I just saw my friend today that works for Linear air. He told me they are getting the VLJ's in Dec. They are still hiring and continue to hire. Their mins are 1500tt 300multi. I had been semi considering it myself. Getting tried of instructing or lack of with the several days of rain. I have 1100tt 150 multi and he told me I had plenty of time, so they seem flexable. He said they fly as much as a 100hrs a month, generally spend 3wks in Jan in the caribbean flying cargo. They are also going to start doing longer trips with the VLJ's maybe BED to DC. Good luck
