Not sure that I fully understand the question but... For each CJ2+ delivery, a PC12 leaves the property. The timeline is generally 1 replacement every few months. Hard to say on when the final fractional PC12 will depart but probably in the 20 to 30 months timeframe. CJ2+ aircraft don't really have a home but pilots will be based in YYC/YYZ/YUL/KSDL.

Sorry, I do see the confusion, are the PC-12's going back to Pilatus or are they being sold off individually? Any life left in them for passenger travel or are they looking at a future in the cargo world?

I'd rather not get into their future on an anonymous forum but they do have lots of passenger travel left in them.
Timeline is taking shape for the next CJ2+ delivery and it looks like we will have a few external spots to fill. As before, the majority of the positions on the new aircraft will be filled internally, however, we will be looking at resumes for the following positions:
Jet Captain
Jet First Officer
PC12 Captain
PC12 First Officer
Flight Department Clerk (entry level low time pilot position -YYC)
Bases to be determined but likely positions both East and West (YYZ/YUL/YYC).
I have a question regarding mini requirement for FO on PC-12,
according to the web site, it said 1000 hrs mini. and here said 1500 hrs.
how would you guys rate if a pilot has 1100 hrs ?
thanks, Airsprint HR, i am seriously interested in the position. I got email last year saying the positions have been filled and would like to try again this year

thanks and regards for reply
We are ideally looking for a little more experience but I would recommend that you apply if interested as we look at all those who show interest.

AirSprint has a Performance Agreement for Initial Simulator training. The agreement is prorated over 24 months and is for $36,000 for the jet positions and $12,000 for PC12 Captains. Basically, the pilot agrees to stay with AirSprint for 24 months following the simulator training. If the pilot departs, the remaining amount is to be paid to the company by the pilot. No money up front/loans etc required. If the pilot already has a type rating (rare in our case), no Performance Agreement is required.

AirSprint has managed a Lear 40 for the last 6+ years and we may have a First Officer spot available in Calgary. We have been trying to fill the spot internally but initial simulator course availability seems to be hard to find right now. As such, we are considering hiring a Lear 45 type rated pilot. Our preference is still to fill this position internally, however, if the right individual applies and we don't have much luck in the near future with obtaining a course, we would likely fill the position externally.

All of our PC12 pilots will be transitioning to one of the jet types and we are currently upgrading PC12 Captains to CJ2+ Captains and First Officers as well as XLS First Officers. We don't place much importance on twin time and it does not play into our decision regarding upgrades. We find that the PC12 is an excellent transition aircraft going to the Citations.
