Miami Air

[27 driver]

Does anybody have any info about Miami Air? I am thinking about putting in a resume and want some details. Any info would be appreciated.

Sure, Miami Air does not fly freight. They are a passenger charter operation. Info on salary and applications can be found a www.airlinepilotcentral.info

Good Luck

In contract negotiations right now. FO's are looking to get a 20-35% pay increase. Three year training contract. You get a PIC type rating on the B737-800. Parking the B727's and replacing them with two B737-400's in a 56 seat corporate configuration.
We do a lot of international flying. Lots of flying to Europe and the Middle East. We have a weekely run to Italy from Baltimore and to Venezuela from Miami.
Fun place to work. Getting lots of ETOPS and long range navigation experience. Our B737-800's are ETOPS 180 minutes certified. We are also in the process of getting Electronic Flight Bags in our B737-800's. No more Jeppesen uppdates

Good luck.

I am in negotiations, too. I am looking to get that brand new, 2006 silver Lexus SC430 I have my eye on down at the local dealership for $12,000. He wants $72K.

I think we both have about the same chance at success. Then again, maybe mine is just a hair better.

Why are thinking of putting a resume in? PUT THE RESUME IN! If you are lucky enough to get an interview, go to the interview. If you are lucky enough to get hired, then decide if the job is for you.

Reading up on MNPS, NAT, FMS, LRN, ETPs, ETOPS, 2 pilot 121 regs, and international procedures might not be a bad idea.

They do a lot of AMC/DOD flying is what the people I know who used to work there say. Also: in-house union, no furlough history, moderate turnover (from firing and quiting), a 3 year $24,000 training contract. Low FO pay, lots of time away from home, and not a lot of upgrading. I hear the training is pretty thorough but interviews are pretty tough to get if you don't have an inside source.

A friend just turned them down because pay was too low for a 3-year lock. Remember, a type rating doesn't mean much without PIC time in type along with it.

I am not really concerned with the low pay as much as the 3 year contract. I don't think I want to get locked in. I have someone to walk my resume in, I am just not sure if I want him to. Does anybody know how many days away from home, do you have to live in Miami, any other quality of life issues, etc.?

This might be old info, my friend that went there said it was 9 hard days off, 2 soft days with 1.5 hr call out. Could be gone for 2 weeks at a time. Again, it might be old.

Ya'll still have the Heat 72?

 

[PltSkiracer]

Yepp it's old....and we do fly the Heat 72, but not for long. We will keep flying the Heat but with a B737-400 in a corporate configuration. Our 72's are being parked.

I fly on average 30-50 hours a month and we can't be away from base more than 7 days . Normally 1-5 day trips. Very difficult to commute, we have several jumpseat agreements though. Life is good if you live in the Miami area. Lots of time off and not too much flying.

I moved to Miami and left an unstable regional career behind me. Smartest move I ever made!
