Here's a GREAT JOB

[txpilot1_99]

You're not serious are you? Why would you take a job that imposed a training contract, non-compete, and non-disclosure agreement? Then, in complete disrespect to your skills, they say that office work is required.

Stepping stone I guess, but do you know how a non-compete can stifle your career progress?

Read his profile...he's kidding. I believe FF is working on his instrument, or supposed to be anyways.

This industry is so sad!

Sadly this company is not the only one with terrible working conditions and low pay. Ameristar has almost the exact same job stipulations. 18 month contract, non-compete (cant make a lateral move to another freight co. for 6 mos.) and non-disclosure contrcts. 25K base salary. Home only 6 days a month.

There is the golden carrot of a quick upgrade and PIC turbine, but the price you pay in loss of QOL is not worth it.

In my opinion, any company that makes you sign a contract is a bottom feeder and you should stay very far away.

Don't lump all on-demands together. Who has a training contract? USA Jet dropped all contracts 3 years ago. Who hires Capt. off the street? USA Jet has single seniority list and fills all seats from inside the company, new hires often bid into the right seat of the DC-9 in their first year with the company. USA Jet has not hired a Capt off the street since 1998. Who hires you for a position in ADS and tells you in ground school you are being based at YIP? USA Jet is up front you must live at YIP to get the job. Who has passed inspections from Ford Motor and General Motors for Executive Passenger Charters? USA Jet is a preferred provider for both GM and Ford Executive Passenger travel on both the DA-20 and DC-9. There are many ways to judge a company and gather information.
Everything in cargo is a reserve line with a 25-minute call out. 24 hours a day, except when in rest or on days off. DA-20 gets 11 hard days a month off a month the DC-9 13 hard days off per month. Passenger ops bid scheduled line six months in advance; they have scheduled line plus irregular reserve blocks where they are on a 2-hour call out. This year probably 50% of our DC-9 pilots will be in scheduled passenger flying. BTW we only hire into the right seat of the DA-20.
USA Jet does all of its training under Part 121 N & O; the DA-20 has 5 weeks of full time ground school prior to starting sim training, which runs one week and 25 hours for F/O's. All DA-20 F/O's receive 25 hours of supervised IOE prior to being released to line operations, we observe 100 min time in seat for pairing restrictions and in the past have turned down trips because of only low time pairs available. Our safety record speaks for it self and is the standard for the industry. No training is done in airplanes on ride along legs. We have had pilots go to major airlines and tell us, except for fancy bells and whistles, the USA Jet training was as good as they got at their major. No USA Jet pilot has failed training at his next job. At an unnamed national passenger operator, 50% of the new hire pilots washed out of DC-9 training, USA Jet pilots had a 100% pass rate based upon their USA Jet Training. Some pilots hired by a large player in the business waived all testing and sim evals for USA Jet pilots, because of the known quality of their USA Jet Training. While in full time ground school you are paid $300/wk. We have program on track for 6 figures pay in 6 years for all Captains.

We have program on track for 6 figures pay in 6 years for all Captains.

Sounds great, I will send in a resume as soon as you open a base west of Denver.

All DC-9/MD80 captains should make 6 figures, yip. And, "on track" is not the same as "here".

Call us when something interesting happens.

Uh...there is a an Air Ambulance company out of Albequerque that called me the other day for a job offer on a Lear 35......1st year 30K, no office job, 1 yr pro rated contract, type in one year, no additional contract, they said that the pay was reduced because so many people had left them....and the contract was new!!!!! 25k,office,contract and no compete.....DONT DO IT THAT IS EXACTLY HOW MY CAREER STARTED!!!!!

Tex

I interviewed with their previous incarnation in 2002, and the pay was 30k and you paid for your training. If they have so many people leaving, the logical thing to do is to increase pay to keep people around, not lower it.

I'd hit it.


And that job sucks.
