USA Jet Eliminates Training Pay

[landlover]

What's the upgrade time over there like? I'm flying a Jetstrem in Nigeria right now, and I want out.

on-demand freight sounds like a walk in the park compared to flying in nigeria.

This is the highest starting pay of any 121/135-air carrier operating A/C under 90,000 MGTOW.

Starting Netjets soon, newhires get 3,857. per month from day one, plus an additional 289. a month 401k match, (50% match up to 15% gross pay)

NJ not player for USA Jet new hires

you can not get hired at NJ with 1000TT and 500ME, but you can get hired at USA Jet and after working at USA Jet for 2-3 years you have an excellent chance of getting on at NJ. Lets see they have hired about 12 over the last 6 years.

Hi!

A lot of USA Jet guys have gone/are going to NetJets. Like PilotYIP said, I didn't have the mins for NetJets when I applied at USA Jet. If I had the mins, I would've applied and gone to NetJets over USA Jet back then.

When I started, the trainees got regular pay, but a 2 year contract. Then, they dropped the contract, but instituted training pay. USA Jet has steadily been lowering the mins, and now the pay is back to regular, just like it used to be.

Currently, new guys get 5 sim sessions and then the check, but that will change as needed. USA Jet, like TSA, will work with you to get your training completed, as long as you are TRYING! Like in most things in life, attitude and effort counts. Training failures are avoided whenever possible, because they are too expensive.

AF UPT is like that now too. At times in the past, the AF used to wash guys out left and right. Now, by the time a UPT student has hit the T-37 or Texan II, the AF has ALREADY spent a ton of money on the student, and they will do everything they can to get the student up to speed.

The hiring tsunami is finally hitting upper management. UAL, NWA, USAir, AA, your managment teams are next!

HOLD OUT FOR HIGHER PAY AND BETTER BENEFITS!!!

PS-One of our Falcon capts made $15K+ in Feb. One of our Falcon FOs made $7K+ last Jun. One of our Falcon capts has over 300 hours this year (Jan-Apr), at $110-120/hour.

I thought about applying but I've heard you don't get very many sim sessions before the big dance. Kind of spooks me a little not having much turbine experience. That's awesome pay though!

The training department at USA Jet is second to none...especially in the charter industry. It is better than a some scheduled airlines actually, I know from first hand experience. I trained helicopter pilots to fly the falcon. If you come to training with a hard working attitude and you can fly IFR.....you'll be fine. But if you are expecting to be spoon fed and are still sucking a t*t then you'll fail. It's up to you.

netjets isn't a 121/135 carrier

Yes we are.

Doesn't matter

Again NJ even if you are a 135, which is not your primary role, I understand you are subpart K. But any way thast is irrelevant, because these pilots do not have an opportunity to work for you until they meet your mins. BTW Cruxx knows what he is talking about, he beat me up in the sim a couple times.

What are schedules like at USA Jet? Do pilots get any hard days off, or are you on call 24/7?
