Default Some more details...

Will hire Captains for the rest of the year (mostly)... and fly on the right seat every other day.

On the long run, will only have Cpts on reserve to cover FO's trips.

Did they say how far along they are to FAA certification?

Are you on salary waiting for the startup?

Do they give the value of the shares pre IPO?

Do they plan an IPO?

and the most important one....

For $65K do you have to clean the cabin?

Sorry, couldn't resist :-)

It is sad that they want to pay less then most regionals pay for a large (ATR, Dash 8) turboprop captain. I'm sure they will still get applicants.

I know your just the messenger so don't take it personally.

Is it just me, or does Skybus seem to soliciting those who may not have a full grip on reality? Columbus offering a better quality of life......BAHAHAHA! The real answer is: who would let a skybus pilot on the jumpseat...doh! of course, they'd be too cheap to invest in CASS, nevermind.

Friends don't let friends sink this low. I thnk you might have a better quality of life sucking farts outta car seats working at the car wash.....IN AKRON, then working for this outfit.

Any idea on how many hours per month the $65K is based on? Is there overtime pay if you exceed the guaranty?

Is the airline actually certified by the FAA/DOT as of yet?

From what's been posted, it's $65K salary. No guarantee or overtime, FAR rigs.
