There many questions that are racing through jetride. Hopefully some of you at Pinnacle can address a few of them. Concerning your schedule, are you guys doing a 3 pilot rotation with the plane gone the entire time or does the plane come back to its base after trips?
The remote airplanes fly with a crew of 2 for 15 days. The crew swap happens on the 15th day if the airplane is accessible to an airport with airline service. If not, the rotation is shortened or lengthened a day or two to get the airplane and crew within airline service.
What locatations do you have assigned as bases?
ASG and LAS. Two lears 35/55 in LAS and a CE650, 1 31A, and 60 in ASG. The rest are remote. The 45's are having a time finding a home right now.
The remote guys live where ever they want. You are just responsible for getting to a major airport and they airline you out.
What type of equipment do you guys have and what are the plans for the future.
Have 3-31A's, 2-45's, 3-60's, 1-55, 1-35, 1-CE650, 2-DA50's.
Planned ????? Believe it when it's on property.
Will you guys move into LCK new facilities with who's managment.
No idea.
Seems as if JetRide managment will say aidos to the pilots and go there own way with Airnet. What really concerns me is quality of life. How much time does one actually spend at home. We work a 14 days on call where we can be home at least half of the time on average. Being gone a straight 14 days is a long time to be gone especially if your only pulling in 70K. I heard that the signing was going to be today.... is this true???
Remotes are 15/15. Based guys have no schedule right now really. Again, understaffed. They are trying for 3/aircraft to give 10 hard off. Too many guys moving up to bigger and better.
This may very well be a good thing to happen but at the same time it pisses me off that nobody will fill us in on whats going on.
Preaching to the choir brother.
Since you guys are a privately owned maybe someone can shead some light on the issue.
I've made calls before that something wouldn't happen and it did, so........
Jetride has a lot of good assets, people, and procedures in place. I hope that in the end this will be great for both of us. I think it will be bumpy for a while though.
I'll pick up the first round with the first Jetride crew I come across and maybe we can put some faces to screen names.
Good luck guys!:beer:
