Signed Up
I signed up for the first training class. Honestly, that it’s a startup sparked my interest, and the compensation package got me through the door. This is my first 121 job, but I have a ton of 135 large turboprop time (not Dash 8).
Yes, the profile page needs to be fixed.
Domiciles are currently PHL and ORD. BOS is on the way, I’m told 6-12 months out.
2 Q400’s on property (and currently doing proving runs). 3 more on the way.
I had a buddy ask me why would I go to a turboprop startup, when with my experience I could go to an established LCC or even mainline? Of course, the compensation package that Connect Airlines is offering is a major factor. But besides that, the fact that it is a startup appeals to me. Sure, I could go to an established airline and be a number (and not a good one at that), or I could get in on the startup phase of an airline and be a part of a team building something new. That’s not for everyone for sure, but to me aviation (and life in general) is about adventure.
Now this being APC, I expect some interesting replies. It had been so long since I’ve been on this site (years, maybe a decade?) that I had to reset my password to login as I had forgotten it. No worries though, I figured that maybe I would help contribute to this forum as I am looking forward to contributing to the Airline.
