Chief pilot's best friend drives the skybus ,, says thier filling seats and selling soda and sandwiches. they had thier computer system go down and didnt have a land line to dispatch so that was a big cluster.

At 30K a year? Horrible benifits? Any person who took that job would be doing their family a great disservice. Virtually everyone is hiring.

Believe me... We are not trying to turn you away because we are jealous of your skybus.com generic email. Do some research on here and find out why we all can not stand them, or the pilots who lowered their standards to fly for them.

I would question if working showed for Skybus showed a lack of integrity and judgement... as a regional FO I could easily pull in 5K less than a Skybus Captain on salary this year... When you leave Skybus now your company will be competing against the the wages that you helped standardize at Skybus. Just a thought.

I was hired without large jet time...so were several others in my class. One flew nothing larger than a Dash 8. It doesn't justify selling your soul to fly an Airbus for peanuts because it can be done without it.

Thanks for the info on skybus. I'm going to stick with the Part 91 job that I just got offered for now. I want to move over to the 121 side eventually but not to go from 110K down to 30K to do it. There would have to be something better than what the have to offer to make the change right now.
