So, if they have 2 734's, are they planning on acquiring two more for the other bases? I'm guessing they'll be for sports teams? What about schedules?

It would appear the 767 bases are included in the 4 cities. Could be wrong though.

It's 20 days a month how ever they decide it. Trying to go to 15on/15off. Jump seats are with JetBlue, UPS, and FEDEX.

Think they want you to live in base. I hear interviews in Miami next week. That is the rumor as I hear it !

I have never seen a jumpseat agreement with JetBlue and I am not sure the FEDEX and UPS are still available.

The schedule went from 6 on/3 off to 20 days in a row, they furloughed and/or changed your Captain seat to FO pay with one day notice, then everybody started to bail.

That's what I was told when I interviewed. I couldn't afford to live in base, and i was not going to commute. I'm not sure what will happen when they require all of their pilots to move to the 4 bases. Personally I think now is not the time to screw with your pilots. They will jump ship faster than you can train them. They have no idea what they are going to do after hockey?? Probably just furlough with no care in the world to their employees that have to pay bills.

Anyone considering working for this outfit should google those names of who is running this place. The two top individuals left Dynamic airways after they ran it into the ground, before that arrow Air, before that etc. do yourself a favor and move on and don't work here, you'll be sorry!

Keep looking kiddies. Do your homework before you apply. You will be happier and wealthier at a Regional. No B.S.
