Where does someone apply for the Citation X jobs now? Mountain has had opening listed... but will they do the hiring now?

no idea, that’s way above my pay grade. I would guess Mountain would be the contact for those questions...at least in the near term.

thanks for the reply. It seems like a moving target trying to apply at any of the subsidiaries.

Default Yearly bonus

Is it true that the Gama pilots get a yearly bonus?
Does TMC and DPJ get one also?

$2500

The $2500 is a one time thing (we’ve usually gotten a $1000 bonus at Xmas, not this year tho) for all the work Gama has done to create the WU brand. As of now DPJ and TMC aren’t getting it as well, makes sense considering they didn’t contribute to building the WU name or do any of the flying until this last year. Also was said in the coming months a “compensation package” with all benefits for pilots will be coming out. Smells like they’re referring to stock options. Big moves for WU pilots coming

the info given to the pilots is that nothing will change with mountain and they will continue with the same day to day as before including their flying etc, so I believe you would apply directly to mountain

It was a pleasant surprise. Some of us have been here since the schedule was 6 on 3 off and we had to drive several hours to the nearest base. All things considered, I think Gama has done a remarkable job supporting what was essentially a start up. It's nice to get some recognition in the way of a financial high five. Looks like the higher ups are getting ready to pass the baton now though. The Wheels Up training wheels are coming off.

not to mention the reduced schedules/furloughs and corresponding pay cuts over the summer, and the temporarily frozen longevity raises.
It is definitely a much appreciated, unexpected surprise.

Exactly, for a lot of us it was just repayment for lost wages at that time anyways. Regardless still really nice to get, a chunk of change like that

Got a DPJ (Now Wheels Up Jets) pool update this am -- 'sometime this spring' as operational needs dictate for any potential classes.
