Hi all,

would like to get in contact with avanti pilots who are or have presently/recently flown for avantair

-what are conditions like at that company
-hiring minima
-pilot recruitment process etc

thanks a lot

Maintenance less than stellar, stifled upgrade presently, and no improvement over the past few years in pushing pilots and pushing aircraft more than they should. The airplanes do stay busy, however.

Currently don't plan on an upgrade for up to two years. The standard has been one year, but progression has slowed.

Read this: http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/fractional/39708-review-avantair.html

Several times attempts have been made to start unions, and the company (Avantair) invented all sorts of false charges to use as grounds for firing those they suspected of being involved.

The first post of the thread referenced above is quite accurate, despite what many others in the thread later claim.

It's also quite true that management at Avantair reads threads in which their employees post...and punishes the employees accordingly. The thread referenced above mentions another web site, "flightinfo." Avantair fired employees for posting on that site privately.

Good companies have no need of that kind of behavior.

any chance ya'll know where to dwnload flight manuals for avanti II besides smartcockpit.com? I need EP's NP's ad limits.....anyone?
thank you:D
