The bottom feeders are looking for a crew scheduler.... not just a crew scheduler... but a part 121 crew scheduler.
I wonder if the lucky individual will have to pay for their own training too

Falcon Air Express "Invitation" letter.
A friend sent me this email a couple of months ago. Does any current for former Falcon crew care to comment?
A separate attachment contained the $20,000 training bond for the first 18mo. There was nothing mentioned about prorating.

Falcon Air Express is putting together an initial new hire class to fly Falcon’s MD-80 Aircraft. The pilots in this class will be assigned to any of Falcon’s bases. Those bases are Mesa, AZ (IWA), Alexandria, LA. The most likely bases are AEX and IWA at the current time. Other base assignments are also possible as determined by the business as it evolves. Falcon also currently has a Miami, FL (MIA) base and when openings occur, bids will be open and assignments to other bases are also possible.
A review of your resume would indicate that you possess the qualification for direct hire into Falcon Air Express as a First Officer. We are trying to fill a class on a very short notice. To speed the application process along, if you can accept the conditions that are outlined in this information, please go to our website http://www.flyfalconair.com/ and go to the JOIN US tab. That will take you to a page with a list of application types in the lower left hand side of the new page. Click on the “FLIGHT CREW” tab, print the application out, complete the application and either scan in or photograph all pages and send them, along with a copy of your resume, to XXX
The Company also has a policy of a six month probation period for pilots. During that probation period, the Company may discharge a person without recourse.
The primary mission of the airline at the moment is, and will be, to service Immigration and Customs Enforcement Repatriation Programs. These flights include high risk deportees, but we also carry a contingent of guards, ICE Officer(s) and nurses to assure that the repatriates are carried safely.
Other charters are flown as well, but the ICE flights are the current primary flying in Mesa and any other bases that will be created inside the U.S. for the immediate future.
All of which is always subject to change without notice. The fact of the matter is that changes to the changes will probably occur without notice! Responding to changes in a positive manner is a valued character trait in Falcon Air Pilots.
The time off scheduled may not support commuting pilots. If the position is accepted, Falcon expects that the persons who accept the position must understand and accept that they will be available in the base on all days of duty. The expectation is that almost all days off will be scheduled for Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays, when there is very little ICE flying, except for those who are on reserve to cover possible charters.
This is a position that is subject to the alcohol and drug testing requirements of FAR 120. A negative pre-employment drug test will be required before an invitation to come to class can be issued.
Successful candidates will be responsible for their own transportation to the Falcon Air Express (FAE) Training Center in Doral, FL (about four miles west of Miami International Airport). FAE will provide air transportation upon your successful completion of training to OE assignment, and upon completion of OE to the major air carrier scheduled airport nearest your home of record. FAE will provide accommodations for the first 30 calendar days from the assigned date of arrival in the base.
Falcon Air will pay fifty dollars ($50.00) per day during training to pay for a pilot’s meals and expenses for the period of time from the first day of ground school until all simulator training is complete. The reimbursement for expenses will be paid in the following manner:
1. Upon successful completion of the first 15 days of training, the initial increment of $750.00 will be paid.
2. Upon successful completion of the second 15 days of training the second increment of $750.00 will be paid.
3. Upon successful completion of all simulator training the third increment will be paid up from the 30th day of training until the last day of simulator training. The Company will make a good faith effort to see that this increment is paid before the student’s departure for Operating Experience.
The reimbursement for expenses will not be paid for any period of time that training is interrupted and the pilot is not assigned to training for any reason.
Falcon will also pick up the accommodations charges at the Extended Stay Inn or provide a bedroom in a company apartment during the training period. Should you desire to arrange your own accommodations, at your own expense, that is your choice.
The training is scheduled for a minimum of 46 days. We need you on the line as soon as possible, so it is in Falcon Air’s best interest to move the training along. There is no guarantee that the training will be conducted on that schedule, but that is the plan. Most training weeks will be six days. The availability of instructors and simulator time may extend the training further than 46 days, but that is something that Falcon does not completely control.
Your OE will be paid at the hourly FO pay rate of $51.30 per hour. When you complete your OE, you will be on guarantee of 67 hours per month.
Once qualified, Per diem is payable at $1.50 per hour Domestic (North America) or $2.20 per hour International (Central & South America and the Caribbean). Per diem is paid only for overnight trips where a hotel stay is involved. During day (or night) trips where no overnight hotel stays are utilized there is a ten dollar per day override as a meal allowance. Falcon does not normally cater the aircraft, so we encourage crewmembers to bring their own food on flights.
Management is working on shared cost group medical insurance for the Mesa Base, it is not currently available.
If you wish to be considered for one of the available First Officer slots in the upcoming class, please send a completed Falcon Air Express Application, as explained above, to XXX
Once we have your qualifications and other information, we will contact you for an interview, probably by phone. If we elect, we will contact you to take a pre-employment drug test. Once that is complete, there may be additional interviews and we will make a decision. If you are a successful candidate, we will assign you to a class.

Noticed on the "Orange" web site that that Falcon is looking for MD83 F/Os.
Let me guess.
Either Falcon is expanding; or
They can't hang on to their F/Os
