Exclusive Jets
 
Anyone know about these guys? They are looking for Excel PIC's and FO's.

Exclusive Jets LLC

Bump. Now the ad is for home based CJ2 captains and first officers. Anyone?

Run run run! It's the old Segrave/DPJ management. Crappy pay, benefits and flying junk!

av8n 05-16-2015 09:07 AM

I applied a few days ago and haven't heard back. I have 210 right seat hours in the CJ but no type.

I'm sure if you will sign a training contract, agree to long tours and work for a low daily rate they will hire anyone with a heart beat. I've seen their planes and I wouldn't put my family on one.

Research Segrave Aviation and Jet 1 (APF). It will make you run. There are better, safer, places to work.

av8n 05-16-2015 09:51 AM

Thanks,I'll stay where I am.

HwkrPlt 05-18-2015 06:09 AM

Thanks for the info

Bizjetdrvr51 07-10-2015 04:16 AM

Don't do it. Another Segrave 135 bottom feeder. Unethical, unprofessional in every way.

av8n 07-20-2015 12:30 PM

Does anyone have more specific info on them?

dhpflyn 01-03-2016 12:28 PM

Anything new on the company at all?

HydraulicPump 06-17-2016 03:19 AM

Run and never look back

Could not agree more. Go work at Starbucks, better pay and safer!

Cloud Counter is completely correct about EJ. Talked to EJ pilots counting the days till their training contract expires. That says it all!

Seriously it's not half bad.
Segrave operation yes.
Decent enough airplanes.
Trouble getting people to stay and they haven't hired the brightest.
Latest news I got was 25-35hrs a month from a buddy who just left.
Good hotels, Marriott and Hilton mostly.

[QUOTE=HwkrPlt;1861678]Anyone know about these guys? They are looking for Excel PIC's and FO's.

The worst company ever!! I left a few months after being hired!!!! This company should be shut down.
This place is great if you want to work on your emergency procedures!
Cabin depressurization at FL450
Engine failure on taxiway,
landing gear issues, the list goes on and on...
STAY AWAY!!!!

Some of that is/was pilot error...you know that....
They had pilots that had all the 'troubles' and they had pilots that never had any 'troubles'.

You just have to be realistic.
It's not the greatest company but it's not the worst either.
It's one of these places where you stay some time, gain the experience and move on.
Nobody said it's a place to retire, unless you're already 70.
It all boils down to expectations.
Maintenance was never unsafe. It was all done at Cessna Service Centers as the tails stay on the road.
If it's legal you were expected to go..bottom line.
My only complaint? Not enough flight time, 1000 in two years. Would have liked that to be 1500, color me purple and call me crazy.
If I got furloughed I'd go back without thinking twice about it.

N15CT 10-21-2016 12:37 PM

It Ain't That Bad!
 
I just left there a few months ago because I got a job paying a lot more. Yeah, the pay ain't that great but I never saw a big problem with the airplanes or maintenance. The chief pilot probably should retire but overall the company is not bad at all.

HydraulicPump 11-27-2016 04:29 AM

If you care about your safety or your certificates, you will stay far away from Exclusive jets. When the FAA does a ramp check on any of their aircraft, there will be certifications revoked or suspended. I flew with captains that have zero stick and rudder skills. None could hold a Vref within 20 knots, makes for an exciting landing in a CJ on a 4000 ft runway and mains touch halfway down the runway, and crosswind landings are just plain comical. Also if you like flying aircraft outside of limitations, Exclusive is the place for you. Go to *************.com and you will get more detailed info on Exclusive jets.

TiredSoul 02-05-2017 02:56 PM

HP,
No doubt you have to watch your back like with so many operations but nobody can force you to accept the airplane or to go fly.


Also if you like flying aircraft outside of limitations
I can't vouch for others but as PIC I never flew an airplane outside of limitations.
Problem is you have one dipstick that does and now dispatch and management gets 'confused'.
Pretty standard 135 phone conversation:

"...can you or can you not fly this airplane"
"I can but I won't"
"Well pilot Joe Blow says he will"
"Go call him back and give him they trip because I'm not doing it"

Easier said then done but that's kinda the gist of it.

mrski 02-05-2017 04:46 PM

Guys, I see a lot of responses like this but if this is truly taking place, why doesnt somebody do something before there is an incident? washing your hands of it and walking away isn't appropriate if safety is in jeopardy.

