Default Small Community Airlines?

Is this for real?

Small Community Airlines is a regional commuter airline committed to providing quick, reliable and cost effective transportation between communities where little or no air service currently exists.

They are advertising for Jetstream Captains and FOs out of Dallas-Love.

Anyone got more info about these guys?

Welcome to Small Community Airlines

It looks legit, and that tail # checks out. I just wonder who they would be flying for. Hope that's not another code share for Southwest!

Looks like they will be operating out of DAL to smaller cities in Texas and Louisiana. Maybe EAS?

Hotel Waffles & Jimmy Dean Muffins (you can help yourself, but don't take too much) should suffice!!

Sounds like a fun job. Of course I say that, being in Nigeria flying at the moment, where anything sounds more appealing. LOL. Plus the base is in my hometown. I'll bet capt. pay is livable. Hope it works out for them and the pilots they hire.

In their letter to several Texas airports, they talk about having "peek" time departures. And they want their pilots to have a high school diploma? They should check to see if management has one.

At least they are jumpin' puddles in an actual puddle jumper. J31s are cheap: less than a million right out of heavy checks.
