Nothing like going in and absolutely killing the chart case a smaller FBO.

if they even had what we needed...

Air Chart atlas'. He'd save a bunch of money using those. You buy it once and they update the charts with paper updates that you carry with you.

Do you get any sort of vacation time while working? Air America did 2 one week vacations and they flew you on their dime to anywhere in the lower 48 and gave you $500 for the week. Now I doubt every company does that, but some sort of time off would be nice.

Nope, no time off. I got three days off for Christmas, but I heard that that was the one and only year (2007) that he did that. You'll have plenty of unscheduled days off though, due to weather.

Wow that kinda sucks.

For me, the pay made it worth it. After the season I was able to pay off my pickup, and had plenty of money left over to last me all summer without having to work a day.

Then I ran out of money, but that's another story!

But really, the pay definitely eases the pain.

Anyone know if these guys are still hiring for this season? Just sent in a copy of my resume a few days ago, and haven't heard anything.


Thanks

It might be a bit late. I have been going through the process for about 3 weeks now.

+1 on the money thing. I was able to save 11k while still having to pay rent back home and bills. Paid for my multi rating and I'm just about out of money now. Season ended in May.

Only time off is weather, being sick, or being "sick."

I think I saw a post on 350 not too long ago so there might still be time but it's getting close. I know he's hired at least a couple of people. Good news is that I think he has to replace nearly all his pilots from last season. Most found other jobs or are not coming back. I'd say at least 6 slots out of 11.
