Skytrans expanding?
When I inquired previously everyone included, Super they cant touch for 35 years, meal allowances, overnight allowances and it was still low numbers. Make sure you clarify any number that gets spat out to you.

Skytrans have made the decision to make all engineers redundant and use Hawkers for their maintenance.

Skytrans have progressed a few pilots off the C208 onto the Dash over the last two years.
As far as their AOC, yes, the Dash 8-100 is classified as a Low Cap aircraft due to seating 36, however Skytrans hold a High Cap AOC as they operated -300's in the past and I believe they intend to again.
WRT salary: (to the best of my knowledge) : Capt - $105K, F/O $75k (or thereabouts). Overnights are very rare. No EBA but everyone gets offered the same contract and I don't think there's much room for negotiation.
It's not a bad gig if you want to be home nights and have 99.9% of all weekends off. The flying is pretty good, if not repetitive and the crew are a really good bunch to work with.
