Airnet JetRide?

[spitfire1940]

Can anyone tell me how Airnet's new charter department is doing, whether or not it's healthy and how long it takes to move into that part of the company after flying the pistons?

I gathered from the Web site that they don't hire off the street into any of the Lears.

I appreciate the input.

Jetride is doing well. Adding jets all the time. The time is probably shorter from the props to Jetride than it is to the cargo lears because of the schedules. As far as hiring off the street goes, they do hire directly into the jetride lears if you can meet the Capt qualifications and have some good time in the a/c, otherwise you will need to move up through the ranks.

starchkr,

thanks for that. seeing as no good deed should go unpunished, a couple more questions:

are the Jetride planes colocated at the ordinary Lear bases?

do the people flying for Jetride see it as a career job, or is it generally considered a stepping stone?

Are many of the Lear 35 guys electing to go to the Lear 60 at Jetride? I am a big fan of the Lear 60 - nice ride and the sharp end is a nice place to be....

ETOPS,

I have read the Airnet Web site and listened to the hot line. The point of the forum (aside from bashing PFT and Mesa) is to find guys inside these companies who can give information not available on the Web sites.

There's not much info about Jetride on the Web site. Short of calling Craig Waschka or one of the other guys, I thought I'd ask here.
