In 135 and 121 operations, Opspecs rule, as they are approved by the FAA. Opspecs are controlling for issues such as allowing for SIC to log time. That is irrespective of whether or not the aircraft is certified for one or two pilots. Their Opspecs also allow single pilot with an operable autopilot.
BTQ has, apparently, reacted to their turnover by increasing the pain for FOs to leave early, hence the reported higher and longer contract amount. The PIC contract (12 months) prorates after 6 months. I would assume the FO contract prorates similarly.

GOMs may say that, but not Opspecs.

What’s sad is how instead of focusing on making their shop a great place one wouldn’t want to leave, or incentivizing some to at least extend their stays, companies repeatedly address turnover punitively, reaching for the stick. It doesn’t work...when will they learn?

Great comments. Boutique is not a bad place overall; however, they certainly don’t provide any incentive to stay. Very few people complete their contract and everyone I talk to is looking for their next job. Pretty sad that they aren’t motivated to retain the many that would stick around! Management is ineffective to say the least.
