With the qualifications they are asking for, those salaries are laughable. 70-75k for a lear captain and 100-105k for a GIV captain. 30-60 day rotations? Typed with time in type? Those are much closer to SIC salaries for that.

The guys “running” Aery have a history of bidding contracts they have no ability to fulfill.

Are you thinking about a different Mountain?

It sounds like good work and I'd love to do it but about that pay.... What happened to the last contract pilots? Usually they just roll over to a new employer, maybe the job conditions or pay are tweeked a little bit and everyone just presses on. Or is this a start from scratch contract?
I believe that this thread is about the Mountain Aviation that is based out of BJC, flying mainly Citation X’s, and is part of the Wheels Up group. I haven’t heard of any of the Military contracts that you all are speaking about.. Crickets most of the time, though..

These postings are done to satisfy legal or company requirements. Not anything new.

Any Updates?
Both Aery and Mountain have job postings for the San Diego operation. Are they one and the same? Or did one of them win the contract only to lose it to the other. I'm familiar with the mission out of Coronado and would be interested in the job, but both these companies sound dicey based on previous replies.
