Job Details
Approximately 300-350 hours per year
You may fly on your days off for extra pay, but it is not required.
Compensation
PIC - $160,000 base salary, with the option to earn up to $220,000 and higher by working on off days.
International Jet will provide an iPad, software, a company credit card, and KCM. Charter uniforms are provided, and business casual is expected for Part 91 trips. Per diem is paid for all trips, and expenses, including hotels and ground transportation, are reimbursed within two weeks. We book our own travel and do not stay in questionable hotels. Our comprehensive benefits package includes health, dental, and vision insurance; a 401(k) plan with a 5% company match; paid time off; and life and short-term disability insurance.
Schedule
We typically schedule a 10-day-on, 5-day-off rotation and occasionally make minor adjustments to accommodate charter and owner demand. If available, pilots may work on their days off for bonus pay, but they are never required to do so.
We don't compete with the fractionals on pay, but we surpass them in quality of life. You rarely fly to or from the aircraft, except on long trips when the aircraft will sit at outstations, and we're not flying charter. Our goal is to accommodate life events and vacations with no questions asked.
“On days” example: 7 am-5 pm on call. Owner trips are almost always known in advance, and very few charters will be same-day pop-ups. During an average 10-day work block, you will rarely work all days. While we don't count the others as days off (they don't reduce your days off), they're your days to do as you wish, as long as you're ready to fly if a call comes in.
Additional Details
Our fleet consists of a single Hawker 800XP with the Honeywell platform, while the remaining aircraft are equipped with the Proline 21. We are hiring for all aircraft, with the Honeywell PIC dedicated to a single aircraft, while the remaining PICs may fly all Proline 21 aircraft.
Our in-house maintenance staff meticulously maintains our aircraft. Heavy maintenance is contracted out to facilities such as Duncan.
International Jet has over 45 years of experience in professionally managing aircraft. It is a family-like operation that prioritizes quality over quantity.
Expect standardization and established procedures in the cockpit and operations, and we're always open to suggestions and improvement. A good candidate will have extensive experience in CRM and SOPs.
