Default Ifl 727

New ad for 727 Capts/FO/FE. Loredo base but IFL not its sister company, former sister?

Says excellent pay and bennies. Can anyone tell exactly what that means today?

Read great things about IFL but still think it may be on call 24/7.

Just curious where all these 135/121/129 cargo ops are going to find crews. They are all looking now but then so is everyone else!

If it's Laredo then it's most likely on call auto parts flying.

Considering they laid off their entire BRO staff I'd be Leary of a lrd base. 20 min call out and fairly low fo pay. This is also one of those companies that still only do soft days off. If you live down that way if guess northern cargo , everts, or Ameristar are better bets.

I think it means, it's a day off but you better answer your phone if they call you.

Soft day off: you where on call but didn't fly.

But you were always close, left it on the floor next to the shower when you bathed, put it on the night stand when you and your lady, um well I think you get the point. Doesn't this on call stuff sound great?

Currently hiring for our base in LRD (Laredo, TX). The schedule would be 20 days on and 10 days off. First year Captain salary is around $75,000. We fly on-demand freight for the auto industry.

Yikes! The ad on the Orange site is misleading with "Good Pay"!

The schedule is piquing my interest... travel on off days or on work days?

Tickets provided or buy my own?

Default Serious

aviatorhi, is that a serious question? I do not think IFL or any of these type carriers would be buying you anything. IFL has Cass and you are on your own Yes, that includes housing too. The 10 days off are not hard either. Did you read all the previous posts? I don't mean to be a wise ass but these companies have been covered in good detail.

You'll need serious 121 heavy time as well. Just ask yourself this, why do they, IFL, Everts, Ameristar, Sierra West and Amerflight keep advertising for crews?
