Brit,
Yes, don't know, and probably.
Yes Murray, Don't know about the rice rockets but they do have Casa-212's, and the pay is probably as you described.
However, I know this to be fact. Low time guys, sign on with Murray, do one yr only there for the pay Britavia described, and there's a "flow thru" program directly into the right seat of a USA Jet DA-20 or DC-9.
Don't believe me? Call and ask.
And for you DC-9 guys out there out of work, USA Jet just bought (as in paid in full for) 3 more 9's, and can't crew them. I'm on the 727 for one of their subcontractors, and they asked me to come over, into the seat. (Left).
Check it out. Willow Run's hopping, but the door will close on this kind of deal real soon.
