They have pilots lined up around the corner. The only problem with Lynx is that if you go there you will probably not make to to F9 mainline but then again things could change down the road.

People lined up because of that Denver base? Flying a Q400 at $21 sounds like Colgan to me.

I agree with you- its almost an alter ego airline for F9 but not quite-
It may still be good place to work in time but only time will tell. I still say that there is no pilot shortage so many pilots are so desperate to get a job that $21 hour sounds like a dream job. Sad but true.

I agree, but I don't think most of those pilots have 500 multi, unless they were Mesa or Great lakes FO's.

The pilots at the aforementioned airlines probably will jump for the chance at fast upgrade. The pay is better too.

Startups usually have high minimums. They'll come down pretty fast.

I think the idea is that people expect a very fast upgrade...might happen too.

1500/500 are old school numbers......

They are definitely staffing for quick upgrades.

Enjoy the Rockies!!!

Starbucks pays more to their baristas. With a better medical plan. And you can be based anywhere on the planet.
