Air Fuga
 
Anyone know anything about Air Fuga. I never see any pilot jobs advertised and nothing spoken of them anywhere.

They are merging with a company I used to work for. Not sure what that means for either company. My guess is that it is a last ditch effort to save both companies but I could be wrong. From what I know, their schedule is 14/7, not sure on the pay.

Last time they advertised for a BE-400 pilot they only offered 55-60k. That's crap.

Ouch, Not good.

I spoke to a couple guys at Deer Valley the other day and they said that Fuga are operating a white orange black striped Embraer 135. Fuga don't own the plane this company called Jetgo own the plane. I've also heard that this Jetgo outfit is pretty shady and they are nothing but used car salesman. I guess beware!!

Gentlemen, I appreciate your interest in Air Fuga. To dispel any inaccurate information let me share the following:
Fuga has been in operations since 2007. It was founded by Robert and Nanette Salvo and remains a family run business to this day. Fuga currently operates 10 aircraft which includes the 30 passenger EMB you mentioned. This aircraft is owned by JetGO which is an Australian Part 121 operation (not as mentioned, by a shady used car salesman) Aircraft are based in Deer Valley Arizona, Los Angeles Calf. and Oakland Calf. Fuga operates GIV's, Falcon 50's, Falcon 2000, Hawker 1000 and Lear 55's. Fuga has tripled its growth in the last year. Fuga has not merged with any operation with the intent of strengthening its financials as Fuga is financed by a outside investment group. Fuga has taken on a number of aircraft from other operators at the operator's request for a variety of business reasons. We operate very much like a Part 121 operation as the founders are former Airline flight crew and wished to instill in Fuga the same level of safety and professionalism they had previously experience under a scheduled operation. We have recruited a number of new highly qualified fight crew over the last year and continue to do so as new aircraft arrive. We promote from within and have a low turn over rate.
I hope this helps to answer some of your questions and dispel the rumors.
Kindest regards,
Bob Salvo
CEO FUGA

Can you comment on why you pay your pilots tens of thousands of dollars less than industry averages?

Because pilots apply for and accept the jobs.
