What happened to the other thread?can't find it anywhere!Somebody is being too critical about Jet Linx.If I had to guess it would probably be Reb-Pilot or Minnesota Pilot that is doing it,
Lighten Up a little bit !!!!

Wang's thoughts on Jet Linx Aviation in Omaha

Here is how they can get the company out of the 134.5 bottom feeder bracket.
1.Fire all the management and start off with better teamwork.
2.Treat everyone with respect and offer them a higher quality of life.
3.Have a seniority based system for anyone working at the company.
4.Get newer aircraft instead of flying the worst in the country.
5.Fly alot more Sushi !!!!

I would have to agree with your statement it is 100% correct.

I'm guessing that all of these post have come from previous employees and current employees. My question to those who work there or who have worked there is what are your expectations working for a CHARTER company? Did you not know they had a 26 and 4 schedule? I have good friends who worked and currently work there. Some liked it, some hated it and some are making the best of it. Jet lynx has turned into one of the biggest feeders to corporate row, is this a bad thing?

As far as management, I've heard there is a mix good ones and bad ones. What company have you worked for in the past that hasn't had both types. When you say 134.5 bottom feeder what do you mean? Do they break the rules, are there planes unairworthy, do you fly when not rested? Or... are the planes old, do you go out on your rest, they don't have fancy tv screens in front of you? I do know for a fact that they are the only company that has duty times for being on call, this is rare in the 135 world. As far a schedule goes, they are probably the worst in town. My guess is that this will change or they will continue to have people quit. Wang your right when saying they have to offer a better quality of life, if they don't its going to continue to be a revolving door.

My point is, make the best of it and get your time, meet knew people and get a better job. Or, be miserable and bitch about everything on flightinfo. It is a small world in Omaha and if you want to work and live here there are not many other places to work.

let the bashing continue.

This is just information for pilots that are looking for future jobs.Jet Linx Aviation is a 135 charter company with alot of internal problems.They have almost one management person for every pilot and that is not a joke.The quality of life and schedule has it problems with only five hard days off per month.Getting a job at corporate row is like winning the lottery or landing a major airline job.Most 135 operators have a certain amount of problems with all the regulations from time to time.Unless something is changed, they will only be a training ground for their pilots next job.All the previous employees or current employee statements on this website are true.

I wouldn't mind trying to get a job here but I do feel I'm way over qualified for this place as I am at most places.

I'am sure that you are the best pilot ever,but at this point Jet Linx Aviation will hire just about anyone who walks through their door.Line guys rule!

Jet Linx Aviation

My sources are telling me that Jet Linx Aviation is really desperate for pilots.They are hiring every Tom, Dick and Harry that they can find at this point.I've also heard that the more seasoned pilots are getting the union back in the works.Maybe this time it will work out and they will finally be a unionized company.Line guys rule!

I think you should make a correction Jet Linx Aviation is hiring every Tom, Dick and Sally that walks through the door.If the management at Jet Linx Aviation would pay as much attention to the company business as they do to this website.They might not be losing all their pilots or be more profitable.Fly alot more Sushi.

Why Jet Linx is OK

As a former Jet Linx pilot, I only think its fair to list the good qualities of the company:

They hire guys with low time and experience, and pay for an ATP and type rating. Then they can get the experience they need to get a real job. Think of the poor schedule and low pay and lack of respect as payment for your type and ATP. Finish out your contract and get a real job.

All on-demand 135 operators have things in common:trips pop up without very much notice,pilots on-call for the week-end,some very long road trips,these are common to the entire charter-unscheduled industry.Where the difference is in mgmt.What happens with mgmt will make the difference between a bottomfeeder and a good place to work.
Obviously,this outfit has some work to do in its mgmt practices!!

Can you shed some light on just what is wrong? I've had some bad bosses in the past, and I would like to think these guys would have to be pretty bad before they scared me off... Like was mentioned above, getting a decent starter job is pretty important to a guy like me.

What's with the name-calling?

Come on fuzzzy, figure it out.....

Usually childish name calling will get you a free trip to moderation jail.Most competent posters would stay with the subject at hand and not get into flame bait arguments.

