Merlin Airways

Anyone know anything about Merlin Airways?

I know that they are owned by Corporate Air. I know Merlin operates out of Puerto Rico, Philipine Islands, and other US locations.

What I don't know is the usual info. like QOL, pay, schedules and what not... feel free to enlighten me for better or worse.

Thanks!

Sorry...but I thought they were finished a few years ago.

I know a few pilots that went there on some sort of internship after Embry. But like I said, I thought they were done.

Just an update.... if anyone cares.
I just completed training with Merlin and I couldn't be any happier. No overnights or early shows. Surfing and snorkeling before work everyday and a pilot group that makes you feel at home from day one. The pay is good and the cost of living is low.
I feel like I won the lottery.
If anyone would like any current info on the company don't hesitate to PM me.

Have a great day.

Guaranteed base of 38K and change.... but more realistically I think about 50K for a first year CA. Aguadilla PR is our only base.

I know our company just stole away one of your FedEx contracts and hired away two of your pilots.

Ok.... no big deal here.... and no you didn´t take two of our pilots.... one of them, who ironically didn´t even start ground school with y´all, is back and last I heard the other is coming back in December. I am not here to get into a ****ing match with you. We lost a contract because we lost an airframe..... that simple.

They do hire low time pilots.... PM me for details.
