Connect forum
 

Curious why connect airlines was taken out from having its own section

Possibly because it doesn't exist as an operating 121 airline yet? Seemed more than a little strange to me it was there in the first place.

That’s true

It had nine posts.

One was from a recruiter who said, "if you want to work someplace that hasn't figured it out yet, then this is the right place for you."

The other eight were from people either laughing at Connect or trying to start a standard APC-style ****ing match.

Maybe
 

Just a bit premature starting a profile and forum but it doesn’t mean we should harpoon them. Man APC can be brutal. A lot of people were harpooning Breeze and Avelo and they’re up and running and seem to be doing ok and attracting people. I say let’s give Connect a chance. It only makes things better for we pilot’s. If those bonuses hold up, that’s a chunk of change. If it works out, those that join early might be sitting pretty but if not, there is still work for everyone. You do know that people still go to places like Mesa and Gojets etc and their bonuses were taken away at one point.

They do need to fix there profile for sure.

Help me Help the forum and ultimaltely the pilots. What would you like to see on the profile that we should fix? Once again open to feedback.

Not totally true and taken out of context, what I said was we might not be the right place for you if then a few disclaimers.

HONESTY
 

Do we really need TWO forums now for Connect? Just asking.

Just be 100% open and honest. One of the reasons for the current shortage is that people have just had enough of years of abuse and lies by recruiters and management. You have 2 Dash 8 Q400s I believe not 5 Dash 8 300s. I have not seen any Airbus orders anywhere. Are you really recruiting 12 other Monday? I think it should say every other Monday no?

Bonuses are tricky and should not be used to trick people. Since Connect is not flying, has anyone received any bonuses yet? AND do the bonuses apply to all employess current and new cause that might upset a few people.

Be the new tranparent and honest airline and you’ll get people to come. If you fabricate things you will become a training ground for the LCCs or even other regionals.

Best of luck honestly!

The information on their profile appears reasonable, ie there might be worse places to work.

Also interesting that they're doing hydrogen fuel... that will make it harder to get up and running, but they could carve out a nice niche for themselves if they can pull it off.

Fair points but
 

The profile is wrong. Just needs to be tidied up is all. Again, there are no Airbuses on order. Not to say there won’t or can’t be but, to tell people Airbuses are coming is misleading. The Hydrogen fuel thing is an idea but not sure the real benefit vs cost like Solar power for instance. You can tell people anything you want but it does not mean it’s true. Sales pitches are just that and until it happens I just don’t believe it. Again I say, just be honest. What do you have now not what do you want for Christmas.
