Just curious, you're knocking on the magic door to 1500 hrs and the regionals are beginning to hire again. Why go to Boutique?

Thumbs up

I don't have a job right now, and instructing isn't my forte. I'd love ANYTHING else. 1250 for my R-ATP too. I just feel like it would be good experience for me, even for a year before I go to the regionals, and a DEN base would be perfect. I know the company is terrible, and I've seen peoples resignation emails complaining about cut benefits, failure to pay etc.

A DEN base would be amazing, and yes I've seen the resignation letters complaining about cut benefits, failure to pay, failure to provide pay time off etc.

The problem is regionals aren’t yet touching 1500 hour CFIs and with how far out class dates are booking, a year of PC-12 flying might be more fun than being a CFI.

At those hours, Boutique isn't likely to hire you as an FO. PICs is what they're really going to be needing. They don't want to hire you, train you, let you fly for a month or so, and then immediately train you again- big waste of time and money from their perspective.

Finish your 135 PIC mins and apply as a Captain. They are much more likely to take you seriously.

I tossed one in, radio silence. I’ve tried to network it as well. I don’t think anyone knows anyone who works for Planesense. It’s like fight club.

Unhappy The Facts About Boutique

1) All PC-12 captains are on a 42% pay cut to $35K. 50% payout for King Air $70k down to $35k
2) Monthly Guarantee has dropped 35% from 70hrs to 46.62hrs. (Capt)
3) Company Health Care insurance explodes - without any notice - increases health insurance expenses by 50% per month.
4) Cancelled accumulation of all PTO. All earned PTO is paid out at half pay now and cannot be cashed out like as previously could. (Pilots don't have it but MX has had PTO returned since Jan.)
5) Termination of the entire 401K program.
And the planes are beat to death.
