Are there any good hotels near JFK or EWR?

Do you like flying for them? I am thinking about applying and wanted to know about the company. What are the pros and cons?

Use the search function and you will find all the information you are asking for and then some.

We have many pilots accepting recalls to the majors and others going to the likes of UPS and FedEX and just about any airline that is hiring.

The toughest part for most crewmembers is being away from home 17 days in a row. Hard on the family, especially if children are involved.

Will more than likely see hiring in early to mid 2007.

Hey, you get to fly the Whale around the world... Plus, I hear their 747s are EFIS equipped - not too bad. Later when you move on to JetBlue to fly the E190 you will have good memories of international flying...

With the exception of being very junior and/or bidding back to back months, is it always 17 on 13 off or are there 19/11 lines, ect?

Also, does that 17 include the commercial to meet the airplane or is that not counted in the 17 on?

Thanks.
