Deer Air Update

If you go through Brookfield, they "change" the terms halfway through to 5 days off a month, and 1 ticket per year, 30 days off per year, NO ROTATION. They then turn around and advertise to our fellow pilots out there the 9weeks/4week schedule, I can only assume, to "reel in" new pilot pool in which to choose from..(then 'announce' later to those pilots, that capital has changed their terms, etc. etc.)

If you don't have the type rating, the pay is fair (as advertise, but no per diem), but if you have the type, it's lower then industry standards.

Medical and ATPL test are the most difficult hurdles.

PM me if you have further questions. I am awaiting results from my screening, passed the ATPL barely (and I studied for at least a month).

If i get hired, I will repost here and it's in your interest to not have a broker (I am speaking only about the BIZJET side of Deer Air/Capital Airlines, NOT the commercial Airbus side), but to be referred by pilots from within...so I can connect you directly. Stay tuned.
