Default Vision Airlines

Any body have any recent information about Vision Airlines? Looks like they are taking applications but don't provide any real information. Friend of mine ran across their website and sent me the website. Any help?

We have a few 737s, 767s, and some Dorniers, whatever that is, lol.
I heard they interviewed some guys for the 737 recently. If offered a job, I would seriously think about it. You will have no life.

I have 15 days off this bid in MIA. QOL is ok if you live in base otherwise its very hard commuting. Pay is low, FO 35/hour CA 85/hour, 80 hour guarantee. As for benefits, there are none.

I could see that for the Dornier Jets, but are there people that will fly a 737 for less money than my regional is/was paying for RJ's? I shudder at the thought of someone flying a 767 for that rate. Seriously, there's a pilot out there that thinks the 767 time in their logbook is going to lead to a great paying job when they have already demonstrated the willingness to work for nothing?

They are probably furloughed or unemployed. Actually I would be willing to bet my left nut that they are. Other wise why would you go and fly a 737 or 767 for 35 dollars an hour and "no benefits"?

Our boeing pilots are ex ATA, furloughed United, Continental, and Flexjet. A few senior pilots from the turboprops have come over to the boeing operation as well.

Your probably right, I am furloughed and am starting to feel a little desperate to find a job. I am just a furloughed regional guy with a military airborne operations background that keeps running into dead ends in the pilot field, typical for a regional pilot.

Thanks for all the input guys. I would commute for the job, but not sure if my qualifications are even good enough for these guys. Its just that bad in our economy currently.

Thanks

Airborne

Even so, you don't really have to go fly a 767 for a CRJ salary there are other options for hanging your hat until the recall, a LOT more profitable options.

There are regional jet contracts that will pay you 10 to 12K a month

Really ? I have 10,000 TT 9 years RJ CA experience and have been looking for three years. Please let me know where this would be.

Good luck if you are not current, been there tried that and my 6000 Pic EMB145 means nothing if you are not current.
