Does anybody have information about hiring minimums for Capt and F.O/pay/schedule with Flightexec particularily on the Kingair. How much flying does it do, and whether it is based out of london, buttonville, or both?

King Airs are good airplanes. I have an interest in this job.

You obviusly did not fully read my posts in the Jazz section.

I said I'd go to Jazz, but only if they'd put me directly into the CRJ. Because career progression takes longer at Jazz, something like JET time will help me in my career. Because if the upgrade takes as long as you said it will, I might just blast off to Cathay, Eva, or one of the Gulf carriers to fly their widebodies.

I'd fly FlightExec's King Airs. King Air 90s and 200s are good airplanes. I have loads of friends in Toronto area. I'm from the Maritimes, all my high school class is there. So life would be good, and the upgrade would be much quicker than at Jazz.

You really need to let go of this sense of entitlement you're clinging on to. As you may or may not know, Jazz operates jets AND props, other companies have just jets. Easy choice for you! You're more than likely gonna end up on a Dash 8 at Jazz (AND it's a great gig, if one intends to make Jazz a career choice).

You've read here numerous times about how long an upgrade can take here at Jazz.

P.S. How are things are PE Air? And you never answered a previously asked question, how much time have you put into props? And, if you really are that old, don't worry about getting an upgrade at Jazz during your time here.

If you get an interview with Jazz be sure to tell them that you will only fly the RJ because you want the jet time to get a better job on a wide body. They're sure to love that. :lol:

I'll let the Captain's Upgrade Review Board be the final judge of all that. If hired at Jazz, I'll put in my upgrade bid after a year of flying the line, and let the chips fall as they may. Why does it take forevur to upgrade ther? Are thar people Jazz hires low on experiuncce? Is hiring people straight out of flight colledge watering down your pilot groop. Something doesn't add up when I can go almost anywhere and upgrad on the Dash in six months or a year, but you tell me Jazz takes six plus years. And that is why I'm certain candidates with solid MPIC and IFR procedural skills an decision making abilitie such as myself will be welcome at Jazz, because we have that ability to hanndlle and upgrade or at the yeast adjust to congested IFR airspace quite well..

If they award me an Accelerated Command Captaincy on the Dash, I'll go there. It depends on how the Captains Review Board judges my upgrade bid.

COMET, look at what you are doing...not only is your sense of entitlement clouding your visions of reality, but now you have others believing that seniority in an airline environment means nothing. Please stop the delusional insanity.

Ps. Do you have a seneca jacket?

I kinda thought it might be BS. JAZZ doesn't take anyone from flight school so I'm going to look at CFC.

Thanks guys you saved me lots of money
