Flagship Private Air
I currently work for United and am not sure if I am safe from furlough. However, I wanted to pass along this info to anyone looking for employment. I came across Flagship Private Air while working my other job. They just started operations Dec. 3rd. They have 3 aircraft and are looking to expand. Do a google seach and check them out. I have talked with their marketing manager Erin Patton... Hope this helps someone... Also, if you live in chicago land area and are interested real estate investing/education, let me know.

I've got a good friend who just upgraded to Engineer with CSX after being a Conductor for 3-4 years. It seems like a decent deal. The biggest drawback that I could see would be the schedule. It may vary from place to place, though. He lives along the OH/WV border and he started with a 6 on/1 off schedule but he only went between his base and one other city; so it sounded like he worked 6 in a row but was home almost every other night. The best schedule that CSX has (at least at his location) is 8/3.
The pay is good and the pension is better. If he stays in for a career and retires, he'll get his pension and then his wife with get an additional pension of $1500/month just for being a railroader's wife.

Well, went to the "open house" for ConRail yesterday. OVER 300 people showed up. They were NOT expecting that many.
Anyway, took three tests, filled out an app. and now I wait. Similar to airline life.
They are a "terminal" rail out othis area. Home everyday(night). Seniority, "reserve", pay stinks at first, wait for upgrade...
1 day off a week, guaranteed 40 hours a week, 2 hour call out...
We'll see. I met a guy yesterday that left NJTransit because "upgrade" there was 18 years!!!
Pension/retirement is good if you are there for +30 years.
Back to the original topic, anybody have a contact for employment at Flagship Private Air?
