Thunder Ad

[Rowdy]

good on em for actually posting wages and having a proper pay structure.. even if it isnt the millions everyone expects to be making.

It should almost be mandatory for posting an ad on avcan in my opinion, but it seems nobody wants to advertise their ridiculously low wages... so good on thunder for puttin it out there

[B-rad]

Amen to that

[Sneeker]

Sounds pretty good to me. Just wondering how many guys with 2000 hrs and 1000 be10 applyed......

[scopiton]

how many miles a year does an f/o do, average ? just curious

[WetJet]

When I was there I was doing about 7500 every two weeks, but it did vary from 5000-10000 depending on how busy things were. Thunder is one of the best 703 companies you could hope to work for.

It's a nice change somebody who puts it all out there so you know what your in for before you even apply.

Unfortunately, Thunder does not operate any Boeing products so we do need a training agreement

I Love this line

I do disagree with the 24 months, your training only last 12 months. But like I said before, their company their requirements, and if it's a good company you should have no problem fulfilling your obligations.

If you can handle the pager, there are a lot worse places to work. I did 18 months there and the flying was great, the MU-2 was pretty cool, and the coworkers were awesome. The pager, not so much.

[DBC]

The King Air crews are rarely paged out at odd hours as the MU2s are the dedicated medivac machines now. I'm not saying it can't happen, but you can count the times on one hand per year.

I would guess 120k-180k miles a year spread depending on the pilot.

I dont know about Thunder, but some companies have the option for 2 year PPC's.

I would like to thank everyone (100+) who took the time to apply. Please be advised that these positions have been filled.

[BusDriver]

Bobm, thanks for always taking the time to keep candidates in the loop! Many years ago you took the time to answer my phone call and answer my questions. In the end end I didn't take the job at Thunder but I am always appreciative that you took the time and really seemed genuine.

Take care.

[Bede]

Thunder was great to work for. I'd go back in a heart beat if I could have travel passes. Maintenance is second to none. (Except the paints and interior suck, but that's not up to the maintenance dept.)

Holy sweet mother of pearl... A thread about a company that didnt end in negativity and bashing! AWESOME

You guys rock. Apparently thunder does too.

That's because bobm is a class guy. Don't let it go to your head, Bob!

Thunder was by far my best job that I've had, I loved it there.

The 24 months goes by in a breeze due to the way you are treated and quite frankly paid. Co-workers when I was there was awesome, even the 3 am call outs where actually enjoyable because you went to work and knew that a bad day would be a good day due to who you were with.

I all hell broke loose here at Jazz, thunder is on the top of my list for places to knock at.

Cheers,
