While I haven't done a time shift on a ticket home, they go out of their way to work with you. I have started and finish in different places to empty out a storage unit, meet my family in MCO to go to Universal, etc. I would be surprised if they said no..

What's the secret for getting a call back? Applied a couple of times, was rejected pretty quick. Unfortunately, don't have a reference. Do have an unrestricted ATP 8750PIC and a CE500 type. Maybe age?
Also, I took a look at the profile page and didn't see a PayScale, although it looks like it was updated recently.
Appreciate any info..

Yes the company handles travel arrangements. In my experience they are quite flexible on things like this. You can be flown some other location instead of home, within reason. Going home a couple days later likely wouldn’t be an issue and honestly may save the company a few bucks by not booking same day travel. Hope this helps! We have some very friendly, yet incredible busy folks in this department. No easy task juggling people around several times a week for a growing pilot group.

There is not a secret to getting a call back. I have no idea why with that time you wouldn't get called back. I know its not age. There were several retired airline pilots in my indoc class. They don't like DWIs, accidents and frequent job hoping. The only thing I can think of is there is a list most companies have of pilots that have grabbed a "Free" type and then bolted. Most companies will not hire pilots on that list.

Appreciate the info. Definitely don't fit into any of those categories. Maybe, just not to be.

Safe flights..

Hey Fusion,

I PM'd you.. Give me a call and maybe I can help.

Thanks

Will do. Thank you!

23 planes in the air right now. Not too shabby for the "other" small 135.
Curious what times for upgrade are looking like.

depends… currently re-arranging prerequisites for captain eligibility, so take this with a grain of salt. Typically you need a few recommendations from current captains, then you can be “left seat authorized” if you meet TT and time in type requirements you can upgrade. Aside from having a firm grasp on general captain responsibilities you need to know the company procedures and paperwork responsibilities fairly well. I’ve seen anywhere from direct entry(with time in type and similar 135 experience) to 6-18 months. Likely one of the quicker upgrades you’ll find. B727 correct me if I’m wrong.

Thanks Joe..
