Hello all,
New to the forum. Just wanted to see if anyone had some advice. Currently have a start date at Skywest second week of October. Also, received a job offer flying Hawker 800s for a reputable charter company. This will be my first jet job, and am torn between the two. I’m not sure what style of flying I like more and that’s why this decision is so tough. Does anyone have any experience going from regional to charter or vice versa if they don’t like the style of flying they are doing? If I don’t like charter, would I be starting where I am now going to a regional or does that experience help in upgrading sooner if I do go back to a regional? Any advice is appreciated. Regional to charter is easy… Charter to regional is a little more difficult just bc of the time / hoops involved. I’d start at Skywest first, seniority is everything. |
Which pays more?
which has the best career implications? Which has the better qol? Are you conflicted because you want to do (experience) one but the answer to the three questions is the other? (Rhetorical questions to be answered introspectively. ) |

(Rhetorical questions to be answered introspectively. ) -Charter pays more, starting salary of 75K, but really sure what you actually receive with Skywest -not sure on career implications because I’m not sure if the airlines or charter best suited me because I’ve never done either. - qol seems about the same, gone for a bit than back home. Would be living at base at either company - yes, charter pays more I think and would allow me to save more money/ but am intrigued by the type of flying they do. But always wanted to go airlines until I met a bunch of charter guys in the last year. Just not sure how far it would set me back airline wise if I don’t like it. Just didn’t think I would get this opportunity with this company so never had to really think about it until now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

All depends on the 135 and if work rules are more important than money in the short term. Long term, a major is going to be way better than most 135 gigs. |

Just want it confirm minimum time is 975 at class time for rATP? And if I have all digital since the start of my CFI days do I just print that out and bring my old logbooks to see the signatures is that ok?
