Don't waste your time. You won't have a job in 6 months.

So what’s the rumors?
I do know they were going to crew the Stansted base this year for XL, but there not there.

 

[Loosediamondfl]

They are a company owned I think by Vacation Express..Don't go there~~

 

[Frap]

but there not there.

:laugh: ...

Used to be Casino Express from Elko Nevada. They managed to survive thru some bad times in the past, but i guess with the New D.O.(who is a real scamp) and the Lady Prez..they really squandered the Irish lute.
What a pity

Not true. vacation Express is a travel company never has owned any aircraft just had contracts with airlines.

What are the mins?

 

[thunderworm]

they want at least 2500 tt but if you come in with over 4000 and some pic turbine you are looking at a possibly quick upgrade less than a year. they do contract flying for travlespan and some casinos. geez i hope people there have a job in 6 months. i know some who work there and they haven't heard that rumor but you must know more than they do. they are backed by excell from europe and the rumor is they still might crew the stanford base in fl but that won;t happen until dec. i don't know the do and prez personally so i can't answer to that one.

bases are JFK, MYR and ENV. 737-400s and 800s. Been around for 16 years, made it through some pretty tough times, still kicking.

Mom and pop place, some stuff is good, some things will drive you crazy. I like it here. We do alot of charters outside of the sched stuff too. Pay is low, but most are having a great time. Dont see that much anymore.

FO-$43/hr first year
CA-$75/hr (first,then 83,88,93,etc.)

70 hr guar. Junior base is JFK.

I was offered an interview this past January, and turned it down. If I had been hired, I would have been furloughed shortly after. You guys have shrunk in fleet, and crews since then according to the info on APC.

 

[fandango]

well, since we have had several classes since your contact with the company, I am not sure how you are coming up with that, but oh well. Good luck where ever you choose to go.

Like I said, apc.com shows less a/c and pilots than it did when I was interested. Quite a few to be exact. Either way, glad you are still there.

 

[Jonahproject]

[fandango]
