Actually according to thier website they will be flown with 2 pilots not 1

If you think you're shocked. Just wait until at the rich people trade their cirrus in for a VLJ and then go to call for an insurance quote.

Atleast the VLJs will make small holes.

Those minimums, which are for captains (DayJet is hiring only captains initially), is because DayJet wants to maintain an ARG/US Platinum rating. Starting salary is $50,000, but it's the quality of life that make the job--start and end at the same airport, nine-hour shift (6 am-3 pm or 2 pm to 11 pm), weekends/holidays off, two weeks of vacation, med/dental/vision/life insurance, etc.

The 9-hour shift doesn't sound bad. But I wonder what happens when Mr. or Mrs. Moneybags is late getting to the airport near the end of the pilots' shift. I can't believe DayJet would strand a passenger. And if they already have passengers onboard, I wonder what DayJet's policy will be for late-showing passengers.

It'll be an interesting market segment to watch as it develops.

So rich people don't want to fly on weekends or holidays? Right. We'll see how long that lasts.

I guess the only thing I really find excessive is that 500 hours of your PIC must be in a TurboJET. I have plenty of Turbine PIC, too bad it's in a turboprop.

I don't think I'll give up my Falcon job, sounds great if youre a retired airline type though.

 

[gunfyter]

Well I think the requirements are excessive for $50K Captains. If they get big we may have to Strong unionize them.

haha, is this for real? Sounds good on paper, but so did communism.

Isn't Dayjet 135 charter? Why is this thread in the fractionals? I was reading on another aviation board where a guy wanted to come to NJA and build turbine time so he could get on with Dayjet. I had not laughed that hard in awhile.
