Baker History (since June 2022)
Tim Livingston, CEO, took over the helm 2 years ago. Journey has been remarkable:
In the first 6 months we had 4 Xs, and were in the red. Lots of turnover in those first 6 months sorting through folks who fit the mindset of the new owner.
We're now a solid home based 135 operator with good checklists, CRM discipline and 40+ pilots who are pulling in the same direction.
Our military Skill Bridge SIC pilots have been awesome. We hire SICs almost exclusively from this pool of applicants. Send 2 a month to initial through end of this year. If eligible to retire in spring/summer of 2025 or later, contact [email protected] after visiting the Skill Bridge website and apply for an opening...planning well ahead is the key.
Several PICs/SICs have gone on to 121 jobs(SWA, AA) and some have gone 91. Our SB pilots are Ex helo and a few fixed wing USA, USN, USAF, USMC. The SB pilots are on a 9/5 schedule for their SB time, afterwards (if all parties agree to a good fit) get normal SIC pay.
Our pilots are averaging 25-45 hrs per rotation (50-90 monthly).
We're flying a 7-8 (last summer 5-6) airplane schedule each week. We have 10 airplanes on the certificate, 9 owned by Tim and 1 managed.
Tail numbers to get an idea of where we fly, 3 letter identifier, KOW733, KOW51, KOW102, KOW 201, KOW992, KOW955, KOW910, KOW4757, KOW818
3 new "RODEO" paint schemes with rest of fleet by end of the year, callsign is RODEO, new interiors also.
Mx is done on the road by either BA mx flown to airports for AOGs or by contracted BA mechanics.
BA is implenting the first of its kind home based MX who will spend a month getting trained in FTW and then will work an 8/6 schedule deploying to OPF/TEB/VNY or wherever broke airplanes are located. Hiring for those positions also.
Crews take 15 pics taken each day of all fluid, accumulator levels, tires, brake pads for DOM to lead turn attention to those areas. We have stockpiled $250K worth of X Michelin nose/main tires so we won't be caught short unlike some other places.
Extra airplanes available for parts but our parts inventory is increasing each time we need one as we order 2 instead of 1.
Our DOM is great at being proactive as are our pilots in reporting issues, small or large, and getting those fixed.
95+% completion rate for trips scheduled and pax delivered to destination.
SIC hiring is only SB pilots at this time, go to the SkillBridge website to learn more or speak to Samantha (see below)
___________
Company credit cards issued to buy airline tickets for our travel to and from the airplanes
Book our own hotels, rental car.
Tim got tired of rental, Uber/Lyft charges in our standard hangouts (PBI, OPF, TEB, VNY), he bought 10 Camry's and has positioned them for dedicated crew cars at the FBO where we fly the most to include MCO for the training folks...he likes to save money.
Company iPad, Foreflight, JetInsight, Genesis are the primary apps. We file our own flight plans, central scheduler process. If you have further questions send me an email at [email protected]
If you want to apply for a fulltime or part-time position, send resume and interest to [email protected]
Baker's not for everyone, we work hard, fly high, fly fast and that sounds great but there are some pilots who would rather stay in the hotel than problem solve a finicky airplane like the X.
Don't apply if the latter describes you.
Let's RODEO!

Baker Aviation has been based in FTW since its inception. The Baker Aviation you reference in Kotzebue shows it was founded in 1967 and went out of business in 2012. They flew Twin Otters.
No relation between the two.

Does Baker require the 10 type rating? I have a 7 type, any leeway there on this? Anybody know?

Hi Chase,
I was wondering is there a minimum flight hours they are looking for on the X? I am looking into finding a company locally. I fly on LR-60 as an SIC that based out of Florida and I live out in the SE dallas area.
Thanks for any information. Have a great day.
