I know that this is an old thread but I just had a question or two about it. How accurate are the numbers here?

How hard is it to get the “average?” I hear they fly Mon-Thurs on a regular basis, so I’m guessing getting the “average” involves weekend flying, correct?

Any more info is very much appreciated, Thanks.

I can tell you that the numbers posted previously are currently accurate. As for the "averages" I'm not quite sure, but the initial incentives and sign on bonuses are completely accurate.

Is Airnet still hiring? How is things over there? Are there bases in the Northeast?

They are currently interviewing. However, it is only into a pool right now. You will receive a class date much earlier if you go in as a PIC as opposed to the SIC route.

I make above the posted average. Getting the average involves flying a fifth day as part of your route, usually on Friday or Sunday.

To answer your question, about half the guys make above average, and about half make below average.

What they really should be desperate for is cargo. Rode from Love-St.Louis-Columbus-St.Louis-Memphis-Love and could have put all the cargo in my Comanche. I think that's a little more than a "transition phase".

And that ride makes you the expert, right?

Company is based at LCK, Columbus, Ohio.

One class started today, 6 guys I believe. No other classes on the schedule right now.

If you are coming to AirNet, plan on living on the minimum. Everything else is gravy. 5th nights come and go, runs change and so on.

Yes it does. Unless you own your own plane like I do then YOU have no idea what it costs to operate. There is no way to justify Jet A on that length of trip for 100 pounds of cargo.
