USA Jet Needs Pilots-Loves Mil Guys

[N817AA]

I guess you need to let the scheduler know the Falcon gets 11 days off. She only makes lines with 10 off and has been for quite a while. Same goes for the 9 they've only been getting 12 days off instead of 13.

Hard to believe pilots and dispatchers arn't riding the same wave. ******************** happens everywhere. Least it's 7 on 7 off at Netjets.

817 come on lets do the math together 10 days off every 28 days, times 13 bid periods per year equals 130 days, divided by 12 months equals 10.84 day off per month, lets round up to eleven. Do we have to do the same math for the DC-9? It comes out to an even 13 days. Pay attention in ground school and read your pilot policy handbook.

Reserve line, everything in cargo is a reserve line with a 25-minute call out. 24 hours a day, except when in rest or on days off.

Pilotyip, what regulations make this kind of schedule legal? No flame, I'm genuinely interested. My understanding of 121 (stress "my understanding") is that if you have an obligation to the company (on the pager) you are not "at rest". Are the rest requirements different for part 125? I am not at all familiar with "on demand" cargo operation, but understand that this is pretty standard.

my guess is the falcons (what you'd start on) are on a 135 cert where "you didn't work so that was a day off" is allowed. Works for some not for others.

Hi!

USA Jet Airlines is very military friendly, and is looking for a number of new guys starting now. They plan on hiring 12-20 or so pilots through the summer (they only have about 80 now). If you graduated from a FW school, you're in. If you graduated RW, you only need 100 ME FW to meet their insurance mins. The military success rate for new-hires/upgrades is 100% (civilian is about 93%).

Start flying freight on the Falcon 20, base $33K, 10 days off every 28-very flexible schedules-most holidays off. Move to the DC-9 within about a year, flying freight and/or PAX. 12 days off base $36K. Last year the -9 FOs made about $50k average.

Upgrade to Falcon capt is about 2 years-3rd yr capt pay is about $53K. Upgrade to -9 Capt is about 5-7 years. Max base is now under $100K, but many guys made over that. Last year our #1 guy made about $35K in Sep.

It is a decent company. In the last 4 years, we've had only one active duty guy (helo) who didn't like it. We've had 1 AF guard guy who didn't like it.

Here on flightinfo.com PilotYIP is the recruiter-PM him for info on applying.

If U want detailed info, PM me.

So is Cliff a new recruiter there. He must be getting paid per thread he starts. They are everywhere I look.

No Cliffy is just another typical enthuastic former rotor wing USA Jet pilot, who knows he has made a great career choice. He wants to spread the good word out into the hinter lands, so that all will know of the great things at USA Jet Airlines that wait for other rotor wing pilots.

I saw one of the USA jets in TCL today. That Falcon looked like she'd seen better days. As a former freight dog I know that alot of the ships are like the Millenium Falcon that Han Solo flew in Star Wars..."She may not look like much kid, but she's got it where it counts".

 

[JFReservist]

where are the crew bases?

 

[pilotyip]

YIP is the place, where else would one expect?
