Happen to know what they want for mins?

It is in the sentence that you are quoting, current.
This tends to mean in part 135 that they want you to have an 8410 or equivalent. A piece of paper from the FAA or designee that shows you have completed an 135.293 or 135.297 checkride within the last 12 months (co-pilot) or 6 months (captain).

Well that didn't answer the question at all...
Again... any idea on the minimums? As in... how many hours do they want? Aside from being current...

Just got a call from Alliance Air Charter. Any new info on these guys? Did they acquire Cherry Air? Any info on pay, contract, commuting, etc would be helpful.

I have a couple of buddies who work there. Tailwinds acquired Cherry Air a couple of years ago, not Alliance.

The pay is pretty good. Low to mid 30's for a Shorts FO and somewhere north of 50k (maybe 60k) for captains. IT depends on how much you fly. I think they have a year training contract and I don't think it's commutable.

The latest at Alliance Air Charter;

*No schedule (Once you come back to Denton at the end of a trip you move to the bottom of the call out list, if your gone one weekend you get the next off.

*DTO (Denton, TX) base only

*3 Shorts 360, 3 Falcon 20

*Captain pay, base salary 46K or 50K for dual qual. 15¢/mile (Statue mile, airport to airport, repo or live leg).

*For F/O's I think it is 28K (could be 32K) base salary, 9¢/mile.

*Everyone gets $1.75 per diem.

*Fly all over USA, Mexico, and Canada.

*pilots get to pick our hotel we overnight at within reason.

*most flying is Monday to Friday, some pop-ups happen on weekend from time to time.

*Management is probably the best I've ever had. (Which isn't saying much)

*SOP are horrible

*Falcons break a lot and probably should be in a museum.

*most pilots at the company are pretty cool, but some should have their cert. revoked.

*Company is currently looking for pilots with enough jet experience to be a street Falcon 20 captain. (Doubt anyone with Jet PIC time will want to come here.)

Right now heavy on F/O's but that's about to change soon.

Good info, thanks.

Any idea when they'll be needing FO's and where they'll post the job?

Wakeboard88

We have had a lot of F/O's talking about going to the regionals soon. I suspect that could happen in the next 2-4 months.

So I would say to be realistic around 4 months. They will post an ad on Climbto350.com.

PM sent Wakeboard.
