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. We have not hired a Captain off the street since 1998. 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. 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 full pay of $34 K per year on the first day of ground school. Pilots also receive a $300 advance per-diem check the first week, and are given a room at a local motel for 15 days while looking for a local residence. We have program on track for 6-figure pay in 6 years for all Captains. There are 10 hard days off every 28-day bid period. While in a duty status, you have to live in the immediate YIP area. Pilots are expected to assist in loading and unloading cargo.
Benefits are good with a Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan you would be eligible for after 90 days. 401K is available with a 80% matching on the first 5% of your pay. Tuition reimbursement is available, and two weeks vacation after the first year. Pay goes up for F/O’s $2/hr in the 3rd year. Company covers all hotel costs on the road and gives the pilots $1.83 per hour pre-diem while away from YIP to cover meals.
DA-20 Captain or DC-9 F/O could be as early as a year, depends upon your qualifications, turnover and growth. Time away from home is the luck of the draw, one guy flies 80 hours and is gone from home 6 days, and the next guy flies 45 hours and is gone 12 days. Some guys spend one night a month in a hotel away from home, but fly many night time round trips. It is a non-sked, hence no schedule.
Mins to apply are 1000TT 500 ME, competitive for hiring is 2000TT AND 1000 me previous 135 or 121 time. USA Jet is the finest DA-20 operator in the On-Demand business. But on-demand is a tuff business for a candidates’ life style. But we offer many things beyond QOL for a potential candidate to consider. We feel our training program is good enough to train anyone who has basic flying skills.

nope not us
That becomes to the Detroit Red Wings, (note logo on the side) happened at STL. After this happened they did some house cleaning and hired a former USA Jet pilot to come over and set up their operation to airline standards. Looks like they want to come to our standards also.safety record?? tell me this was not you...

the U.S. airline industry has never been a regular profitable industry and never will. one or two examples are the exception. if you are a gambler, and I hope you are, you will prepare yourself for other endeavors. that way you will never be disappointed. the only whinning I want to hear is from a jet engine
