Default Info on Lynx

Hey just wondering if anyine had any hiring info on Lynx. Are they going to be another underpaid startup dragging the industry down or are they actually going to be reputable. I would love to find an excuse to move to Denver.

option 1. If you want to be in DEN go to RAH, or Skywest.

A regional started by Frontier to serve markets around the 650 mile range. They fly Q400's, just took delivery of the first one and will start service on October 1st.

Captains will be paid 50.00 per hr now? Initially it was 43.00 per hr.

Why fly a big prop when you can easily get hired by other jet operators in the area (Skywest, Republic, etc.)? Wouldn't you rather have jet time in return for the same low pay? I doubt the upgrade time to PIC will be that much faster...

Apparently... just quoting the job posting on careerbuilder.com.

Either way it's too low... Even 1st year CA on the Q400 at colgan is higher
