Re: Pacific Coastal

This is definitely a lifestyle job on the Saab and a great time builder on the 1900. You can't stay for one year to reap the benefits of not only paying off your bond but be a near shoe in at AC or WS or Porter with some good time on your resume from a reputable 705/704? The requirements to get on a...

Re: Newbie Pilot just received upfront training bond offer

DO NOT DO IT! You are giving soo much power to the employer its absurd. They can literally do whatever they want. You think you will get a reference? Are you sure? The job means NOTHING without a reference. Great way to exert pressure on a young pilot to fly when it may not be the best idea. What if...

Re: Morningstar 757 schedule/flying

I would argue that the CBA in effect at MAL is better than most others in the industry aside from AC and maybe Sunwing which has some really neat perks. $4.25/hr per diem. $150 a month tax free uniform allowance. $40 a month tax free cell phone allowance. $1000 a year hsa. $500 a year health allowan...

Re: Morningstar 757 schedule/flying

What about 2300 tt without turbine time? Info from morningstar employees is appreciated. Going from piston poppers to B757 is a big jump. You get about 80 hours in the sim, but a lot of that time will be wasted on learning how to fly fast and high and then slow down for approaches. Then you have th...

Re: Training bond and fail PPC

There is no other option than to run. It’s predatory. Depending on the company one of two things can happen. A) they have some humanity forgive the bond and let you carry on, or more likely 2) He gets sued and dragged into interlocutory proceeding costing thousands in protracted litigation. His bes...

Carson WILL come for you if you break the terms of your bond. This is a proven fact. Even if they know they will lose in court they will take it that far.

I have a friend who went directly from right seat on a PC12 to right seat on an Embraer 170 to left seat on the Embraer 170 to Right seat on an Embraer 190 to left seat on an Embraer 190. He had literally 25 hours of multi time and moved to the right seat of the E170 in 2013. In fact I know several ...

Re: Corporate vs Airlines

Where you are right now I would gun for the airlines. The market has changed a lot since I was growing up as a pilot, when multi pic was king. If you enter the airline system at this early stage you will do very well long term. That experience will open up higher end corporate gigs if you choose. Co...

I used the 6 on 6 off to get into crazy good shape. Also did lots of fishing to relax.

Re: Skynorth BE20 ads

Weekly ads lately posted by skynorth. If that salary was true a company wouldn't keep posting. But who wants to go there as skynorth is not going to be getting the new medevac contract. Skynorth is bye bye, just a matter of time. What makes you so sure? Last I heard is they had the points for being...

Re: Skynorth BE20 ads

Great management group? That's funny, when I worked for them they ran a 100% illegal schedule and ripped through 12 captains in one year as a result. Dirty, run down crew houses. Forced bathroom cleaning time, even if you hadn't been up to the house in a month. "You are a team player. Riiiight?" Wor...
