Air Crew 360
I see it as a step in the right direction. By virtue of the items they are addressing--albeit in small ways in many cases--it shows they are at least hearing the things that create issues for us on the road as well as the pay. Nice that we don't have to "Mother may I for a GrubHub order each day," and since I've only had a couple days that were NOT 4, 5, or 6 leg days the little bit of extra pay will be nice; should add up to $500-$1000 more per week on the road. Seems like they really need to be addressing staffing at Ops as well. I often try to call and the phone just rings and rings.

Anyone wondering about coming to WUP now private message me. I’ve been in the Gama fleet for 3 years and can give you the honest pros and cons, along with the true details of the 360 program they’ve rolled out. Plus there’s a sizable bonus for referrals, so we’ll both win if you decide it’s right for you. If you’re thinking WUP might be the company for you, now is the time to get your seniority number. PMs are open

I’m on the King air, you couldn’t pay me enough to go fly the beech jet lol. Advantage is much newer avionics and planes, disadvantage is you’re going .50ish vs .72ish