Oy. Yeah I know this Bed-Wetter. My bad. He is a good friend of mine, and he had to call me to let me know it was him.

To Raginmav: G-Force is right, management is EVERYTHING. I fly for a good 135 charter company that provides a good schedule, great pay, and a whole lot of respect for the pilots. But they will not touch you if you don't have a lot of time, and ATP, and a Type Rating. This is why places like Jet Linx exist. They can really jump-start your career. Just understand before going into it, what you are getting out of it. Jet Linx, as bad as it is, is still better than the Regionals, you just build time slower.

 

[Ace Pilot]

All this hostility!!

May be if some of you spent more time trying to be the best pilot instead of fighting you would be somewhere better in life. I started to realize this back in May of 1927 when I made my trip across the Atlantic. But that was a cake walk. I'm much better now.

This place is nothing more than a 134.5 bottom feeder.There is no schedule with lower than average pay and a lack of respect for the pilots.The only thing that Jet Linx Aviation can jump-start is your anger management on how stupid they can be in all situations.Most Regional Airlines treat their pilots with alot more respect and they have more opportunity than that disaster of a organization in Omaha.Fly more Shushi

The latest on Jet linx Aviation

Here is the latest information on that disfunctional family in Omaha Nebraska.
I heard that Howdy Doody is no longer in the dispatch office and is now working for the two biggest losers in the company.(Chief Pilot,Director of Operations)There will be more information in the future on the demise of that organization stay tuned.

Jet Linx Aviation,Omaha

More pilots have quit at Jet Linx Aviation.I can give them some good advice on how to run a good 135 operation.They need to increase the pilot pay for captains and copilots to industry standards.Have a schedule with more than five days off per month and maybe the pilots will have a better quality of life.They are always coming out with more company prolicies that are illrelivant to daily operations.The only way that they will ever keep pilots around is to fire all management personal.Line guys rule!

Aside from my technical qualifications, I have always prided myself in working well with my peers and paying attention to the most important people at a Corporate Flight department our customers.

With your upcoming new routes and aircraft acquisitions, I believe my flying experience, career dedication, and positive attitude would be a benefit to your airline. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you in the very near future.


Personal and Customer Service Mission Statement

I posses nine of what I consider the most important qualities of a First Officer and one day Captain: initiative, high motivation, outstanding organizational skills, self-starter, integrity and good communication skills, team work, caring, and ability to conduct a program to its fullest while keeping in mind safety being first. My easy going nature and ability to get along with people would certainly contribute to my ability as a crew member and function both as a friend and a mentor.
It's easy to talk about building customer loyalty. But actually providing the exceptional customer service experience that creates loyalty is another matter. To offer that customer experience requires employees who can respond quickly and personally to customer requests, whether it's for product information, a transaction history, or changes to a pending flight. Empowered, knowledgeable employees become a company's customer service champions, and your company is working to provide the technology that helps a company grow with on time performance!

My Philosophy and Challenge of Customer Service

A company that provides great customer service can gain a competitive edge. That's because study after study shows that customers today aren't happy with the way they're treated. That in recent years the difficulty faced by retailers and others in meeting customer expectations and handling growing customer volume has led to declines in customer satisfaction in a wide range of industries, from retail to healthcare to travel.
When customers show up in a somewhat sour mood due to rising energy prices and the feeling that their paycheck isn't going as far as it once did. Moreover, the customer dissatisfaction has wide implications. The U.S. economy is heavily dependent on increases in consumer spending. Such increases are hard to come by when consumers become less satisfied.
It doesn't help that customers today have more choices than ever before, whether it's seeking merchants on the Internet, demanding greater customization, or wanting answers to questions around the clock with time sensitive materials.

Clearly, offering superb customer service confers enormous benefits on a company. The right technology can create a pathway to great customer service by empowering employees to fully focus on the customer rather than spending their customer contact time looking up records or asking other employees for help. With information about a customer or a company's products at their fingertips, employees can put to work their experience and desire to succeed for any company that relies on satisfied customers. And satisfied customers become what a company really needs: loyal customers. I feel that I am ready to provide your company with excellence in this department. Cause with out them your company does not make profits!

Thanks
