They were quick to put them into use which was nice.
I know they are stepping down the roll of the King Airs in stages as the aircraft roll in. 8 in total on order. I do believe they have two right now and are expecting 1 a month going into the summer. Rumor has it all PC-12NG fleet by December.
Anyone have any pictures yet? I think a PC12 in Thunder Colors would look very sharp!

No. They leased 3 I believe a while back to see what it was like. The lease term expired. Pilots & Management were happy. They ordered these brand new. Most likely ordered them a while ago and are just now putting them into service.

I hear they're looking for 1500 hours, 500 pic. $10,000 prorated promissory note, pay starts at $35/hr for FOs, $55/hr for Captains, $2/hr per diems, 2:1 duty rig, 65 hr/month guarantee, 10 GDOs usually in 5 day blocks
They just bought all of Bravo's and Ornge's PC12's since Ornge just declared bankruptcy this morning. Going to a full PC12 fleet, but single pilot so lots of layoffs. Medics will double as catering.
All the MU2's were just sold to the Manitoba Ministry for low level moose counts and smoke jumpers. Talk of putting a few on Wipaire amphibs for bombing.

LOL... Mass exodus from Air Bravo! Thats hilarious... There are no masses employed there for an exodus! Operating a whole two aircraft from two locations, there only client is Ornge. I'm sure Ornge would drop them too if they knew all the corners they cut. You can't count the number of people that outfit has screwed, the labour board has a fifteen year history with the company, the investigators will openly laugh when talking to them about your claim. They know the principle by name and his history of ignoring federal labour laws, well known internally for simply ignoring any and all correspondence received, including federal judgements and demand for payment. Have to ask yourself if they blatantly ignore federal labour laws what other federal laws do they ignore?

Why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel about them!
Did that come across as a feeling? I'll have to work on my writing skills. Consider it an advisory, the smart money is on an application with Thunder or anybody else for that matter. You're playing craps with loaded dice if you opt to apply for a position with the other guy, the last sentence in my previous post should cause anybody with an once of common sense to pause and recognize the road they will ultimately end up going down. At some point you will be expected to compromise yourself or kiss your bond and any wages owed goodbye! The wages, you will eventually get but expect that process to take 6 to 8 months. The labour board eventually issues the judgement and payment order to one of his customers and they take yours off the top, before they can pay him. Although the list of possibilities for the labour board to draw from is very small these days.
