Ur assumptions are correct. They might throw in free printing paper and free crew room cost to build that $74000 too.

To be fair, CommutAir wasn't the first to advertise annual pay that way (several months ago, Air Wisconsin did- they now show it in a 3 year window; Trans States currently does, etc). Beginning in December, First Officers will begin @ $36.91/hour. At guarantee, that equals $33,219. Conservatively, most people figure crediting (not block) 1,000 hours in a year without trying hard, that would be $36,910. Honestly we don't have many work rules, but there are extra soft pay provisions not being included here. Add the bonus being paid to EVERYONE $22,100, that equals $59,010. Yes, they add in the cost of insurance, 401K, POSSIBLE (not guaranteed) performance bonuses, per diem, parking, uniforms & commuter hotel rooms. So put your own dollar amount to those benefits. My spouse has a really good job at a really big company and other than a few areas, our medical & dental insurance is better (again, subjective).

Will you fly with people that are in the CPP program- yes. Are there many awesome pilots here that aren't in the program, or haven't applied to it- yes.

As of now, our fleet is scheduled to go to 40 jets (we currently have 21 or 22). There is a MOU with United to go to 61 jets total. I don't think anyone here sees that happening without huge changes in contract, recruiting and retention improvements/additions. Right now, based on how upper management is handling many things, I don't personally know anyone who would recommend working here. Honestly, the next few months will be quite telling for our future...

Hope that gives you a little more insight.

What's laughable is that NONE of this (including other airlines) represents training pay. You don't magically credit 1000 hours your first year when 3-8 months of it you are making min guarantee.

I got the same post card today. Considering I haven't been in an airplane in 3 years nor had a medical for 2, they must be pretty desperate.

FlyJSH love your logo- is that the old North Central logo?

Indeed; it is Herman the duck.

North Central Airlines history - hermantheduck.org - home page Enjoy. Read some of the stories; the guys talk about flying several different TYPES in a day.

That was when a regional airline served a REGION rather than a Master.

Got the same post card. What's the skinny now compared to what has been previously posted?

PM sent- check your msgs.

[QUOTE=jbeauv;2450879]Anyone surfing this forum that is considering coming to Commutair, do yourself a huge favor and consider going to another carrier. The are far better options out there. If you have questions PM me.[/QUOT

Okay, I got this post card.... how accurate is any of it? I’m flying for Mesa and it’s a one leg commute for me right now. Please give me the skippy, I am supposed to skype interview on the 2nd.... thanks

Why does commutair want 30 hours ME time, can’t you credit 25 hours in the sim?
