We generally have no problem getting low time folks to hire into our SF340 and E120 aircraft. Since our goal is to move those folks into the left seat of our other aircraft, we have no real need to hire someone into the right seat that meets the requirements of a Part 135 IFR Captain. And we generally don't move 340 and 120 first officers directly over to the left seat of those aircraft. So if becoming a 340 Captain is your ultimate goal, you are better off starting in one of our other aircraft AS a captain.

I have an agency telling me that if you are a charter pilot, in addition to the $97000 per year, you will also earn an extra of $50000-$70000 per year in charter incentives. Would anyone kindly clarify that?


Ciao

Directly from the job posting:

The numbers are based on the average charter activity over the past year. In addition to the base salary, you get paid extra to load the aircraft, and you get paid a certain amount per mile that you fly. I believe it's $0.18/nm

BustedGear,

As charter pilots, which aircraft and base do you actually work close to these figures 97000+(50000 to 70000) per year?


Are the Ameriflight EMB120 or SB340 PIC hours credited towards § 121.436 Pilot PIC Qualification under

(3) If serving as pilot in command in part 121 operations, has 1,000 hours as:

(iii) Pilot in command in operations under § 135.243(a)(1) of this chapter; OR

(iv) Pilot in command in eligible on-demand operations that require the pilot to satisfy § 135.4(a)(2)(ii)(A) of this chapter;


All suggestions and comments are welcome for discussion.

No.
For it to count, the operation must require an ATP for the PIC. Turboprop cargo does not require an ATP so therefore does not qualify.

SA227 aircraft are based in ELP,. First Officers are expected to provide their own living accommodations. Captains may commute from any location with regular air service at company expense.

SF340 crews are based in DFW and E120s are relocating to CVG shortly. Captains and First Officers are expected to reside at their respective bases at their own expense.

All charter pilots work a 2 week on/2 week off/2 week on/1 week off schedule.

Those salary figures are for the SA227. E120 and SF340 have a slightly higher base figure (about $101K first year)

Correction: Metro charter pilots work a 2 week on/2 week off/2 week on/1 week off schedule. SF340 and E120 charter pilots work a 3 week on/1 week off schedule.

Experienced FO with 820hrs of 121 time 3500TT
 

So the question is would I be able to come on as a DEC to the EMB120 with 3500TT. I’m typed in the ATR 42/72-600 and Saab 340. I have 820 hrs in 121 time. Or do I have to come in as an FO? Thx

All fleets are DEC if you have the hours. You would have no trouble getting the EMB120 (PIC) with those hours.

You can definitely get in as a CA, the question is just if there's spots. Looks like GEG is open.
