Question Empire Airways out of FRG...q's.

Hi all,

I was wondering, if anyone knows what is going on at Empire Airways.
Are they looking for pilots, what do they pay now days CPT/FO, how many pilots do they have, upgrade time, QOL in general, etc. ???

Thanks.

I used to fly the same routes that they do in the same type of aircraft. They get to sit at the FBO in ACY most of the day until the late night flight back to FRG. I'm not sure what the FO's pay is, but a friend of mine went to fly for them and was offered 46k to captain a JS31. Plus since he lives near MCO they were going to house him in a one br apartment and give him two rt tickets home per month. Most of the flying is on the weekends for the casinos. I have noticed they do some other charter work as well. I'm seeing my friend tomorrow, I'll ask him.

Ok, here is some more info. FO pay is only 18k, plus per Diem of about $1.35hr. Yes they are looking for pilots, they send you to Flight Safety for training. Upgrades depends on TT and past experience and on the insurance company (all too common now). I have 1600tt and about 1200 in the JS31 so they were talking about putting me into the left seat almost right away. Most of the time sounds like 2500TT. QOL, well in NY not sure what kind of life you can make on 18K a year, I had a hard enough time doing it on the same salary in a company paid hotel room. Not sure how many pilots they have. I met several in my time up that way, all very nice people. One FA they had on their Saab was very nice.
