Can anybody enlighten me on Ameristar Jet Charter

At USA Jet only the pax DA-20's have TCAD, what is FMS? is that something like a glass cockpit. We have glass over all of our steam gauges, does that count? These are real men's airplanes where you fly them instead of programming them. They do have RVSM and autopilots. All hiring USA Jet hiring is into the F/O's seat on the DA-20. Right now right seat of the DC-9 is about 1 year, bid on seniority. DA-20 Upgrade is also about one year, of course last year at this time it was 2.5 years. If interested go to jsfirm.com and post a resume

Hi!

The Falcon 20 is a great airframe. The engines are old technology, so you are often performance limited.

We have round dial airplanes (no TCAS, FMS, etc.). They all have GPS and they are all RVSMd so both altimiters work great and the autopilots keep you on your altitude. The best thing about our cockpits is they guy (or gal-we have a couple) next to you.

Upgrades are variable because of the economy, like everywhere, but the longest any Falcon Capt upgrade has taken since 1999 (maybe earlier) is 3.5 years, so its a lot quicker than at the better regionals.

(FMS is the system that integrates all of your navigational aids into one box, including your radios. The newer jets all have (usually) two of them.)
