I truly miss the pilatus, and the people at Boutique. Great company in my book.

My previous post shouldn't be taken as a negative. Rather than just a preview of what to expect when hiring on with BTQ. For low time guys, it is a great place to build experience. The PC12 is a great first Turbine aircraft for those without that experience and a fun bird even for those guys like me with previous Turbine time. BTQ is a great bridge between CFI and Regional or Corporate/Charter.
Higher time guys do have options to fly bigger equipment and have a much higher earning potential.
Best of luck to you all.....

The other point is the cost of Living in Connecticut is way higher than any of the bases at BTQ except maybe LA. Also CT has one of the largest population exodus of any state. So that 100K really just equals out. 70k goes a lot further in Dallas than 90K in the northeast.
At least you fly in Puerto Rico in the Winter the summers there are unbearable sometimes.

Now many do not understand 135 OPS and to them it s too much work. Schedule changed can happen yes ,you will have to work some long days of course, but it is not always like that. Before they got this job they had been told what to expect !!!! So some of them do not belong in this industry at all. At the end if we talk money I m positive no operator offers this kind of benis and pay ..
