Regarding #1, the application may say something like, "Mountain Aviation is wholly owned by Wheels Up..." Even then, you could always be switched to anther certificate. There's been a couple of guys who got switched to Mountain or Alante in the previous 3 months. The company is slowly working on combining all of the operating certs.

Also.... Nearly forgot. Wheels Up doesn't do SIC Types. You'll be sent for a PIC Type Rating in whatever you are hired to fly.

Any updates on the king air or beechjet side of things at WUP? How have pilot incentive pay changes affected your income? Max duty day, min rest days?

How senior does this go? And what airframe? And is this real?

I was told recently by a recruiter that this is real, but they don't hire into it - you'd have to drop to it after being full-time first. They were soliciting me for the 350i.

Question: Did you knowingly take the job and sign the training contract?

I知 sure they did. However, the job becomes significantly less appealing when it痴 July and you池e soaked in sweat, tired, and hungry. I知 betting the recruiters downplay the challenging parts of the job.

Take it to a local attorney and see what they think. Shouldn稚 cost more than a couple of 100 bucks.
