Been asking around ...
I've been asking around about Boutique because they caught my eye for a move out west ...
Sounds like they're adding routes in CO, AZ, and CA. Maybe more?
Really sounds like they're chasing EAS money without some basic attention to their existing routes and employees - ie, growing way too fast. Money out of SFO without a solid understanding of aviation or the needs and wants of a long-term pilot group. Management pilots sound a bit inexperienced for the growth they're trying to make happen. And sounds like there's already some staffing and paperwork issues that are just going to get worse
?
Good PIC pay but I predict major issues down the line.
I'm open to more info, but looking elsewhere for now.

They just added 20 new pilots, all finished training.

Can the SIC time in the PC-12, at Boutique, be logged toward the 1200 135 minimum needed for PIC?
(I guess the op-specs or the GOM would provide the answer but if they are hiring SIC's with 250 hours I would think that that time would not be loggable until they got to 500 via part 91 operations or something).
Do the PC-12's at Boutique have autopilots?

All PC-12s have an autopilot, unless someone took it out. I don't work for Boutique, but as long as their OPSPECs or GOM require an SIC, all the time is loggable. In general, SICs only need a Commercial/Instrument for Part 135 ops, so there shouldn't be an issue with total time (I have no idea where you came up with 500...)

Also - for the current Boutique pilots, are most of the legs 135 or do some fall under part 91? Just trying to gauge how much time the SIC can actually log?
Thanks in advance!
