Lynx Aviation Hiring...

cptnmarcus · April 30th, 2008, 12:13

With the Frontier and Republic parting ways Lynx is getting more flying. They are looking to boost their current utilization and bring more pilots on property. This also looks promising for future growth. A lot of rumors abound about how Lynx will survive even if Frontier dies. Q400 is the future and best present state of regional flying. If you are interested you should apply. There have been a lot of changes recently by the company to improve quality of life and morale. While it still isn't perfect, pilots seem to be much happier.

And for those that are worried about Frontier's Chapter 11 and how it affects Lynx. Lynx is wholly owned by Frontier. The rumor is that Lynx (aircraft, crews, certificate, and operations eg, ASE) would be IPO'ed to raise money for the creditors and it would be then spun into its own entity. Lynx would be able to fly for whoever they want. What mainline carrier wouldn't want to put Q400's on property tomorrow?

Interesting. But a very risky move it would be for anyone presently embedded with another stable regional.

Gosh. I been trying to fing out more exacting info on Lynx on who they are since I seem in the dark on this one. Now I found a small outfit flying Metro's out of Florida, but I assume that is not right if there is talk of Q400's.

Oh, and then I find this. Now if this is Lynx, I like what I see!!!

The one out of KFLL is Lynx Air Intl. The one out west for Frontier is Lynx Air /Lynx aviation.

Thank you. I have it all figured out now. Took some deep digging to make sense of it all. Fingers crossed they make it. It is a great time for the Q400 to come online as it appears to be an efficient aircraft when compared to the other turbo props cost per seat and route capability versus the RJs.

Hello,

Please provide feedback if anyone has done any CFI work and/or contract F/O work in China.

pros, con, challenges, issues, etc...
