The Other Thread
What happened to the other thread?can't find it anywhere!Somebody is being too critical about Jet Linx.If I had to guess it would probably be Reb-Pilot or Minnesota Pilot that is doing it,
Lighten Up a little bit !!!!

Wang's thoughts on Jet Linx Aviation in Omaha
Here is how they can get the company out of the 134.5 bottom feeder bracket.
1.Fire all the management and start off with better teamwork.
2.Treat everyone with respect and offer them a higher quality of life.
3.Have a seniority based system for anyone working at the company.
4.Get newer aircraft instead of flying the worst in the country.
5.Fly alot more Sushi !!!!

jet lynx
I'm guessing that all of these post have come from previous employees and current employees. My question to those who work there or who have worked there is what are your expectations working for a CHARTER company? Did you not know they had a 26 and 4 schedule? I have good friends who worked and currently work there. Some liked it, some hated it and some are making the best of it. Jet lynx has turned into one of the biggest feeders to corporate row, is this a bad thing?
As far as management, I've heard there is a mix good ones and bad ones. What company have you worked for in the past that hasn't had both types. When you say 134.5 bottom feeder what do you mean? Do they break the rules, are there planes unairworthy, do you fly when not rested? Or... are the planes old, do you go out on your rest, they don't have fancy tv screens in front of you? I do know for a fact that they are the only company that has duty times for being on call, this is rare in the 135 world. As far a schedule goes, they are probably the worst in town. My guess is that this will change or they will continue to have people quit. Wang your right when saying they have to offer a better quality of life, if they don't its going to continue to be a revolving door.
My point is, make the best of it and get your time, meet knew people and get a better job. Or, be miserable and bitch about everything on flightinfo. It is a small world in Omaha and if you want to work and live here there are not many other places to work.
let the bashing continue.

This is just information for pilots that are looking for future jobs.Jet Linx Aviation is a 135 charter company with alot of internal problems.They have almost one management person for every pilot and that is not a joke.The quality of life and schedule has it problems with only five hard days off per month.Getting a job at corporate row is like winning the lottery or landing a major airline job.Most 135 operators have a certain amount of problems with all the regulations from time to time.Unless something is changed, they will only be a training ground for their pilots next job.All the previous employees or current employee statements on this website are true.

Jet Linx Aviation
My sources are telling me that Jet Linx Aviation is really desperate for pilots.They are hiring every Tom, Dick and Harry that they can find at this point.I've also heard that the more seasoned pilots are getting the union back in the works.Maybe this time it will work out and they will finally be a unionized company.Line guys rule!

TrailerTrash line guy.
I think you should make a correction Jet Linx Aviation is hiring every Tom, Dick and Sally that walks through the door.If the management at Jet Linx Aviation would pay as much attention to the company business as they do to this website.They might not be losing all their pilots or be more profitable.Fly alot more Sushi.

Why Jet Linx is OK
As a former Jet Linx pilot, I only think its fair to list the good qualities of the company:
They hire guys with low time and experience, and pay for an ATP and type rating. Then they can get the experience they need to get a real job. Think of the poor schedule and low pay and lack of respect as payment for your type and ATP. Finish out your contract and get a real job.

Don't listen to this dumbass, SHE can fly about as well as a brick, and that's saying something.....
Common Denominators
All on-demand 135 operators have things in common:trips pop up without very much notice,pilots on-call for the week-end,some very long road trips,these are common to the entire charter-unscheduled industry.Where the difference is in mgmt.What happens with mgmt will make the difference between a bottomfeeder and a good place to work.
Obviously,this outfit has some work to do in its mgmt practices!!

Can you shed some light on just what is wrong? I've had some bad bosses in the past, and I would like to think these guys would have to be pretty bad before they scared me off... Like was mentioned above, getting a decent starter job is pretty important to a guy like me.

Usually childish name calling will get you a free trip to moderation jail.Most competent posters would stay with the subject at hand and not get into flame bait arguments.
