Typical 135 on-demand freight hauler ala Royal, Ameristar or Alliance. They just went through a bankruptcy, reorganization and are supposedly under new ownership. Lears are gone, just a handful of -20s, maybe 2 or 3. QOL, probably a 1 hour callout. Expect long periods of time on the road, don't hesitate to refuse an airplane if you're not comfortable with it. My bet is that you'll sit in YIP, ELP or LRD until they sell a trip. The Falcons were tired 10 years ago, don't think they're RVSM'd. Haven't heard them much in the FLs recently so I'm not sure how much they're flying. My bet is that it's much different than back in the 90s. Pay is probably still base + mileage. Good luck.

Thanks for the info Challenger. They had an ad posted on Climbto350 yesterday, so I was curious what was up. You know what their call sign is? (I assume it's Cherry Air??) Sounds as though it may not be a wise choice to work for?......

Maybe that's why they need pilots, nobody wants to be a glorified maintenance runner?
