Looking for an initial cadre of one CA and one FE to help write manuals, set up training programs, etc mostly office stuff, but they will be line qualified. All other seats to be filled via internal bid in seniority. Adding about 8-10 pilots F/E's Hence hiring lots of DC-9 and Falcon pilots in the next 4-6 months. No decision on F/E's needing A&P professional F/E

Would there be any major advantage to A&P/PFEs in the operation vs pilot/FEs ?

If bidding for the new 727 openings is by seniority, are any of your current pilots likely to leave a pilot seat to be an FE ?

At any rate, it's a fun airplane to fly. :cool:

FE A&P can sign off maintenance on the road, something important when flying really old airplanes with DMI's

Very true. I take it you don't have your own MTC personnel most places you go ?

How many crews/airplane do you normally run ?

We are like tramp steamers, we just float around the county to find the cargo, only places we have maintenance is YIP and LRD. We are going to crew the 727 at 4:1 for one airplane
 
My father and a few uncles have flown the 727 and maintain it is the best airplane they ever flew... Will be cool to see a few more flying.
 
The pay is awesome . Some Dc-9 captain are making over 140k . Awesome job
As a first officer one can easily make 60k

No don't do that, you want to work at DAL someday, but you won't need to brign it to the interview.
 
Sierra West did have a listing for 727 crews a while back. I'm surprised JUS didn't go for the 737-400, it looks like Kalitta Charters II just acquired one. But I'll always be a 727 fan.
 
Not a 727 question but couldn't find another place to put this:

I see that a former DL MD-88, N978DL, is now at USA Jet. Was it converted to a cargo version or is it still a pax airplane ?
 
I think Wikipedia may have part of the answer. USA Jet bought 15 MD88s from Delta, using 6 for freighter conversion and active flying. The rest are parts donors. But it doesn't say which N#s are which. N978DL is no longer in the FAA registry beyond the change of ownership so that may signal its fate:
