Can anyone chime in on the XLS 8/6 floater pilot?
I can't, but I suffered the curse of being a floater on a different airframe;

Is it a legit 8/6, set in stone?
We're talking about JetLinx, right?
Nothing is ever set set in stone. On purpose.

Or just on paper?
Pretty much.
It'll be up to you to hold them to what you sign, as they'll never commit to/respect anything you sign.

 

I’ll bet they respect the training agreement if there is one.

 

Anything new at Jetlinx yet? There is so little information out there, it's hard to do anything with them. How much $ do new FOs expect to make? Still "8" hard days off per month? What's the deal with the, "12 Duty Days and 23 nights at home on average per month" in the job postings now?

Certainly not the airframes

Try a peak over at PPW (https://forums.*************.com), plenty of straight-poop JLA info there.

Still "8" hard days off per month?
It's "up" to eight now? Welcome to the 1990s/early 2000s.

"12 Duty Days and 23 nights at home on average per month"
Probably a lie, especially if you're a floater. You'll get used to it.

I can forward you, if you'd like, the PMs that I've sent to other folks, of my own experience, that hopefully saved them from making a bad employment decision.

 

Hello ,
Could someone let me know if the work conditions at JetLinx have improved ? QOL, schedule, pay etc.

 

Jet Linx Creates Career Pathway Program To Retain Pilots

Jet Linx Aviation rolled out a Time & Tenure Career Pathway program to attract and retain top talent with a “pro pilot culture.” The operator said the program is designed to provide stability and practicability for its pilots with defined titles and salary progression based on total time and time in type, along with tenure with the company.

Under the program, salary bands are formalized with a clear path from first officer to senior captain across Jet Linx’s light, midsize, super-midsize, and heavy jet fleets. The program rewards Jet Linx pilots for continued service with the company, along with their cumulative expertise in aircraft type. For light and midsize jets, Jet Linx is introducing junior captain and senior captain positions, respectively. Senior captains then carries up to the larger aircraft, providing more career advancement opportunities, it said.

"Jet Linx has always been committed to providing its pilots with the best possible working environment and opportunities for career advancement,” said company president and CEO Jamie Walker, adding the program was derived from feedback from flight crews.

Current pilots will be able to qualify as junior captains sooner than direct-entry captain requirements. The program also includes a senior captain bonus program, including at the time of promotion and on the anniversary of the promotion. Company pilots will have priority in upgrades and first access to open positions.

are they making any contract for new hire pilots?thx

 

Wanda ya mean?
Are new hires getting better terms?
Kinda. Eight whole days off/month, versus the six I got when I was there.
I get 14+/month now, not flying a beat up British made POS.

Then again, you could be a line guy, or an office person working 9-5 M-F and get 8 days off/month...
