Sounds like a great deal if you are single... Nice mix of flying. Where do the Miami-based aircraft fly during those six months? Are there accomodations included for Brit pilots?

No accommodations but you get a housing subsidy. We go world wide a lot of military charter and sports teams / musicians. You can’t beat the flying usually 2 to 3 day layovers I have been flying about 40hrs a month. Summers with Excel are a lot of work, out and backs 90 to 100hrs a month but the people there are grate.

I would refer the time over in Europe as a change in life style rather than a vacation. There is a definite learning curve and extra disciplines which have to be adopted by pilots flying in Europe too, which by no means is a bad thing. It does take a while to settle in… but without question it’s a great experience having the opportunity to meet and fly with new aviators.

First of all, its a poster's opinion to which you choose to agree with. Others have the right to their's too. Many posters on this thread seem to disagree, which of course is there right to do, about the shotage of '146 guys. If the Mesaba pilots choose to come over... fine. If not then Cityjet will have to pony up the Euros to train non current pilots. Simple as that.

I used to work for Miami Air in a former life. As far as charter airlines go they are probably the most reputable company of this genre to fly for.

Mx is very good since a flight mechanic accompanies the aircraft during certain operations.

The lay over hotels well above averag. You will gain weight from the over abundance of crew meals.

Per diem could be better, especially on international lay overs.

New hires will be in the right seat for a pretty long period since captains stay with the company unless a better opportunity awaits elsewhere... and with the market as it is in the US that's not going to change.

Pay is also a bit on the thin side as well.

But overall, I would recommend the company to a budding airman, rather than a 10,000 pilot, that is if money is primary.

groan said: "What are they supposed to do? ''

I think that they have to do like the other when there is a lack of pilots, they have to pay the type ratings to the entering pilots.......

Sure it is a deal, it is like "ok we pay you the TR but you have to stay with us 2 or 3 years minimum".......
