USA Jet

[CUBMAN]

Anybody out there have the latest intel on USA Jet? I'm very familiar with them from years ago doing the cargo thing but things have changed a bit over the years. I'm talking about the interview, QOL, training, pay, etc.....thanks.

Just a heads up for anyone thinking about this company. Its a nice place to build time, but time comes at a cost. You will have no life, be married to your cell phone and fly 40-50 year old aircraft that are just about done with there usefullness.

This place has been slowly going out of biz for 6 years.

If you don't mind the above mentioned items then this place is for you but don't buy a house, you should rent if you get in there.

"This place has been slowly going out of biz for 6 years."

So, pretty much like every other airline in existence in the U.S. ...?

What is the pay like for pilots? I know the schedule can be brutal, is the compensation at least worth it??

 

[pilotyip]

Starting DA-20 $51+/hr 55 hr guar (34K/yr+ DC9 $57+/hr 55 hr guar (37K+). Top DA-2O CA 122+/hr, top DC-9 $175+/hr. money is made by breaking guar, then selling days to start doubling up, I have seen $25K paychecks for one month.

 

[John2375]

Hmmm. I could deal with $25k a month LOL
I'm not familiar with how "selling days" works - can you elaborate on that?

Is it a requirement to live in Detroit, or just helpful to do so? I could see being more than happy working hard for a couple weeks then getting a little extended time off; is that where trading or selling days off comes in?

You have DA20 11 or DC9 13 days off per month, you give back days to the company for money. The selling day rate depends upon seat and equipment, I think $250 for DA-20 F/O $700 for a DC-9 Capt. Selling a day; is where you tell the crew scheduler you are willing to sell days, then if a shortage arises, they call you to see if you want to pick up the days. This happens when we are busy like right now with March Madness starting on Wednesday.
