They would need at least 10 big cabin jets to reduce some of the deadheading cost due to the type of flying it could do. The challenge is that JetSuite has the brand but nothing to offer beyond the CJ3 to parities that need more seats. Sure, they can charter multiple airplanes at once, but they need to provide a more complete range of options in markets like LA, SFO and TEB where the deeper pockets are located. For example, you see plenty of C750s, G200s and CL300s flying between the LA area & LAS.

I do believe the Phenom 300 will be more popular among passengers than the CJ3.

I'm interested in any FO job at JS, but don't understand the "Gateways", is it possible to live in Dallas and airline to your base?

JS cover the commute?

Was just looking for a little info before I submitted my resume.

Thanks

Not true. DAL is a Domicile, DFW is not. So yes you could report to and finish at DAL. Other cities in Texas are IAH and SAT. The only aircraft option at this time for those locations is the Phenom.

Going for the in person interview in a couple of weeks in Irvine.

Any ideas on what I should prep for?

What is dress for interview and reception? Business casual?

Where is training for Phenom conducted?

That’s a distinct possibility now that JetBlue has bought a piece of one of the nation’s more unusual airlines. It’s JetSuiteX, a small six-month old carrier that flies to only six West Coast airports, including Burbank Bob Hope, San Jose International and McClellan–Palomar Airport, near San Diego.

Time lapse

Does anyone here at work for JetSuiteX? They posted a time lapse video on Facebook from the left seat. I know 121 carriers have attempted to terminate crews for electronic devices in the while on duty. And they even post of the name of the pic 😬 Effectively ending his career for major. Why would they do this?????? I am hoping it was a part 91 fairy flight. They should take it down or at least remove the name of the PIC.

Um, there is an Endeavor video from the back of the left seat on "the tube". I would think if you get prior permission you won't get fired.

Please......lol.
