--Free crew meals (they're good, too!)
--many, many more benefits & perqs
--Check out the salary scale on this site

Good luck!
All the benefits in the world could not make me want to sit permanent reserve...Most "airline" guys don't like the schedules so well at fractionals. "Airline" Guys know when they start, (For the most part) when they finish, and where they are going (unless Unusual circumstances arise). And the pay at Net Jets just went up so it wasn't that great until recently.

Airline jobs are not for everyone and Fractional jobs are not for everyone. I find it interesting that the original post was the individual asking about two seperate commuters which we should assume they have applied for and may have interviews coming up. The individuals we (PSA) are hiring are probably not qualified to apply at the Fractionals. Considering most of the people we hire have between 750 and 1200TT, I don't think that the fractionals will hire with these times, correct me if I am wrong but does anyone know what their minimum times are (competitive)???

Good Luck,

Default skywest hiring

So when is Skywest forcasting to start accepting resumes again!!!! I'd like to hold out for them but Horizon at least is hiring and pays a bit more!...might not mind a CRJ career out of Denver or SEA!

3) It's safe. Safe equipment, safe work rules and (relatively) safe future.

Notice I didn't mention pay..cause it's low. Almost everyone here wanted to be at FedEx or UA or AA or someplace else back before 9/11. But the reality is different now and the pilots here know we are in chrage of our own future. We still have a lot of KoolAid drinkers on the property but they are coming around.

Do you want 50k - 60k and be happy or 60-70k at another airline and be moaning? How about 150K and be moaning....where do I sign?
