In the interest of freeing up one 9E Captain seat, here is what seems to be a Direct Entry Captain position in the Saab 340 based at Chicago MDW and Waterford, MI (PTK airport). It's Pentastar Aviation, these are the same guys who have the contract with UM Survival Flight for 3 of the EC helicopters and 1 Citation. This Saab operation seems to be easy flying based on the description, 3 flights per day, 4 days per week.


Good luck.

That plane is always broken and the loads are terrible I doubt it lasts much longer. Heck I'd love to work for them since I live right next to MDW, but seeing what I see it's just not worth the chance.

 

Who is the flying for? Private company? Airline? Charter? Medical stuff?

 

I think it's for a travel company because the destination is a large tourist area that focuses on skiing golf lake activities etc. etc. It's called Lakeshore Express.

Lakeshore Express

 

Also they market it as a hey connect to thousands of other cities well in MDW you land at the FBO on the south side of the field and then you would have to cab/shuttle it over to the terminal making it just a huge pain.

 

Oh man... This one isn't going to last long.

I do miss driving Ol' Blue to the hotel in Pellston... those were the days!

 

N9CJ, at least we would feel at home in the old girl.

 

Ol' Blue isn't in Pellston anymore. Now the pick us up for the half mile drive to the hotel.

 

Hahaha good one. No thanks

 

This should go in that "Use of the Word" thread.
