The pay is pretty good, with a very nice looking pay scale, especially once uprade to captain and also once onto the Hawker 800XP. Also are supposed to be taking order of Hawker 4000s in the near future.

Just curious about what you all think about having to pay for your own type up front and also for those who know the Beechjet well, what do you think about it? Easy to fly? Hard jet to learn? This would be my real first jet experience.

Thanks in advance...

The type costs more than $10k and the Beechjet is a difficult airplane to fly initially. Many of the systems/switchology/concepts are foreign to those of us flying more modern aircraft. But it is a lot of fun to fly too. I would advocate to negotiate the company pay for the training and you sign a contact for x months as a repayment for their good faith.
