I was just taxiing in tonight at JFK and saw Maxjet taxiing on the ramp. I thought to myself "I wonder how things are going over there." Then I come home and see they stopped operations on this of all days. It is one thing for a company to fail, but don't tell me these guys HAD to shut down today...that's just not right.
I hope you guys all find good jobs soon and don't ever have to deal with an airline shutdown again.
If you're still game for the airlines, many of our new hires are going right to the 767 International operation....we (Delta) could always use more people with experience.
In any case, best wishes and I hope you get to spend some time with family over the holidays.

I think this is a good thing for EOS (Maxjet going under), one less competitor and I don't think they'll be the next or even one of the next 5 carriers that get hurt by oil prices but I don't know of any airline that has their business model built on $100 oil...sure FedEx and UPS will make $$$ even at that price but who else is going to make enough to give their 767 capts the $200+/hr they enjoyed pre 9/11? You can't make bad decisions with oil this high, there is NO room for error. Didn't Big Sky just pull out of the east coast? Is oil hurting even the B-1900 operators?
Once again, crappy timing and I wish all the best to everyone at Maxjet.

Eos hiring
The Eos Chief Pilot and D.O. have indicated that they would give "preferencial interviews" to all Maxjet crewmembers. They say that they will be hiring at least 10 front end folks a month for some time to come.
Good luck to all, hate to hear the bad news.

my last paycheck bounced -- i even deposited it on the 14th but on the 24 th it was miraculously denied?
BS.. i though employees always got their last paycheck? anyone care to shed some light on the issue, $400 is $400--i mean people are still getting paid becuase the payroll is still there so why cant i get paid, in fact i asked him if he was working for free and will i get paid, he had no answer.

Sad to hear about this.. I was at Gemini and we'd see MaxJet pilots always as they were two floors below us in the IAD office.. good group of guys. I hope they can land a job soon. I know there are opportunities out there, but it's hard to just up and change sometimes. I feel for them.
