26 North Aviation

Anyone here have info about working for 26 North Aviation, based in ABE? Good, bad, otherwise?

Isn't that Jared Isaacman's flight department?

Donno, no mention of him on their website

Some wiki-fu:

Dunno anything about the company, but Jared's certainly an interesting individual.

Thanks for the info!

I'm interested in that company as well. I remember reading in a local newspaper a few years ago about him departing from MMU to fly around the world. I had no clue he was part owner of 26 North...

A friend did a contract trip for them two years back. It took six months to get paid. I've met Jared a few times. Very interesting guy and always seemed very humble. When it comes to his warbird side he is surrounded by very good people. Not sure if 26 N is run the same.

The company is a crapshoot, you don't want to work there. As a matter of fact, they are going be closing their doors in the next couple months. They had plenty of work but the company ran itself into the ground from lack of management

Well, if thats the case, I'll tell my sad story. They had posted a SIC position on a Citation V based in LWM. I didn't quite meet their qual's, but I decided to apply anyway. I ended up having a phone interview, and they said they'd be in contact with me. They called the following week while I was busy, and I was not able to answer, but they left a voicemail asking if I could come down the following monday to interview. I wasn't able to becuase I was going to be working, so I called them back and left a voicemail explaining that, but that I'd be able to come down at a later date. I never heard a thing from them after that, despite calling and e-mailing a few more times after that. I figured if they weren't able to be a little flexible regarding the interview, it probably isn't a good place to work. Sounds like I dodged a bullet.
