I am in a position where I have received offers from Boutique (as a PIC), Tradewind (FO initially and upgrade within a few months), and ExpressJet (FO). Each has their pro's and con's and I am really struggling with which to go with. I don't currently live at ANY base for any of them. I would either be commuting (that's the plan initially) or perhaps even moving but I really don't want to move. Any comments or suggestions and words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Is BTQ having pay issues? I just spoke with a friend who works there and this person said twice in the past month or two they had paychecks delayed?
An email was supposedly sent out saying something like ADP wouldn't process payments so they were looking at using Venmo but couldn't because of a 2K limit per day??? Paychecks ended up being 5 days late?
Any true to this?

I heard the same from a current pilot. It also happened twice this year while I was with the company. That makes FOUR times this year that Boutique missed payroll.

Where do you live? I would speak with the companies and see what bases are available. Tradewind has the Bahamas BUT, you’ll probably get stuck in the northeast. Consider the type of weather you’ll encounter. Boutique has CASS and KCM, and depending on where you live and how far to drive to a major airport makes a difference. How many flights per day(chances)would they have for you to make it to work on time? Just narrow down what’s important to you, and take advice as a recommendation, but only you can make the decision
I was also just scheduled for an interview with Planesense so that is another potential. It may be the better option because they have reporting bases all over the place, unfortunately I am just outside the range of 2 of them. I have heard they could create a reporting base though. I only do take advice as a recommendation. I value the feedback from those with first hand experience at any of them.

I live in Southern Virginia... The land of no local commercial flying jobs. I could commute out of Raleigh, NC or Greensboro, NC.
