USA Jet

[atpcliff]

Hi!

About 20% of USA Jet pilots commute from out of state. About 40% commute from within MI (too far to make the callout time if they're flying freight).

With the current pilot-hiring situation, it's easier to get hired outside of MI than it was.

As recently as 2 years ago, USA Jet had guys commuting from SEA, PHX, SAC and JAX. Previously they had a guy commuting from Alaska. I think the farthest now is MCI, but I don't know about all the new guys that are at USA Jet.

We had a new hire class again this week, with another scheduled for July. 2 more freight -9s to come on line soon.

Is it true that they are taking engines off the passenger planes to bring freighters online?

Actually it is three more cargo DC-9's and the engine from one pax bird are being borrowed while it is in check.

Is automotive so busy or is this new business?

Hi!

What IS the best place in the Whole Wide World To Work?

Based on my situation, I would say there is NO best place to work.

I guess if I could have any job I wanted, I would pick Gulfstream.
