Family Airlines wanting 50 bucks to apply- does it ever end?

[Jetjockey]

Sorry, Capt. Dan probably has that position.

More than a few airlines in the early '80s charged to "process" your application. Nothing new here.

You really should do a search before you create a ignorant, dismissive post like this again. You've been around here long enough to have seen at least five or six Family Airlines resurrections and every single one of them was nothing but a scam.

SCAM, folks. Not legit. Not ever.

Omg!! That Website Looks So Bogus I Don't Know What To Say. Call The Fbi Cybercrime Division And Have Them Investigate. I Would Not Trust That Site At All.

Send me your app and I will take a look at it for $25. Half off. You heard it correctly. Half off. Just PM it to me and I will send you my address so you can send your non refundable check for $25. I am planning to operate A380’s. I have plans to fly 1200 of them next year. Starting pay will be $200 an hour for F.O.s and $500 an hour for Captains. I prefer guys with minimal experience so you can learn the way we are going to do things around here very easily with out bias. So what are you waiting for? Send me money!

A380's? I hope you plan on running them, all business class between MDW and ORD. Where do I send the 25 bucks?!

That's ambitious Waka...I was planning on starting service between A and C concourses in MCI and A and F in PHL.

PHL and MCI crew bases, folks! What's not to love?

I'll take a look at your resume for $5, but you'll have to pay $50 to interview.

You know what I think everyone should do? We should all check on Family Airline's certification process, several times a day. Their phone number is on their website.

You wouldn't want to be the one left out in the cold when they start up. It sounds like things are really happening there, so again...check in with them by phone, about 6 times a day.

Anyone want to volunteer to help Family Airlines write their manuals?

Scam the Vegas FSDO has no paper work or applications from them.

When I was at Shuttle America, one of our more "flamboyant" flight attendants wanted to start his own airline. I couldn't believe the retards that were sending him their resumes. I saw him in our crewroom with a stack of at least 500. But he wasn't charging 50 bucks so maybe these guys weren't as stupid as the guys sending their check into Family.

Is the CEO from Utica, NY?

Vegas to Miami with a revenue potential of about $35,000? No opportunity for success there.

Also, 747-400's - yet they ask if you want to be a flight engineer? Hedging their bets there, too.

Run, Forrest, Run.

That is sooooo sad. And hilarious. I bet some of the Flight Sim guys would love to get some 'real' airline experience.

I'm gonna start an airline where the application fee is only $45.

 

[Mike man]

I really hate to get involved but, they really do have filings with the DOT...most importantly they just suck and the felon "CEO" tried this once before...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Airlines

Anyway with any luck they will fail again.

Almost worth applying to be an inside mole. If anything, steal some office supplies. Oh wait, you probably have to supply your own for the 'opportunity' to work a great airline. HA! The whole thing is so comical.
