Thanks for the info, I guess I can at least research and maybe send a resume, doesn't hurt to try, thats a little outrageous they said you didn't have enough time to right seat a falcon and your sitting on that experience.

I believe that BED only has a Falcon 50 based there, but I may be wrong. There is an FO opening on it though. When I interviewed, they said it required a lot of flight time to fly the Falcon. It sounded like I didn't have enough flight time to fly it...I may be mistaken. I have about 5400 hours TT.

If on the 8/6 schedule, and live near an airport, what's the QOL like? Do they really ever get you home once you begin a trip? Or do they kidnap you like many places? Also, are they looking for alot of pilots, and what's competetive for entry-level lear-ish planes?

Sorry, the Falcon is at BDR, not BED.
On the 8/6 schedule, you are a roaming pilot. You airline to the airplane and you stay with it until you airline home. If you happen to live where the airplane happens to be during the rotation, I wouldn't think they would mind if you go home, but I'm sure that will be a rare occasion. As for competitive mins...not sure exactly, but I know they like 250 in type. I am not sure if that is a hard number or not though.

Thanks. Actually, staying with it for the 8 days is fine, but I've heard horror stories of places keepng you extra. Also, Are they actively hiring? There's nothing on the careers portion on their website. Do you like it there?
