Skengdon, I loved it, i was there from dec99--may 05, up until 2003 i flew thier 2 MD-83`s (N191AJ+N192AJ) i think they went to Spirit, then they trained me on the A320/321, and i flew those until may last year. while i was on the MD i lived in Kingston which is a bit like the "wild wild west" but its the usual situation where u just don`t go into some areas, in may 0f 2003 they x-sfered me to Montego Bay well that is a super awesomely beautiful place. they will only hire you if you are PIC qualified, and have a 320 rating, (atlhough i hear that they are getting 757`s) the pay was about 10,000 a month after tax, and u got 10 days off per month, 21 days leave a year, 12 sick days, and that is one airline that treats a capt like a capt all in all a great airline, finally i had worked for B.W.I.A. for 30 years, and never thought i would say that another airline had tougher and better training but pheww Air Jam has some really high standards, thier training is superb.
