If you're planning on the Florida bases you might want to review the history of those bases during the last slow down, they disappeared.Yes in 2008/2009 we closed down the only Florida base in FXE. We had maybe 8 or so pilots that were allowed to move to other bases if they wanted. Crummy situation for those guys/gals for sure. Management made a business decision that a FL base wasn't working at the time.
Finally remember flying a single engine turboprop is career suicide unless you already have lots of experience. Get your time and get out. If you stick around too long no one will ever hire you. There are lots of guys there that have been trying to get out for years but they can't afford the pay cut.You definitely like the extreme exaggerations don't you? "Career suicide","no one will ever hire you":What happened to you man? Did the company not upgrade you fast enough due to your merit? Was flying a PC12 career suicide for you? I know dozens of other people flying every size aircraft imaginable that somehow managed to avoid "career suicide" with all of their PC12 time. You claim so many things to be fact that are just completely wrong. You have 8 posts on this website and every single one is either complaining about the company like a whiny toddler, or somewhat gleefully posting about a very serious accident. And no I'm not a cool aid drinker that thinks this company is perfect, far from it. I think the company could improve in many areas and many people have pointed those out in earlier posts in this thread. But dang man, you just come off as somebody with a grudge. Maybe you should tell everybody your first hand account of your experience with the company and how you feel they wronged YOU. I'm very intrigued to find out where all this animosity comes from. Enlighten us, please.
Good Luck

Keep in mind that it's very common to start at 4am on day 1 and finish up around midnight on day 8. It really is NOT very common. Yes it's possible due to how our duty is set up, but calling it very common would be an exaggeration.Eight days is way too long to keep a crew on the road. 8 days does get old after awhileUpgrades are "merit" which means never complain about anything, ever.Sounds like somebody got passed over for upgrade? Where do you come up with this stuff? Seriously. I have complained about handfuls of things over the years, including directly to the CP and DO. Maybe I just know how to bring up issues like a professional and not come off as a whiny little pilot.If you're planning on the Florida bases you might want to review the history of those bases during the last slow down, they disappeared.Yes in 2008/2009 we closed down the only Florida base in FXE.
