Yes. WAI.org. The Women's conference is in Nashville March 10-12. I'll be there. Xojet will also be there and they love the face to face.

 

Oh...OK. Thanks for that. Who do you work for?

 

That's the most interesting rumor that I've heard here in a very long time. I thought that UPS practiced "scorched earth" by destroying their old airframes so that no competitor could use the planes against them.

It would be fun if true though..

 

My idea of airline humor B727. I seriously doubt you'd ever see those 727s again. Now Asia Pacific is looking for FOs in Guam.

 

Anyone have any recent info about hiring, growth, pay, schedules? Seems like a decent place to be from what I gather on here and the few interactions I have had with JS crews. I applied to a posting for west coast FOs and I live in the Bay Area... Good, bad or in between anyone have anything? Thanks!

 

There was a rumor that JS was going to acquire some bigger airframes. I guess there was an ad for flight attendants or something like that. It hasn't happened yet as far as I can tell even though it would seem like a natural progression given their growing customer base. I guess time will tell...

 

They've acquired a few old AE Embraer 135's and are planning to conduct scheduled 135 service with them under the brand "Jet Suite Deluxe" or something of that nature. They were doing practice passenger loading today at KSNA.

 

Hot off the presses:

JetSuite to revamp fleet with new light and large-cabin jetsUS air taxi company JetSuite is planning a major revamp of its business jet fleet to exploit the growing appetite in the USA for its branded, low-cost charter service.

The operator’s will add with 10 Embraer Phenom 300s over the coming year and will also add up to 10 large-cabin jets over the same period, “to accommodate those customers looking to fly further and/or with more passengers,” he adds.

Wilcox will not disclose until the end of March which large-cabin type JetSuite has selected. However, it is likely to be the Embraer Legacy 600/650, in keeping with the company’s strategy to stick with a single manufacturer fleet.

“We operate a point-to-point and coast-to-coast service with the Phenom 100s and CJ3s,” Wilcox says. “The large-cabin aircraft will open up new markets, notably Latin America, which is becoming an increasingly popular destination.”

The Orange County, California-headquartered company is the seventh largest business aircraft operator in the USA in terms of aircraft revenue hours. Each model flies more than 100h per month: “more than twice the utilization of a typical Part 135 aircraft,” says Wilcox.

 

I just re-read the press release and this line does not make sense:

"However, it is likely to be the Embraer Legacy 600/650, in keeping with the company’s strategy to stick with a single manufacturer fleet."

Isn't JetSuite currently operating both Phenom 100s and Cessna CJ3s? Aren't they manufactured by different companies??????

 

Just started working here and I am almost done with initial at CAE. The culture is awesome and the schedule and pay great. Lots of great stuff coming in the near future!
