I interviewed with Talon a few weeks ago for a home based HS-125 position. They told me they were under new management, and Apollo Jets has now invested in the operation. They are now home basing on an 8/6 schedule, 12-month initial contract and starting SIC pay was about 75K.

I spoke with them less than a month ago. 12 / 6 was the schedule they offered and they were pretty firm.

12/6 is not competitive in this market. 8/6 or 7/7 seem to be standard for the better operators....

Agreed. However, they are finding people. I told them I'd do it for significantly more money. Apparently, they weren't willing to negotiate.

There will always be morons and those with DUIs to fill the gaps.

Consider it a blessing in disguise.

Apparently all of their positions are home based these days. Only the Hawker 800 fleet has the 8/6 schedule, though. They discussed the Hawker 4000 as an option too, but that was a 20/10.

Any updates with these guys? I got a call the other day from them 12 on 6 off (not the best schedule), Hawker 4000 SIC with upgrade in 6 months (I'm over 5500 TT).

They have to go to 8/7 or similar to keep the guys.
