So how many days off do you have a month? How are those travel benefits, and schedule flexibility? Good union presence where you are?

At my 135 we have KCM, CASS, and standby benefits on multiple carriers for our dependents. 10-14 days off a month. I can easily trade shifts, drop them or pick up open time. No union, no union dues. Pay is significantly better than the regionals, and I don’t have to commute. There are good options out there and there really isn’t a one size fits all. For you to think everyone at a 135 is making a bad decision is just incorrect. I already have more PIC time than my 121 peers and will likely have Jet Multi turbine PIC before most of them are even eligible to upgrade to captain.

Ahh. I think I get it now. You want the PIC time to get on with an airline, because it’s a better gig. How dumb of me.

Yes - because airlines are the ONLY job that could possibly require PIC time.

How dumb of me!

I am required to work half of the month doing 12 hour shifts. Us pilots make our schedules, so I get the days off I need. As long as everything is covered management has no complaints. No union, no seniority BS and no dues. We work together so nobody gets screwed. No travel benefits. My biggest gripe is that the company does not contribute toward health insurance for the family. Only the employee.
