Heard through the proverbial grapevine they were finished hiring for this year, but plan to pick up beginning of '09 to fill seats of aircraft scheduled be delivered.

I've got a few friends there, the flying is alot different from an airline. Some months you fly alot others almost none, it depends on what the customers want. What I remember I think they were averaging 60-70 hours a month over a years time. Their bases are kind of like netjets you can pick where you want to go but with some limitations. Apparently, they can assign you a base if they need people somewhere.

However, if you take the job at one of the 30 some open gateways then that is your gateway forever. Even if the company later closes your base you will not be kicked out of the gateway...you are grandfathered.
There is ZERO chance you will be "re-assigned" to some other base. That would be outrageous and is totally not true.

Portland OR and Seattle of 2 of our newer bases and I know that they are looking to put folks into the west coast to help minimize airling folks from the east coast. Put your stuff in.
