Low time FO hiring gone at Jetsuitex?
JetsuiteX has kept an ad up for FOs on the EMB135 since November and they seem to be more in line (or exceed) regional qualifications. I heard JetsuiteX was having a bit of an overhaul and is this a part of it?
Here is the list of qualifications:
Qualifications
Education and Experience:
1500 hours of total flight time may be considered (3000 Total flight time preferred ) to include 500 hours Pilot-In-Command and 250 hours Multi-Engine Land
Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate or Commercial Certificate with ATP written accomplished.
FAA First Class Medical Certificate
Valid and Current Passport
FCC Restricted Radiotelephone Operators permit
Must be fluent in the English language
Here is the ad (which I think has expired):
https://jobs.aviationjobnet.com/job/...suitex-emb135/
So, it looks like hiring at 500 hours or below is gone, right?
The ad also outlines FO responsibilities as described by Part 91.3. Is this a goof by recruiting or is that right? I thought JetsuiteX was Part 135 and Jetsuite Inc. was Part 91.3.

Jetsuite Inc (company umbrella) holds the certificates to both companies. Jetsuite Inc is the light jet side doing 135 charter. Jetsuite X is also 135 doing Part 380 scheduled flights. The hiring is going back to higher time FO’s as they had some problems with the low time guys / gals getting through IOE.
The group on both sides is one of the best I have ever worked with. I was a FO on the 100 and a captain on the 135. Flying is fun, overnights are also a blast when you have them (X side). New pay scale is getting closer to “standard” but still lacking compared to the regionals with bonus and “flow” / career progression. I’m sure current pilots will be along to add on.

I applied a couple weeks ago and haven't heard anything yet. I am sitting just under the 1,500 hours total, about 370 multi and 150 in the ERJ. My fingers are crossed that I'll hear something soon. Sounds like a great company and I live very close to BUR.

Question is: can I reasonably expect to get through training sometime this year? I'm trying my best to stay in contact with management but it's sort of been hit or miss getting any info out of them about class dates. I'm very, very excited to get started with JSX, but it seems to be getting farther and farther away. If anyone has any answers, I'd greatly appreciate the feedback!

I was turned down and told to re-apply when I have a little more experience. I've got 1,400tt, 400 multi, and roughly 140 in the ERJ135. I'm ok with that, and I'll keep truckin along and re-apply.
