How is the experience with training?
Is there any training pay?

I couldn't find the info right away so if it was asked before my apologies however info would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Honestly with that time you're looking at being hired straight into a captains seat. Training is paid, can't remember the specifics though. Good luck, Denver is expanding like crazy. Should be a lot of hiring and movement in the next few months.

Would you really rather fly a Pilatus than a Falcon 50? Just curious. I have always been a big Falcon fan!

You would go directly to left seat with those qualifications....

The training is fast, I mean FAST! This is a part 135 company. They don't spoon feed you. You had better be able to study on your own...

Negative... Fokker F-50
(I flew the little Fokker!)
Basically upgraded F-27 or under license produced Fairchild FH-227.

No desire for a jet or major. I've been there done that. Looking for a small pilot group which can appreciate a sophisticated a/c like the pc12.

I know for some it might a temporarily job but when you loose the "who has the biggest ****" than quality of life is al what matters. It's no secret how the life as a regional pilot is..

It's about two weeks. They own a house that you stay at. Depending how large your class is you might have single room, or it might be double if more full.

Who's padding time? Who said anything about going straight to Delta?

Thanks for the pointless addition to the thread.

Back on to topic - most people are happy here. Great place to get experience for SICs looking to go 121/ other 135 operations. It would be a rough gig if it weren't for the people you get to work with around here. You get burnt out on the schedule real quick, though. I'm envious of the DEN guys getting all these new routes. I hear Moab is awesome.

Purely out of curiosity, how does Boutique feel about applications that don't meet the minimums? I have 230 hours, PPL, IR. I anticipate having my commercial in hand by the end of June. Would I be OK applying, or should I wait until I have the commercial in hand?
