Does anyone have any info on these guys? I know they fly the C-208 and do EAS routes, but that's about it. Does anyone know who to contact to apply or is it even worth applying? Thanks!

Hey SIUAviation -

Network around - a recent SIU graduate is their Director of Operations.

They were hiring in the beginning of the year, not sure if they still are. They want a year commitment firm.

Good luck.

Its a small outfit from what Im hearing. With Cape Air now having a base in STL and taking their EAS routes...me thinks they will be in trouble come year end, if not sooner.

I interviewed there a while back. It's a smaller outfit, they talk of growth actually. I don't think they lost routes to Cape they just didn't get them. Pay is... IDK not what I could live off but I would have needed to build time with them.

They fly the 208, and really want 2500tt for the Van. 2000tt would work I believe. They send you to flight safety $30/hr year commitment, if you need to build time it's $18/hr in the van right seat till you get the tt for insurance. At flight safety if you don't already have your ATP you'll get that. If you pay for they flight safety course pay is $25/hr building time and $40-45/hr captain with no commitment. The increase in pay works out to be about the same as not paying for the course and working for them for a year.

They also fly Navajo's. I think it's under a different name but it's the same company. 1800tt, 200-500 ME I think, 100 in type or a BE58 is what they would like. I want to say it's $25/hr in the ho.

Don't quote me on everything, but that's as accurate as I can remember. They were hiring as of 2 months ago and I have seen ads on findapilot for them from time to time.

Really nice people that interviewed me, just don't think I could afford to live on the time building pay, I think it was like 60 hr guarantee. Same short routes all the time. Could work for someone in the STL area for sure.

[email protected] - Shane was the one I was in contact with.

They've been at the top of the list multiple days in a row now on findapilot.com When I applied I heard back from them within hours... on a weekend.

They are not hiring, terrible place to work, there is no "guarantee" or union for that matter. They just fired all of there SIC's. They only serve two citys now and have a 1 year training contract.

I sent my stuff in for SG's and got a call within an hr. Interview is set for June 14th. Also, I was under the impression that EAS routes require SIC's ie Seaport Airlines in the PNW and Great Lakes in (BE 1900)?
