The Talon in FRG? Stay far, far away. I've known pilots who worked there, and the horror stories go deep. Last I heard (a couple months ago), they're requiring pilots to sign training contracts for 6-month recurrent training.

I second NightIP's thoughts. I know several people who worked there and one who still does and I have yet to hear one positive comment. I have heard some very negative things that I will not publicly post. All I can say is seek employment elsewhere, this place is not worth your time.

Checked a 350 account our alumni association maintains and noticed that the minimums were identical on all of the jobs.
What you want to bet they're hiring for a couple open position and trying to get the starry-eyed low time guys who will be starting right seat in the Caravan with talks of the Challenger and Falcon?

When their website specifically points out they are non-union and can therefore push each pilot to the limits, enough said...
Every Talon Air pilot is a full-time, non union employee with extensive executive jet charter experience. This represents their unwavering dedication and offers you the comfort of repeatedly seeing the same pilots on every charter flight. Your personal or corporate travel will not be limited by duty-day restrictions with Talon Air. We will provide multiple crews for your trip to maximize the productivity of your aircraft charter.
This should read: Since our pilots are non-union, all you rich people who hate your unionized employees, can rest assured ours aren't. They have unwavering dedication because if they don't they are fired. Travel will not be limited by duty day restrictions because we will push each crew to the limit. If they don't comply or try to fatigue they will be canned.
As soon as I played the CEO video I immediately knew what kind of operation this was. Can he look any more arrogant with his tie and matching hankie.
