Read that 9 aircraft expected to be operated in the Northeast by end of 2013. I have heard they have hired some ex-Avantair pilots among others and initial sim training has started. Lots of growth planned around regional "clusters." Sounds like Southeast and Southwest are next after Northeast.

Heard pay is 70K for CAs. Yikes!

Does not sound too bad. I am a pilot looking to move back to the Northeast...wondering if this would be something to put "stakes down" on.
Question is can one make it at 70K with a family up in the Northeast...not sure, but am willing to explore the option.
Got to get info on where to send resume, and what their base(s) will be.

You think $70k is "not too bad"??? :erm:

Pilots are their own worst enemies...

"Not too bad", and yet he asks if a family can make it on that in the NE...

He's become "Brooks" in the Shawshank Redemption. He's an "instituitional Man" as Morgan Freeman puts it.
