Squeeze every drop out of you. Part 135 charter, must fly to make money, runs lean. - They never have enough pilots and require long days. - Many 12-14 Hr days, with short (10-12 hr) turns. Schedule could be better. (Summer: 6-on/4-off; Winter: 7-on/7-off) - Most competing companies offer 7/7 all year Asked to come in for OT frequently, day rate changes unannounced (betw $1000-$1500/day) Salaried, busy summers, pay feels insufficient for hours working. 401K requires 1 year before allowed to contribute. Medical is relatively expensive and coverage not the best. Upper Management thinks they know it all. Unwilling to listen to suggestions, or adapt to changing times. - they would rather good pilots/employees leave, then make relevant and meaningful changes to keep employees happy and stay competitive.

For part 135 operations best pay in the area. 7 days on and 7 days off in the winter. Plenty of summer overtime opportunities.

6 days on 4 days off in the summer.
