In talking with the people involved with recruiting and the new hires, I have heard 30+ more pilots to be hired for the year. With over 1500 resumes, they say it is part luck to get selected for the review, but after that it is all about your resume/cover letter presentation. If your resume is reviewed you either get an email rejection or a phone call. After the phone call it is either an email rejection or you may get an offer to come to Florida. The interview day is spent learning more about Avantair and answering questions. After the interview you get a phone call with either a training class date or the thank you for attending but… discussion.
The new hires have said that it is a relaxing interview, but that not everyone made it through with a training offer. They said they are not trying to hire astronauts, rocket scientists, sky gods or prima donnas. They are looking for experienced pilots with quality PIC time that understand that fractional aviation is a demanding high end service industry. People skills are an absolute must. The flying backround of those hired seem to vary. "Fractional isn’t for everyone" is a theme that is repeated through out the interview process. If consistent routine, scheduled flying, and easy days are among your requirements for a flight job, run away from fractional as quickly as you can!!!
