Some ex National folks. John Pearsall was training director at N7.
West coast - east coast , east coast- europe with light density seating 757s. Sounds like another Legend.

They are hiring right now, all positions I think.

Last I heard was a base out of LAX and initial routes to Paris and London.

 

[Mr Hat]

The route map looks like they will have an EWR base. Anyone know anything solid on these folks? Nice paint job on the 757's.

I see that the management team includes Randy Babbitt, ex head honcho of ALPA. One wonders is the pay and working conditions will be "industry leading" or could it be that an ALPA leader would sell out? Could it be? Will be interesting to watch . . .

IF they can also solve the maddening check-in process (TSA) then I am sure business travelers would flock to it so long as prices were not too outrageous... It would also need some sort of loyalty/frequent-flier program and corporate sales (corporate contracts to lock-in some income).

Interesting concept given that cheap type-rated pilots and cheap aircraft are currently available - let's hope fuel costs start to decline to give it a chance...

Anyone know when it is slated to start operations?

What could they do to circumvent secuirty, that other airlines have'nt done already?

If these people are Ex-National airlines people out of LAS---then I believe their Capts on the 757 made $60 an hour. On a 757.....

Bye Bye---General Lee

Close...

Actually, N7 paid Captains 70/hr to start, 73.50/hr second year.


I used to know the proposed Primaris pay rates, but I forgot. I think first-year Captains were going to start around 90/hr, but that may have changed. A great group of folks will be running the place, so I hope it gets going.
