Fly guy, I'm curious about your style of writing and your position...
You speak about a topic involving possible furloughs and turmoil for people at this company, yet you end every post with a smiley face.
On another note, I've read some of your other posts. In these comments you seem very enthusiastic about putting down this company, yet you indicate that you haven't worked for the organization.
So I must humbly ask: what is your angle?

XOJet and Apollo supposidly teamed up several months back and last rotation more than 50% of the trips I flew were for Apollo. The fact that Options and Sentient are now partnered up doesn't really say too much about business for TMC. We do a lot of extra lift for the fractional companies as well as many charter companies and brokers. I could be wrong but business seems to be just as busy as usual. Our airplanes don't typically fly more than a few legs a day anyways with 1-3 days of time on the ground in some cases between flying days, so looking at N# on Flight aware is not going to paint an accurate picture of what is going on with TMC.

Marketing agreement.

Met in the early a.m. at C20 – about a 30 minute drive from the Elkhart area – and was paired with another interviewee for a brief sim period in a ground-based simulator, sort of like a glorified CPT with visuals. Would be a great addition to one's "ultimate man-cave!" Immediately beforehand we both completed a multiple-question test which was straight out of the ATP question bank I seem to recall. The simulator was set up to emulate a straight-wing Citation. We took turns in either seat; the other guy went first. Takeoff from TEB, follow the TEB8, do some basic airwork and get vectored for an ILS back into TEB. On my run I received a V1 cut followed by more of the same. They’re looking at CRM, judgment, flying skills, etc.
They expect you back at company headquarters after a break for lunch. They will send one of to a lab for drug screening while the other interviews. The Director of HR and the CP conduct. Basic HR-type questions: tell us about yourself; tell us about a time when…; why TMC; what are your strengths and weaknesses, and so on. They’ll walk you around the campus and introduce you to other key folks. They do attempt to put you at ease and leave you feeling good about coming to work there.
I did receive an offer which I chose to decline. For an individual at a certain place in his/her career, it might represent a good choice. It just was not for me.
I hope that this is informative. Feel free to PM me with specific questions.
