This is a fixed pay scale so it doesn't matter how many years you work here, the pay remains the same. You have a guaranteed 8 days off per month plus whatever days you can get using the 1 in 7 rule. There are two bases....Miami and Mesa Arizona. The Mesa flying is hauling illegal aliens back to Central America. The Miami flying is passenger charter with some scheduled service coming up in early next year. Currently have 6 MD83s with two more coming in Feb 2012. There are some medical benefits if you live in Miami, but there are currently no medical benefits in Phoenix. The training is good, and the instructors are great. The employee group is hard working and easy to deal with. There is no training pay. The company pays for your hotel, but you must pay the company back through payroll deduction. There is no direct deposit, only checks

Sudenly I'm not bummed that they told me I didn't have enough hours to apply.

I heard that some of the fired pilots from Spirit still there

If you know somebody there, you get hired, no matter your experience

New Hire

Dynamic Airways is another operation to stay far away from. Lots of pressure there from the top to operate ouside the FARs. Cast off Arrow management runs operations. All the initial cadre has quit or been fired.

How about that mods... you agree?

I agree anyone can assasinate someones character from behind closed doors, not very professional, and worse even less class. Incidentally, I do not even know the person in question.

Unfortunately, when someone gets to be that bad with co-workers, and when all pilots agree ZA is a major A..H..., this things happen.
Thanks to this website, more people know, and will stay away from that Sh.. H...
