Fractionals To Start Hiring More Pilots

Fractional ownerships, that is companies that get tax preference for purchasing a portion of flight time in a business jet is growing fast. Companies are buying GulfStreams, Challengers, Cessnas, and others as airlines fall to government intervention.

Business has to keep rolling even in this economy. But, the Federal Government has levied fines against the airlines of thousands of dollars per passenger when they are stuck on the tarmac for over three hours. So, what is the airlines solution? Massive cancellations that's what.

We watched the first salvo this winter when the northeast got clobbered with snow. But, instead of trudging along trying to get as many aircraft, crews and passengers to their destinations the entire flight schedule was canceled in many cases. People were left stranded in airports for days, literally.

So, pilots are going to be needed to fill this market for sure adding to the decline of qualified pilots in the first place. If you are looking to get into aviation, this is a place to start

Republic Said To Hire 100 Pilots in 2011

Republic, a commuter that flies for or under the United Banner has released a statement that they will be adding 100 pilots this year. The major legacy airlines are earning money for a change and the leaner airlines future seems brighter.

From some insiders, I know that the majors generally like to hire from the ranks of the regional carriers. The regionals are now going to require more hours which will make that market more competitive for sure. See below.
.
Required Education, Experience and Qualifications for EMB & ERJ Series:
  • 2,000 hours Total Time (fixed wing)
  • 500 MEL
  • 100 Hours Instrument
  • ATP Certificate
  • 1st class Medical
