Default Corporate Air (Fedex feeder) info?

Hey everyone

Anybody know any pilots at Corporate Air? I'm interested in their CPR base as a potential way to spend some more nights at home. On the website it appears there aren't any openings there but I know things can change faster than the internet can show. I tried to get in touch with them via email but no luck. Short of knocking on the hangar door I'm not sure what else to do. Info on here is all pretty outdated.

Thanks in advance

Why would you be interested in doing this type of flying?

Because they live in Wyoming.

Yeah pretty much. TPIC is becoming more sought after as hiring constricts too. With a new wife and potentially starting a family, being home every night for a time could be worth doing some difficult flying depending on the overall picture. Just trying to flesh out that picture is all. Thanks for the input.

They have a base out here in Honolulu. Not sure how often they update their page so it wouldn’t hurt to give them a call. From my understanding, the schedule is you depart just after sunrise and return after the dinner hour. You spend all day in the out station. That is usually 4 or 5 days a week. Then you get very 8th week off or so. Off weekends too. Best of luck.

Turbine PIC in a 208 dosen't hold that much weight. At least for the legacies it wont. might help for LLC or regionals. I have around 400 hours in the 208. It's a fun airplane to fly.

True, but the job only needs a second class and there seem to be a lot of lifers at that particular company. Maybe for some reasons.
