To clear everything up. Onejet had bit the dust, Ultimate has retracted their contract with OneJet and is still Ultimate Jetcharters. A number of the OneJet pilots now fly for Contour. As a result hiring has come to pretty much a standstill until something changes.

Seems to be running "normally" on Monday morning, with the two UJC planes flying for OneJet.

I commuted home to PIT yesterday on Republic and there was an Ultimate Jet Charter Dornier 328Jet parked at the gate that OneJet normally uses with the boarding door open. It was about 6:15PM. I think it was a OneJet flight# outbound to somewhere.

"A number of the OneJet pilots now fly for Contour.", is about the only thing accurate in jetstreamdriver's post. A bunch of PIT pilots decided to remain with CFM doing a "homebase" type schedule. These guys are gone 7-8 days at a time while maintaining a 18-20 day a month obligation for $75k (capt) or $40k (f/o) a year.

Pittsburgh paper had a story yesterday, OneJet is in serious danger of losing 1 million dollars in incentive money, they have dropped numerous routes out of Pitt with no explanation.
Anyone want to bet they are toast by labor day ?

I never could understand how they could possibly make any money given the high costs of operating corporate jets, the per seat costs are astronomical.
Buffalo to Albany route is averaging just 15 passengers per flight, they can not possibly be turning a profit.
Did the deal fall through to actually purchase Ultimate Jet ? Strange that OneJet is not mentioned or shown anywhere on Ultimate's web page.
