Guys - those of you ripping Jet Select obviously don't know the way things are there. I recently interviewed there and I found it to be refreshing compared with many other 135 operators. The pay and benefits were very competitive and atmosphere was excellent. Like many other 135 operations, you need to be able to think on your feet, offer alternatives and be a leader. Frankly, as a pilot I love that approach.
Also, as far as the JetRide/AirNet situation, can you blame these guys for going to a better situation? With the atmosphere at JetRide / AirNet and the complete lack of leadership (let alone a lack of knowledge in the new Flight Ops leadership - absolutely NO FAR 135 pax experience) I have to think anybody offered a better deal would jump on it - and they did.
I hope I get a chance to work with these guys - there approach is appelaing to me and I like cutting edge.
