L-3/Dynamic/Avenge
 

Minimalist Compare and Contrast:

W-2 or Contract Employee?

Training Contract?

Pay?

Conditions?

So far I know L-3 and Avenge are W-2 employers. Avenge pays 19,500 a month overseas. Avenge travels coach and is 60 on 60 off. Dynamic 107 on 97 off.

Here are a few other threads that will already answer most questions that you have.

Using any of the names in your title and doing a 'title' search will lead to numerous other threads with the answers that you are searching for.

Good hunting and reading.

Dynamic is W-2 as well. The info in the other threads is excellent. A new thread may condense and update the status of these companies.

Hi All,

I got the interview and the call to work for Dynamic recently, and I had to sweat for a a week or so to get the interim clearance.

I was wondering if anyone can answer any practical questions on accomadations when deployed in the different areas. No, I'm not talking about a big tub to take bubble baths in lol. I kinda know what to expect on that.

What I'm wondering about is civilian communications such as Skype, internet, etc. Will I be able to Skype with my kids? Will I be able or have time to take an internet class? What's the access to internet like?

I'd appreciate any comments you can or are allowed to give.

Thanks

Your conectivity to "the world" depends on the type of contract the company is supporting and your particular bed down location. In my case, because of security, Skype was not allowed in our living area although it was allowed in the MWR (moral welfare recreation), building / tent. Same goes for general internet use---all depends on your particular location. Iraq is generally better in terms of infrastructure than Afghan.

can i ask what your quals are? I got turned down after the phone interview I have no Tprop PIC but 2200 Jet pic and 600 hours SIC in a turbo prop 230 in the dash.

What happened to the monster L3 Dynamic thread? I can't seem to find/access it.

The one that is 55 pages long and has 545 posts is the second link in the post you quoted from me.

I keep getting this message:

I can't find it through the search engine either.

900 PIC King Air, BE99, And BE1900
3600 TT
350 Act
1100 Dual Given
600 SIC Jet

Smuggler,

Thanks for quick response.

It just disappeared recently. I was subscribed, and went to look yesterday, and it was gone.

It's also disappeared from my subscription link menu

There was some really good information on that old DA / L3 thread! I have already sent a message to the admin. to ask that the older thread be brought back, but it wouldn't hurt if everyone else also sent them a note asking the same thing. Cheers

Yes please bring back the Dynamic thread, I can't find it either.

RE: any of the mentioned companies

whats the rumor mill regarding Afghan ? Somebody told me since Iraq is drawing down those warm bodies will fill afghan openings and outside hiring into afghan will slow down. also some rumor that due to debt crisis/no money/etc, some of these contract jobs are going to be cut back

this was overheard on break at FSI recurrent for the King Air, one guy telling another guy "what he heard". All pure rumor.

(I have no idea - hence the question)

Fat Chance, the rumor is wrong

that is great news then, thanks !

Apache06 check PM

Any word on bringing back the Dynamic thread?

Any of you guys know if Dynamic is doing their interview sim ride on the desk top PCATD or are they using the FTD King Air sim for the interview? I had heard rumor that they are no longer using the desk top, but are using the KA FTD? Thanks

My buddy just interviewed a couple of days ago and they are still using the single engine Bonanza PCATD.

Dynamic sim profile
 

Does anyone know if the sim is the A36 Bonanza with the updated cockpit?

This is what it looks like. Plane old HSI and RMI.

Does anyone know if they offer you the job on the spot normally or do they make you wait it out for a letter for the yes or no?

They tell you they will let you know within two weeks.

Is there any updates on these companies? Also any thoughts on which one is the best? Highest Paid. Any info on Aero Contractor's Hiring process? Pay? etc.. Thanks for the help

In order of pay: L3-Vertex, Avenge, Dynamic. Dynamic is easiest to get into but if you ar elow time you are doing CONUS type stuff. Understand Avenge has better living conditions, but L-3 travels business not coach. L-3 is the big gun here but if you are looking for a job they all can work for you. Avenge is calling for a January class now. Dynamic does not offer full time status so you do not get benefits. You do at L-3. Avenge is about 40 and horu whilein training, about 35 an hour for L-3. Do not know on Dynamic. L-3 is all 350s, Avenge is a bit mixed. Dynamic is 200s. Avenge has Dash 7 and 8s and twin otters.

Anybody feel free to correct if you disagree.

Thanks Dragon 7. I have 6000TT, 4000 Tprop. Sigle Pilot type BE300/350, 2500 Pic Tprop, CE550 Type, 1400 Jet ,500 Pic Jet, 1000 BE1900D, 355 CRJ. I will get the axe early March 2012. Thanks for your help. I did one tour in Iraq with US Army, 1st Cav. I figure that one was for free this one ,if I go back, better be good pay. :-)

You are exactly what they are looking for so PM me if you need any other info. Pegasus may also fit you perfectly. You are in running for Fedex and SWA. I would not do 73 type before interview as those interviews are crapshoots.

What about 4400 TT, 2400 PIC - all C-130 variants (primarily SOF) - considering L3/Avenge/Dynamic et al

Right in the sweet spot if you have enough "community service"! LOL

all C-130 variants. Thank you for your service but remember you need to check the block and volunteer at the homeless shelter

:)

What if I'm homeless? Does working around my shelter count? :D

thank you for killing Bin Laden and toppling Saddam but please note if you want your resume to "really shine" you must demonstrate some commitment to your community and volunteer work such as adopting a highway and cleaning up the trash in the bar ditch

Adopt a Highway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Can anyone decode dynamics latest job posting?

Per the Dynamic Website
"Minimum requirements include:Current and qualified FAA Commercial certificate (ATP preferred) with any transport category turbo prop type rating (Casa, Saab, ATR, BE-1900, DHC -7 or military equivalent aircraft (P-3 or C-130 etc.). A minimum of 2000 hours total flight time and 500 hours or a type rating in any transport category turbojet aircraft (individuals in this category must have as a minimum of 300 hours in similar turbo prop type aircraft ie; Casa, Saab, ATR, King Air, BE-1900, etc.)."

So I read this as

Commercial MEI
Type Rating in a Multi-Turboprop
2000TT
500 Hours in Multi-turboprop

or

Commercial MEI
Type Rating in a Turbojet
2000TT
300 Hours Multi-turbprop

Agree?

You also must be able to hold a clearance.

Dynamic you do get full benefits. Health / Dental, 401K, life insurance paid for by the company, and disability. Dynamic also has Dash 8's.

If someone is willing, could you post the basic schedule, pay, basing for the 767 operating for Dynamic? Hard to find much, thanks.

From what Im told (seen) is that they are ending that business plan. No more Dynamic Airways..
