New Airline in NewYork?

[Cathay747400]

Someone told me today that there was a new B757 operation in New York. First class seats to Europe. Now I know about Primaris and I think there is a new BWI operation called Skylink? Anybody have any info out of curiosity.

Primaris

Word is that Primaris will fly out of EWR. We've started up a message board community to discuss them and their pending hiring:

I applied online to skylink ( I have about 500 TT) and I received a letter yesterday.

Of course it was a negative answer But Let me tell you that I felt good since it was the first letter I received from an airline. It was politely saying that I should reapply when I meet their minimums( 5000TT, only one more zero to go!)
It was signed by the HR responsible with her own hand, which proves that she has time on her hands( I dont if its a good sign)
They will fly 767 I think.

ETOPS,


Skylink Airways is different from Primaris...as far as I can tell. Googled Skylink Airways but couldn't find a website but someone said they applied on it so it's out there somewhere. Skylink is supposed to start BWI-EU service in May, '05.

Skylink is also the name of some airlines in other parts of the world. Don't know if they're all related.

Just for kicks i sent a resume to Primaris awhile back and got a thanks but no thanks response from them a short time later. They wanted some crazy stuff like a type and so many hrs in type along with extensive international travel. A few other things as well, just to be an F/O in a jet. I thought it was a little overboard, but i am sure there are people out there who can meet those requirements and will get the jobs. I will try to find where i posted the response on this board and link it here so you can see exactly what i got from them.

You've all probably got this already, but here's the website to Skylink Airways:



www.skylinkairways.com There's an online pilot application.

There's apparently more than one Skylink in the world. If you Goggle it, there is a EU outfit by the same name. The one above is the US version.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like the newest scumbag carrier on the block. I hope I am wrong, but given the current state of affairs in aviation it is probably the newest LLC with substandard pay and benifits. A late entry to the race to the bottom.

Please correct me if I am wrong and I will recant everything that I said. Like I said, I am hoping to be wrong.
