I'm at 135 minimums and looking for 15/13, 8/6 and etc gigs within lower 48 with 6+ days off in the row... So far I see only TMC + Alaska operators...
Any advise?
 
You may get luck but I think by just meeting 135 minimums you'll have a hard time trying to get on with one of the jet operators (TMC, JetSuite, WheelsUp) because of passenger insurance requirements. ARG/US Wyvern requirements.

Shoot for a freight jobs.

Yeah, this is what I see... Unfortunatly all pt 135 freight feeders and etc, including Ameriflight - have 5/2 schedule... Pax pt 135 is more like 2000TT+200ME to start...
 
Kalitta charters is a 14/7 and are in the process of working out a 14/14, but they've been saying this for 2 years so take it FWIW.

I don't work there anymore but they actually did get the 14/14 schedule for FOs going based on a bid system, but captains still don't have it, but they also got a huge payraise and sign on/retention bonuses for both capts and FOs. If you work 14/7 schedule they lower your hourly guarantee so you break it faster I hear, but of course they changed it the day after I put in my two weeks. Kalitta would hire you under 1500TT but I think maybe it's better to go to a regional now unless you hate that life. Hope you're well Erik :)

Doing well, thanks! Everything I've heard has been through the grape vine and I'm sure a few of those grapes have already fermented.
 
I'm at Reva doing air ambulance in the Lear 35. With a little seniority you can bid all your 8 days off for the month in a row. The rest of the time you'd be on call, but out of 22 days, you'd work about half those typically.

Spent some time at Reva, not a bad place to be. It does take a special person IMO to be ok with getting pulled out of bed at midnight to go to Columbia though.
 
Delta Private Jets. I've been working here a couple months and it's a pretty good gig. Feel free to PM me and I can answer any questions.

You might be able to work out a home based position with ameriflight.

Pretty unlikely at 135 mins from what I understand, but at current staffing levels, it might be something they're open to...There have been a few of them during my time here and most are never home and hate their lives even more than those of us who live in base, but if you don't mind being on the road for 3 weeks at a time then it could be ok I guess.
