there are alot of pilots who hire on and don't consider leaving.
good schedule, decent pay, and home with your family every night.
The flying is awsome and you see some neat things.
I would recommend them for a career especially if you like the outdoors and hunting or fishing

As for pay, there is no union, and no contract. Pay is close to some of the better regionals, but nothing is published. I have a friend who started at ERA about the time I started Penair. I made slightly better $, but it seems quite certain he will be getting twin turbine PIC long before I do. The choice is yours. I wonder how many people on this forum know what a "sled" is

That is a pretty good guess. From what I hear, it got that name because the 207 will carry almost exactly the same amount as a dogsled with a good team of dogs. I have never been able to verify that because the new dogsled is a 4-wheeler/snowmachine.

Now that ERA has filed chapter 11 the talk is that PenAir is getting 3 more SAAB's in aticipation of picking up the ERA routes
that will bring them up to 10 SAAB's
for that they will need to have a new hire class and looking at 9-10 more pilots
Good luck to ERA guys
