Pretty bad news coverage this week for VIA. Left passengers stranded on flight from OKC to Austin?

Not their finest day. I’m told they tried to solve a flight cancellation by having another flight come from it’s outstation flight, over to the other outstation, to then take the pax from both flights to the hub. Sounds great, leave nobody behind.... until the plane breaks at the mid stop.
Then add in a poorly trained station agent that probably hadn’t been given the authority to be creative like awarding free tickets on future flights. Definately not their best day. It’s an under 3 year old airline still learning.

Any of that 2900 turbine, or EFIS, or FMS?
They do have a 401k, I do not recall the match
They had a training contract, but have never actually enforced it
Training Orlando ground, Houston or STL for sim
The have replaced the DO, VP flight ops, and an HR manager
Health insurance is BCBS of FL and a family plan loaded up is about $800 when all is added up for all coverages.

Seriously, if you can deal with schedules being given to you very late. Schedules changing (not dates, but assignments on the dates changing) then you’ll like it there. Get your time off requests in and they make it work the vast majority of the time.
While there, you’ll either be short call in a hotel, or flying a max duty day load of flights.
If you live in Orlando or Austin you’ll really love the place as you’ll be home each night barring mechanicals and weather. If you live elsewhere you’ll love not having to commute, and never needing a crash pad. They will two leg you home from work to save $50 bucks though.

37 year old company, bought 3-4 years ago, taken 121 two years ago.
They’re still learning, and open to suggestions from experienced folks.

In your case, I’d apply anyway. You meet the mins for the FO side.

Did KU leave HR?

I heard they have 3 on aug class which never finished and have not get paid and FAA is all over and 6 Pilot left etc .

What a mess pilots need to put out with for a crappy flying jobs .

I am just surprised how this unsafe and shady operation is still in business. After all of the stuff I hear about them from the guys who work there and with the last customer service issues they had , I just sit at home and enjoy and laugh at this place, personally, i was there a very short time, good people on the line, but the cocky management and idiots who lead this pilot group such as the demo guy and midget chief pilot, they deserve all this. Its all Karma from the way they treated some of the well professional guys on the line. Dont see this place lasting long. I still laugh my lungs out from that stupid assistant chief pilot who said we will compete and overtake our competitors such as Jetblue etc. Just shut up dude, one of the most stupid assistant chief pilot and chief pilot combo I have seen. Glad i left them and today I am in a widebody outfit in my career airline.

They had a second group starting, sent the first group home for two weeks to run them all through together is what I heard.

Also heard it was four resignations, and that three decided to come right back. Apparently they tried a change this or we quit type of thing. One went to Endeavor. Two prior employees that left in March are also either back or coming back.

There’s a Via thread in the regionals OTHER section now too.

Demo left in March. Definately a stepping stone regional job, but aren’t they all? Glad you found your destination job.

Do you guys have a JS agreement with Southwest? I live in Dallas, would it be possible to maximize by days at home by riding on SWA, or is that not feasible?