Because some people don't have rich parents and need to eat and have a bed.

That's a huge copout and extremely short sighted.

I'm guessing you've never been poor before...

mrski 02-06-2017 02:42 PM

If you have pilot ratings then I would venture to say you cannot be what I would consider poor. Unless you are over the hill, age wise, then there are a plethora of jobs available. Airlines are hiring in droves with only the minimums for flight requirements. I respectfully would question your decision making ability to fly either bad aircraft or anything contrary to safety just to get a paycheck. I find it hard to believe that anyone has such a lack of consideration for their own life and the lives if their pax to not stand against these apparent deficiencies.

Yeah, I've been poor. I work 3 jobs now. It doesn't justify breaking rules and regulations that could potentially end my career, or kill someone, including myself, especially when there are so many jobs out there.

They have offered me a job but I am not sure if I’m going to accept it. I don’t know them

flyExclusive is an excellent company. We are lessor known because we serve a niche market and do very little direct marketing. There are 22 Excels and CJ2s in the fleet that stay very busy.

Every employee I have enteracted with is excitied about working here.
QOL is excellent. Good hotels, above average Per Deim, 100% health (employee only), pilots continuously receive pay increases, and not a peep from company other than an occasional email on six days off between eight day rotations.

Experienced leadership, company growing exponentially.

Sounds good to me, coming from an employee!

Any insight into the current pay rates?

citationskipper 11-22-2017 05:57 AM

Pay raises coming in January, fleet is growing. Super-mid to be on property early next year. 25th jet on certificate this week. Fast upgrade. PM me for details.

mbouwser23 11-23-2017 05:05 PM

It says the company is located in Kinston, NC? Is that the same for most pilots? i live only 25 mins from there so it would make that commute a lot better then my 5 hour ORD 121 commute.

citationskipper 11-23-2017 06:37 PM

You don't need to be near Kinston. All pilots are home based within 1 hr of an airport with commercial service. There are a few that live in NC (EWN,PGV,CLT,RDU,AVL). Most are scattered across the country though with one as far west as SAN.

Is there a training contract? I know most places have one, but does it renew every year when you're due for recurrent? I feel like I heard someone mention this before.

My training agreement was only for one year period following initial type rating on assigned airframe. It would be prorated in the unlikely event I decided to move on before year of service.

Frankly, my attorney wife and I were surprised how reasonable the training agreement was. It was for less than I could have paid retail for CE-525 type at CAE or Flightsaftey and other expenses like airfare, rental car, hotel, and per diem that company incurred to send me to training were NOT included as part of agreement.

Does anyone have the name that Exclusive flies under on Flightaware?

thanks

mbouwser23 11-28-2017 10:27 AM

Is someone able to provide an idea of pay for FO and captain?
How long it is taking to upgrade to captain?
What the work schedule is? 15/13, 8/6?
Does they provide Health, 401k, dental, vision, any performance bonuses?
Are you allowed to keep hotel points and flight miles?
What is the companies longevity goal?

Amphibian 11-28-2017 10:50 AM

We do not have/use a company call sign. Just regular tail number of airplane. All fleet tails end in Juliet Sierra.

I think most of these questions are covered on profile page: https://www.airlinepilotcentral.com/airlines/regional/flyexclusive

We keep all the points! PM me if you have other specific questions.

PC12Junkie 11-28-2017 01:13 PM

Does the Citation 500 series type rating cover the 560 you guys have? Just curious? Thanks in advance.

citationskipper 11-28-2017 03:47 PM

No, but any citation time is a huge plus since many Cessna jets share similar systems/parts.

PC12Junkie 11-28-2017 04:13 PM

Would someone be so kind as to PM me your companies health benefits rates for medical, dental, vision and 401k. I know it’s covered for the pilot but I need the full skinny.

Thanks!
