There was no mention of wages in this ad...As it is always a a good idea to clarify wages and expectations before accepting a job, and some pilots accept the job and then ask what it pays, I thought I would share a bit of wisdon

Companies that are hiring more frequently than their fleet size would suggest are particularily ones to focus on the details before accepting a position.

Now, when you get offered a job as a pilot, sometimes the wages will be disussed like this.....
You work Monday to Friday, and on call for the weekend... You only work three weeks a month, even less, because sometimes the owner just likes to fly.. You will make about $1500 a week for example. However the salary is based on mileage only.....Wow....15 days flying... 6 days standby.. $6000 a month.....

So lets see how to translate it from Weasalspeak when companies explain salary like this.

1.To make the $1500 a week you will need to fly Mon-FRiday, and actually fly on the weekends.. As you will only work three weeks a month, and the owner will take any of the really long and juicy weekend charters, you will take the short haul, long load and unload flights. You will actually earn less than $4000 a month... And will work 21 days a month to earn it....

Companies do exist out there that do this type of thing...They usually burn a couple of pilots a year (sometimes the bigger ones manage 20 or 30 pilots a year)......Be careful to do the math when discussng wages and not just assume anything...

Best of luck to all looking for work.

Ya, this really sounds completely at random, considering the job ad didn't mention pay structure at all.
Grind the axe elsewhere and with someone who cares.

No axe grinding.. I have never worked for this company, and know nothing about them. You made a bad assumption and conclusion. It was just general practical advice...Perhaps I will change the thread title.. Would that make you appreciate the information more?

Lots of new pilots out there who jump at a job without really thinking.. A week or so ago there was a thread where a pilot who had accepted a job with a company was asking about how their pay worked....Once pilots get the job, they start thinking about thngs like actually getting paid.. I was really hoping to get them to think about it before they jump into a new job....and when pay is not mentioned, as it was not in this ad, it is always a good idea to clarify it before accepting a position.

Fair enough. My mistake and my apologies.
Though I do think that it is unfair to pick a company to name in this circumstance as it really casts a negative light on them.
