Hi.
Sorry to hear about all of you pilots in a tough spot.
I was out of the industry for 10 years because I couldn't find a flying job, and when I got back in I got furloughed right away. I'm now at USA Jet. It's not great, but it ranges from tolerable to very good, depending on your situation. I like it, overall.
We are hiring, and we especially need DC-9 guys. Starting pay is $39K/year. If you have the hours, Falcon capt upgrade is about 6 months, and DC-9 capt should come down to about 2 years.
We have two bids out now for DC-9 capt, with only 6 elligible pilots.
We also have a gov't contract in ABQ, and the starting pay is higher there. The lowest pay/seniority position there is Twin Otter Capt/DC-9 FO. They have 3 DC-9s (supposed to be getting -737s soon), a GIII, a Lear, and 2 Twin Otters. Everyone there is a Capt in something.
If U want a lot of info on USA Jet, PM me with your EMAIL. It is wayyyy to long to send via PM.
