New startup: GLO Airlines
 

Looks like they start up doing flights from MSY to SHV, LIT, and MEM with Saab's. I'm trying to find who is actually operating the flights. I hope they successful. Since moving here to MSY, it's the one thing I miss about being in a large hub. The lack of non-stop flights that take a whole day to drive, but also a whole day to fly because you have to connect in IAH, DFW, or ATL.

Glo Airlines | Fly Glo from New Orleans MSY to Shreveport, Little Rock, or Memphis

Airline operator: Corporate Flight Management, Inc.

Who on this planet would fly for them?

Excons?!

Yay! Another group of dirtbags starting an airline. How much will they charge for the chance of building some right seat time in a Saab?
The picture of the jet wingtip on their homepage is a nice touch.

Not to poop on anyone's parade but you would have to be insane to work there assuming you view them as a stepping stone and not a final destination. If you want to move on to a major you are going to want jet time. Plus they may suffer the same fate as silver and great lakes. Might be a nice final destination for a pilot if you live in msy without plans of leaving. But I would worry about staffing the airline. Seems like a rough road ahead though.

just out of curiosity does anyone know the pay?
hopefully it's fun bucks for the strip clubs on Bourbon Street

Another huge leap forward for our profession.

I haven't heard a thing about them? Who or what are they? How dirtbags?

I lol'd.


Good one!

From their CONTACT US page. Apparently they're in with SkyTeam!!!

Probably have 787s on order.

Why is that? Last two apps I filled out had a spot for turbojet pic time, not turbine time.

I've known a lot of people hired at majors over the last few years. A large number of them didn't have any jet time.

Yeah. This is exactly what the FA will look like after six legs in the SAAB in August.

I heard, 35k year 135 mins for the right seat and in base every night.There are plenty of worse prop jobs to have and many of them have been around for a long time.

Says 1000 total and 200 multi turbine on the jobsite

No doubt. In New Orleans.

I know a couple things about turboprop flying during the summer on those same routes. I also know first hand what a BE1900 smells like after a package of seafood is put in the cargo bin on a hot MSY ramp for too many hours. That "fresh and ready for the day" feeling you get after having showered and cleaned up for work lasts about two seconds outside.

Anyone know how the schedules are structured, and avg hours flown each month?

Wouldn't you rather fly a shiny jet instead?

Home every night. Generally 4 legs per day with an average of 6 hrs flt time per day. First officers are flying around 100 and Captains are flying around 85. When GLO launched we were flying 120+ a month. Currently hiring for FO's and Captains. Training is done at FSI @ HOU and generally takes 1 month. Single occupancy hotel, rental car, EFB's, etc. All positions are salaried and OT kicks in anytime you work over 18 days a month. My biggest complaint is that the average duty day is 10+ hrs.

If anyone has any other questions about GLO just post here or PM me and I will answer what I can

There was a Sky Team in FTW back in the late 1990s. Their nickname around the airport was Sky Dream. Same group?

No not that I am aware of. This company was founded by a lawyer.
