Alot of the flights cxld were old Orange air stuff we did at request of Branson air express. We did cancel RFD EWR service all together due to lack of interest. All Branson service ceases this time of year anyhow. Yes mostly charter now and all planes are flying every day with that.

 

Any latest? Is Sean A still the C.P.? Thanks.

Labelled as Public Charters.

Website says they now have 6 CRJ-200s and 4 CRJ-700s.

At MLB, they park beneath the wings of old 747 freighters, some of which have engines.

 

we will have a class of 10-14 in next few weeks. looking for people with RJ time. Shawn is still CP and a great group of guys. we have our own Sim instructors and gearing up for growth. Just had a class of 19 FA's. Currently 7 CRJ 200's and 5 CRJ 700's 2 700's on line and other 3 going through conformity checks. They came from Lufthansa city line so all logbooks need to be logged into MX computer system. 13 yrs worth of paperwork!
we also just became a full 121 domestic carrier.

 

Thanks Com! I am rated but not current. Bases, pay, bennies etc???

 

FO pay is $40k. CA is $72k. Company health vision dental is united health care and paid for by the company at no cost to you. $25k life insurance policy at no cost to you. Perdiem on the low side of $35 a day. Schedule is a loose week on/off, meaning could be out for 5 and off 5 or 7 on off just depends. Lot more scheduled service coming online, most of our scheduled service has good loads.
I do know pay is an issue because it's a flat scale that doesn't increase with longevity. This is a major turnoff to a lot of people. I think management is realizing this and is about to make the step in the right direction with an upcoming announcement on pay increases on the next conference call. Lots of growth supposedly coming but not a bad gig if the pay increases are confirmed next month.
The CL-65 type is not a requirement.

 

Thanks flymia.

 

Where do most trips originate? Where are typical overnights? Thanks!

 

Home based gig?

 

Is Elite affiliated with Maine Aviation at all?
