I know they just got a BOS base. Its actually Pease airport PSM in New Hampshire. I thinks its temporary though. They are filling in for Pan AM on the TNT vacations to CAN and Punta Cuna. Thats all I know. I know someone who has worked charters with them I'll see what he says.

What's the QOL? Schedules? Commutable lines? Good or bad place to work?
Would anyone leave a regional for this place??

I know a few people who have worked there and it wasn't so great. Low pay, sporadic upgrades and shifting bases.

Thanks!

Kinda thought it would be a big gamble to maybe go there and upgrade just to get the 737 Type with hopes of jumping to Southwest.....

My luck something would happen before I got the type and end up on the street!

I have heard lots of negative things about these guys. Check their FAA record before you go.

After you upgrade to Captain, you go back to starting year 1 pay. The pay sucks too!
