Paul Montalbano

Part 121 mostly domestic, some Mexico flying. Was displaced out of their DEN base shortly after completing training, now commute to KIAD. Been on reserve nearly most of my almost two years, quality of life is poor, and would love to get back to Part 91/135 flying.

Flew a lot of single pilot, passenger operations into mountainous terrain airports surrounding Colorado. Broke 4 ribs doing a walk around on black ice on the tarmac. Never returned back to flying for Boutique after the incident.

Part 91/135 Domestic flying. Great company, good quality of life, short lived due to owner selling aircraft. JetLinx paid me for 3 additional months hoping to bring on another aircraft into the Colorado market, but could not. Had to leave for continued employment.

After taking a few years off from flying, Envoy hired me as a direct entry captain. They were extremely short on captains at the time, and believe filling seats was more of a priority than the training they were providing. As a pilot that puts SAFETY first, and knowing I’d been out of the flight deck for some time, learning and knowing everything I needed to regarding a new aircraft that I’ve never flown before, should be the priority. I resigned immediately after a failed LOFT. Maneuvers Passed

6 years as SIC, Reserve for entire employment, displaced 5 times, furloughed once for almost a year.
