does not include months with vacation. I n the past, we had a different operation/fleet with a 11/4 schedule.
