If pay is not important, you have Souther Airways Express. They also fly Caravan, many diferent bases, and just 1-year contract....

I don't know if culture is better, but pay is way too low $12/block hour, no CASS, no health insurance.....
My CPL checkride is next week, my stuff is already packed haha. Whoever hires me....1 year contract better than 2, CASS better than no CASS, etc.....
What other options do you have in mind SierraGolf?

I hear WEBBER on the radio all the time, how are you guys?
Do you all have an open jumpseat policy?
I'm an alpa regional guy, cass, all that stuff.
How full and reliable are your DEC-STL flights? Bad in the winter?

I'd call the station ahead of time and they can help give you flight loads, 217-423-7026. You shouldn't have an issue between the two flights each day unless one is canceled. Even if booked full, we have a high no show rate as the passenger is barely paying anything for these flights (courtesy of the EAS program). Reliability is hit or miss, the last few weeks of this winter have been a challenge due to freezing rain, low vis and such.

I've been thinking about applying at Air Choice after I clear 300 hrs , renew my IFR ticket, and get my commercial single. Do they typically hire at their mins of 300 hours, or should I wait and get more hours and some other ratings?
