Via Airlines
 
I’ve been with Via Airlines for a couple of years now and things are finally looking up.It was pretty grim for a while there. New management is changing the business plan to more scheduled service and we are getting a 145 fleet. Finally some good news. So glad I stuck it out. If there are any 135/145 drivers interested I know we are hiring.

I beg to differ. Your company called me almost 2 months ago for a phone interview. A month later the DO called me and asked if I could go into the next class which was 10 days away, I said no. He said they would place me in the 7/27 class, and that HR would be in touch. After repeated calls to him, which mostly were not answered or returned, I decided to forget it. I'm glad I trusted my gut instinct, and did not give my current company notice based on his bull. I see incompetence, foolishness, and a haphazard company, HR touts itself as a one woman show!!!

Last I heard 29K. No information on the schedule. That being said, when I was hiring for my last company I had several applicants who had just started, looking to get out.

Buddy of mine just got offered home based, $35K for E120. Don't recall what he said for schedule.

Not sure on CASS. But my buddy has around 900-1000 hrs.

flyboy275 10-10-2015 11:35 AM

Same here,

I have right at 1000 hours with most of that 135 crew time. Emailed them twice and haven't heard a word! I figured I would at least hear a "Thanks, but no thanks" email.

Is what it is I guess

thusitha1986 11-07-2015 03:43 PM

Few question?
How many hours do you fly as a FO EMB120?
What are the chance of flying 100hrs/month?

Also, as a FO for part 135 opp, can you long cross country time toward your ATP minimums?

Please let me know, thanks

As far as I know they do not participate in CASS. They are a charter company.

EMScapt 01-06-2016 04:36 PM

I gather that this used to be Charter Air Transport. I see a ton of negative comments about said company. Does anyone have anything positive to say about Via? Is it the same place with a new name? Or have things changed for the better?

EMScapt 01-06-2016 04:39 PM

Also, they advertise part time positions online...anyone tried this? How does it work?

aviator493 03-03-2016 12:11 PM

I asked about part time. They said no...

Resurrect thread...
 
Sorry to resurrect this old thread. I see Via is flying DFW to Branson starting in May. Does anyone know if they take jumpseaters? Also, any chance of buying an ID90 for my family?

We love visiting Branson in the summertime.

I just quit but they will take jump sweaters for other carriers... ID90 I don't believe they do anything like that... this place is no where near an airline by any means

ZapBrannigan 04-01-2017 06:17 PM

Thanks for the info Jeff. Ticket prices aren't awful, but you know pilots. Always trying to save a buck.

As long as your ID doesn't say NAI on it, you are welcome in my jumpseat (assuming you are in CASS of course).
