Stagnant in the props...maybe, but the jets are moving pretty darn good right now. In the next week or two there should be at least 3 jet PIC spots come open, plus the SIC spots that will be open due to upgrading from the last bid sheet. This will give at least 5 more props in the next few weeks, and i don't really see things changing much once we start losing a few guys to places like NJA.
 
Flying at Airnet is just going to get you ready for UPS and Fedex. What kind of schedules do floaters have? And starcheck why are you only applying to Frontier?
 
Do the Jet guys make what they have posted on the website? I.E.
Salary Ranges
Lear 60 PIC: 62,500 – 73,500
Lear 60 SIC: 40,000 – 60,000
Lear 35 PIC: 50,000 – 60,000
Lear 35 SIC: 32,000 – 40,000

And is JetRide simply the name for the Jet freight side of the house, the charter side or do they fly jets under the Airnet side? Just trying to seperate everything.
 
Richard...Those salaries look as though they are the Jetride side of the company, especially the 60 scale. The JR side is the passenger charter side of Airnet. We do have 35's on the freight side, but i know we don't make the money they have listed above. In fact, most of the lears are on the freight side, with something like 40"ish".

Psysicx...i am not only applying to Frontier...I have UPS and SWA and a few others(kept up my sleeve for now). Frontier is definately one of my top three, especially since they are the "hometown airline." They also seem to be one heck of a good airline, and a great place to work. By the way, have you seen those commercials?!?!?!?!? Oh, man...here i go again.......
 
The salaries posted above are JetRide salary ranges. I can vouch for them to be true and correct. As a Lear 60 SIC, I started at $52,000 per year plus whatever I bring home in per diem and overtime. So, I probably come close to $60K if you add the extras. You will not make that much on the freight side for some time, but flying freight is still a blast and I miss it.
 
Good one Purv... I should shut up now b4 I make a stupid mistake, in a van down by the river. :laugh: :laugh: Or was it a taxiway sign :confused: :laugh: Dumba$$:smash:

Holy-smiley-overuse, Batman!!!
 
I am looking at Airnet and Flightexpress. Will Airnet work with me on the 1-year contract or do they wont you to stay the full term? Does anyone know when Airnet or Flightexpress will start their next classes?
 
Don't even bother with flightexpress. Their 135 training classes take a weekend and you'll be parked in a Centurion making 19k a year.


As for the one year contract, define "work with me"
 
Why would you want to have them "work with you" on your one year contract???? I'm confused why you would need to leave early...but that's not what you asked so here ya go....


NO THEY WILL NOT.


Why is one year so hard to commit to??? Do you know it feels like i have been here only a couple years myself, and then i look back and realize it has been 5 1/2 years...all went by really fast.
 
"Work with me"; are they very set on the one year contract or can you negotiate a 6 month deal? If they are not negotiable, I respect that and won't make a fuss, just curious.
 
airplaner.... no they won't work with you on that. They invest 5 weeks of training into you so they expect you to finish out your year.
 
The contract is there because of the high cost to train new hires (~~$7,000). If you go to a decent regional you are facing a 12-24 month contract. Flight Express doesn't require one because their company is pathetic when it comes to training. Like Prince said, it is a weekend course. I find it funny, too, that they offer pilots staying beyond 6 months a bonus. Doesn't that alarm anyone?!
 
Actually, it's not very alarming...we used to offer a $1500 contract completion bonus when i came aboard here. But i do wonder about the training time at FE, however i knew some great pilots that worked there, unfortunately one lost his life flying the 210 for them, bad day, also lost a friend at Tex-Star(at least that was the name then) on the same day.
 
One year isn't really all that much of a commitment in the grand scheme of things. If you fully intend to bail out before that year is up, I can offer two options for you.

1. Come in to the first day of training with a check for $7000 in hand.

or

2. Go somewhere else.

Thanks for "defending" FLX. When I was there, 135 groud training was one week long, and flight training was another week, so hardly a "weekend" like Prince said.

FLX provides a bonus right after training with the notion that a pilot will stay for 6 months. If they leave early, they give it back. I don't see anything wrong with this.

I did 1 year at FLX, and enjoyed it immensely. I would recommend flying freight to anyone.

I have said it before, and will say it again: Airnet, FLX, Ram & Package, etc are all the same. We all fly through crap weather, make crap money (less than 50k) and do essentially the same job. All these companies have fatalities. Give it a rest already!

Hey Art...just curious if you are still laying off on the exporting, and focusing more on the importing?

Hope business is good.

How do you fit that in to your busy schedule of being a judge and being in the latex business?
