If you've worked there, which I'm assuming you have, then you know it wasn't a rant. I think it's a good thing to let our fellow pilots know what they are signing up for.

What kind of time are they looking for? Do they count rotor head time? Thinking about shooting them a resume. I like the idea of being home based vs commuting to a regional gig. NetJets is the long term goal, but I have to start somewhere.

FOs just got a small raise, and CAs got 1 and a fraction annual bonus days. That should do...nothing. I heard Wheels Up just got 8/6 schedule,KCM,vacation, company paid benefits, and a pretty reasonable salary on top of it all.

"Merit based upgrade with seniority considered." If you do upgrade (currently a year and a half in the right seat for upgrades) you go to year 1 captain's pay. No bereavement policy. Company does not pay into any benefits which are expensive and quite worthless. It's a company that is run by greedy tyrants who go out of their way to screw it's people over and terminates very good pilots who have been serving them for years. Company fires people for very petty things. If you cause them to lose a dime, you're in trouble. Fear permeates the company and drives every little detail. Some crew members are good people and others are just so whipped and afraid, they can be very difficult to work with. You're stuck with the same crew member for 15-20 days. Yes, we did vote in a union but it will be years before any positive changes happen. Pay is low, per Diem is a laugh. You have to watch your paycheck every month because they constantly short you days.
Any company that makes you sign a training contract is suspect. We have guys show up for initial class and bail after a few days of learning how we operate.
Do yourself a favor and go somewhere with something to offer. This place is a dead end life of fear, misery and exhaustion.
