Jet linx Trash Company

Yes it is stupid for Jet Linx to do that, but that is what they did to themselves. They made their bed, they can sleep in it. If it happens to be advantageous for pilots to take advantage of, fine. But as a matter of economics, look at it this way:
Jet Linx pays new hire FO's $36,000 a year. Add the type rating and that is about $50,000.

That is what my company pays a new FO, and they must come typed already.

So really, a guy is paying for his own type rating. I know a lot of people don't like the idea of paying for your own type, but it is getting a lot harder to find good jobs without one.

With management/owners that currently exists at Jet Linx, nothing will change. So why not let some pilots with low time use it to get ahead?

As for Pilot754, I hope that he decides on a new career before he kills someone. I also hope that the morons at Jet Linx can weed him out, but I don't think that is likely. They do hire good pilots, but they also don't hesitate to hire guys with no talent.

Jet Linx Aviation is nothing more than a low rent 134.5 bottom feeder with bad management.I think a collage graduate with no aviation experience could do a better job at running the comany.They have alot of high paid managers who sit around and do nothing or put themselves on the best trips in their better aircraft.The company needs a major change of command to turn it around.

We don't want them to turn around

I feel fine with Jet Linx never fixing their problems. I would rather see them go away. Then let the 20 managers explain in their next job interview why with one manager per pilot, they couldn't manage their way out of a wet paper sack.

I would have to agree with your comments.

Senior Captain Quits

I heard one of the best captains Jet Linx Aviation had just put in his two weeks notice.This is a major hit on the company as captains are concerned,but I'am sure they will find some low time flight instructor to fill his position.The company is really starting to scare me on the experience level and safety of their pilots.How can they have the second in command pilots log pilot in command time when they are not pilot in command current after six months?

 

[TrailerTrash]

More new hires on the way!

With the best qualified pilots quiting for alot better jobs.Jet Linx Aviation has to hire who ever they can find to fill the vacant positions.The safety of the company is compromised with the departure of the more experienced captains and more will be leaving soon.I would not want to have the responsibility of the director of operations or chief pilot in this bad situation.Line guys rule!

The training at Jet Linx Aviation is subpar at best.They put you through a computer training course that takes around sixty hours to finish.Most of the pilots use the memorize dump method without learning any valuable information about company procedures,operation manual,etc.I heard the Lincoln Nebraska FAA was trying to make them improve their training program.They should go back to a week of ground school on all new hires and a four day recurrent for all the other pilots.The management needs to evaluate themselves,instead of the pilots who are making all the money for the company.Fly alot more Sushi

sushi flying

I may be interested in flying sushi. I am very qualified. I would also like to see g-force hired so we can teach him how to fly for a living and actually keep a job. By the time I am done with him he will be able to fly across the atlantic just like I did in may 1927. Then he should not be harrassed on here so much and he will have better things to talk about.

Safety is very important and it should not be compermised at any cost.

More hiring with less qualified personal

Jet Linx Aviation are hiring pilots on a daily basis and are having a hard time keeping qualified pilots or maintenance personal.I feel there are serious safety issues that should be addressed by the proper people in charge of that operation.

Training & duty times

If they are using computer based training.There should be duty times assigned until the completion of the course.Most pilots working on training programs during their assigned rest periods in motels.This could create duty issue problems for crews if done correctly.Most training programs have a log in and log off time so this would be easy to check.

Company required training

All company required training is considered duty time,beause it is required by your operator.This is a way for your 134.5 bottom feeder company to save money and time on the training of their pilots.

 

[TrailerTrash]

The Trashman is back !

Most 135 operators are bottom feeders and Jet Linx Aviation is no exception to the rule.They use computer based training to save money on the cost of training pilots properly.This is what all bottom feeders do in the charter world and have no problem with the lousy training that could affect the reputation of the companys future.That is one major reason that most of their past employees have made numerous true statements on the website.If they would stop all the 134.5 activities,maybe the reputation would be a little better.Line guys rules!

How many aviation companys can you get hired with flight instructor experience.They are a great place to fly with the largest Mitsubishi Diamond fleet in the country.If you enjoy flying almost everyday of your life with five days off a month.The pay for first officers is thirty-five thousand and captains are fifty thousand a year.I think it is a great place to start your aviation training,but what do I know about a flying career.

blah blah blah

How long is this going to go on? It's the same people talking the same sh!t about the same sh!t. I'll bet 75% of the post on this thread are from former employees. This company has been operating the same for atleast 3 years. For those of you who worked here did you move on to a better job? I'll bet you did. Would you have got your current job without working at jet linx?, Maybe-maybe not. Shut up biaches, and realize jet linx is a stepping stone. The same stepping stone that you used to get a better job.

peace

When I crossed over the atlantic ocean in 1927.I had the best pilots skills that anyone has ever had in the world.I think no one will ever be up to my standard or even come close to having my pilot skills.
Amatures need not apply!

You're a ********************ing idiot.

More captains have quit.

What seems to the problem at Jet Linx Aviation in Omaha Nebraska.More qualified captains have left that 134.5 bottom feeder company in the last month and one of the pilots could only put up with the bad treatment for a few months.The management does not know how to fix the problem and before to long they will not have a company left to run.Most of the customers are getting scared with the exit of all the pilots.
