Interview W/ Boston-Maine Airways soon

[yaks]

B & M

You don't want to work for them. Owned and operated by Tim Mellon (yes those Mellons) and with 14 billion dollars they still don't pay **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** and won't spend a cent to market or improve their **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**ty operating record. They are starting up the former Pan Am operation as Boston and Maine so they can break the union who got fed up with the annual furlough and **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**ty treatment. Don't waste your time.

B-M has a 135 certificate as well as a 121 certificate. They actually started with two CASAs on the 135 cert flying freight in '99, then got Jetstreams the next year, flew charter 135 pax with them, and then got approved after that for a 121 cert. I used to instruct on the CASA there and it is a good airplane for what it does. Takes off and lands real short, very maneuverable, holds four pallets, but it's very loud and cold in the winter (no prob in PR of course).

You don't need an ATP to fly freight PIC. Just 1200 hrs along with the other req in 135.

Thought they were furloughing guys...

We just interviewed some of their furloughed J31 folks.

They didn't have super things to say about BMA's MX or the condition of the planes. Take the interview and good luck though.

Anything you can get now a days you know.
