Default Nicholas Air

The messages on this board are not up to date, I understand that there has been some pilot hiring. What is it like over at Nicholas Air now ? Do they have enough pilots for their flight schedules ? What kind of benefits do they offer ? I am very interested in this company ................ Thank you in advance !!!

Check the Fractional section and also consider that there was a lengthy thread on this company in here that was deleted. Should tell you everything.

If the same DO is still there from 2019-ish, I would steer clear.

I tried to read the lawsuit but did not have 2 hours. Obviously the PIC always needs to go pee and cannot hold it. I interviewed with them. I did not like their pay structure and they wanted you to sign a training agreement even on recurrent training each time. That was the end of that. I have interviewed pilots at my current job that previously worked there and they all have said it was the unsafest operation they have ever worked at. They fly you into the ground.

I don’t know Judge Morris personally, but have read many, many of his opinions. He is a pilot and airplane owner in addition to being an outstanding jurist. His AIR21 opinions are well-researched, thorough, and almost universally spot-on.

A note for anyone filing an AIR21 complaint with OSHA: Their investigators are responsible for investigating whistleblower complaints under more than two dozen different laws and industries (railroad, workplace safety, etc.) and aviation (AIR21) is a minor part of their workload. Consequently, they are very quick to dismiss a case. My advice, if you think you have a legitimate AIR21 case, hire a good labor attorney in the beginning. This will ensure your case is not ultimately dismissed for missing a deadline or filing requirement.

The tl;dr in that case was that the PIC went to the lav and left a passenger as the sole manipulator of controls.
Passenger just had to wear a full uniform to make it look like he was a crewmember, which he wasnt.
