I don’t know what your experience was but I will tell you mine.
-Yes they are looking for pilots. They NEED them bad!
-1 ATR72 and 1 310 on property
-The pay...what a f..ing joke. I went there for an ATR job, and was offered 3250USD a month (ATR FO) w so called free housing, which happens to be some 3 star dump hotel located not far from the airport
-I told them there is no way I am moving from paradise to work in DAC for the amount they offering
-When I was leaving, I ran into CA who landed that day, went straight to the office and quit!
-The way they figure out the pay is 60% of the CAs pay
CA-310=7000 MD=6000 ATR=5000
-Most trips are out and back, 50/night per diem if happen to lay over
-They brought in mechanics from Indonesia and one guy from Germany. So that was nice
The place is making money. And they seem to be doing better than GMG. The CA I spoke with said he always got paid...not the same can be said for GMG
I took the CAAB exam...that was a joke
I had to pay for my own ticket up there....but they paid me back in cash 2 days later
The place was extremely disorganized lacked sense of efficiently!
Told me to expect about 80-90 hrs of flight on the ATR
Here is the thing they need to realize...IF they want to attract qualified pilots they need to open up their wallets
Good luck to anyone who wishes to join!
