Exclamation Miami Air

Anybody with any information about Miami Air? How is the pay? QOL? How many days a month can I expect to be out working (I know they fly all over the world)? How is the magnt? Maintenance? Would I have to leave in Miami (is Orlando too far)? Basically: is Miami Air a good place to go to? Thanks a lot for anybody who will post.

I understand that they want you to have a 737 rating. I also hear that it is good if you are fluent in spanish. I am pretty sure that they also operate 727s. They fly alot of government contracts...I met a guy who was an FO there...nice guy. Says they are flying troops to Iraq and Afgan.

Not my cup o tea' G...

Not at Miami Air myself, but a close friend is.
737-800 and 737-400 (replacing the 727) with 65-70 seats configuration. International flying, 3 year pro-rated training contract (18 or 24K ), 3-5 years upgrades. Rather low payscale, but contracted is in negotiations (don`t hold your breath).
My buddy likes it, he came from 135 and enjoys the schedule, But not for everybody.
good luck

The aircraft are relatively new and in excellent condition. They heavy crew the 737-800s s they fly alot of DOD trips and fly half way round the world with just a fueling stop.

Pay is very low for the work performed, but you will build up alot of flying time and international experience that you can't get flying commuters or regionals.

Catering is very good... so you won't starve.

Your pay comes as scheduled. They have a 401(k) and medical benefits plan which is fairly descent for a charter company. You will never get thrown out of a hotel because the bill was not paid or denied boarding a commercial flight because the ticket was not paid for either. They are very reputable when it comes to fincanial matters.

They are the first 121 carrier to be certified to be a paperless airline too which is a remarkable achievment.

They do have high standards and are very serious as far as training is concerned. If you take the job do the studying as there is no tolerance for substandard performance for obvious reasons.


All in all good company and people to work for.

hahaha thats classic man. I flew with a Colgan captain who went there he wouldnt shut up about it, (if it was 73's for CAL or SWA thats one thing) I know they make you sign a 3 year training contract and to me that sends up a red flag. Any place that needs a contract for you to stay means it probably isnt the best place to work.

saabaroowski and vspeeds, I guess this means that you have met your career goals and fly for SWA and CAL respectively and know all there know. Congrats. Additonally you will never need a job from the likes of Miami Air or a Check from JNS. My best guess, you couldn't cut either.
