Planet Airways

[Ichibu]

Does anyone know anything about this new start up company? How stable are they? Any info is appreciated.

I don't think it is a new start up. The Planet Airways I know has a couple 727s used for charter ops and I read somewhere that it was based in MCO. I heard it was an "interesting" airline to work for.....

been around

This airline has been around for a few years and was started I believe by Ron Perlman who is better known in the music industry for starting boy bands on their way.

ICHIBU- how did you hear about this airline?

They've been around for a few years now, 727 Charter pax ops, used to see them down in MIA a lot.

When I went for my Transmeridian interview a few weeks ago, there was a Planet 727 Captain in there with me who basically said he was hating his QOL (or lack thereof). "Interesting" is putting it nicely I believe, as he told me to run far, far away from Planet unless it was a choice between there and wearing that orange apron at Home Depot...

You might have better luck, it really depends what your background is. If you've flown part 135 freight, it might be an improvement. If you haven't flown for a Supplemental 121 op before, then you're in for an "interesting" ride...

She's a Flight Attendant I think, right?

 

[Lear70]

Heh heh... oops.

I think you're right, but either way, if the pilots hate it, can't imagine the F/A's would think it was the greatest thing since sliced bread either, but who knows?!
