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...

Adding Phenom 300s and 10 large cabin jets...
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.
“We already have a dozen [entry-level] Phenom 100s and eight Cessna Citation CJ3 [light] business jets which are working really hard,” he says.
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??????
