Pros

Crews get along well. Only way to keep your sanity most days os the other crew members.

Cons

Long days, short nights, 6-8 legs a day, no consideration for food during the long days, have to find your own transportation to hotels on your own dime. Have not paid into their 401 plan in over a year. Owner still thinks he gives the best pay and best benefits. They were probably in 2009.

Pros

It started out with good intentions. The concept is good, but in order to offer what the company is offering (the passengers), they must first have the means to do so. And although this company had every good intention in the beginning, they fell short. Prices are good. Customer Service is great!

Cons

Salary is so-so. Food is prepared in a back room, or on the aircraft. Nothing is done sanitary. Sometimes you are asked to "fudge" a time sheet. You will be told (upon hiring) what salary & raises to expect....DON'T expect them. The aircraft are "cheaper" for you to maintain, but they are USELESS for your purpose.

Pros

the flight crew are great people to work with. Home basing Easy work load in the summer time (April-September)…8 on/ 6 off and usually 2-3 days just sitting..IN THE SUMMER Hotels and rental cars are arranged for the flight crew (for the 1st time in decades) Per diem is $60….unless you do casino flights, then $30 because you can eat in the employee cafeteria for free….and unless you live close enough to the plane and can sit at home on standby, then you get $0. Good job for a first time jet You get to keep hotel and rental car points and Tailwins points. Overtime pay is $600/day CA & $400/day FO Excellent maintenance and mechanics

Cons

UJC lost about 50% of their pilots in the last 4 months. If you come on as an ERJ-135 pilot you are likely to start out at aroud 110k salary. Meanwhile, a 10 year Dojet captain with 20,000 hours whose been loyal to the company and flies more than the ERJ pilots, gets a 100k salary. It’s a very high turn over company The flight attendants have more sway with the owner than the pilots do. Expect to fly 8 leg days with 20 minute turns and possible pop-up trips after your 8th leg. Its okay to go over 10hours of flight and/or 14 hours of duty when the last leg is Part 91. Deletes things from the employee handbook and GOM when it suits the company (eg, the yearly salary scale) Makes FO’s pay for their own ATP … or…..UJC pays for it and in exchange the FO does not get a raise the next year. You are expected to help the flight attendants shop for stock on your down time, and help clean the plane and fold seatbelts, wash trays and windows (not everyday, but sometimes) No onboard WiFi Recurrent training occurs on your 6 days off, so you will work 11 days in a row with no Overtime pay, get 3 days off, then back to work….happens twice a year: once for ground and once for sim You pay for KCM You pay for you medical No uniform allowance

Thank you for your comments, while this response is very delayed the situation here has changed with new management. We realize the previous management had its challenges. None of the previous management works for Ultimate Jet.
