1. At the moment two CJ3's are in use. Two XLS+ will arrive on the 16th. March. They should have been delivered at the beginning of March but Cessna have slowed down the production line to keep it active. An order for two other aircraft is on hold at the moment. Should be operational in April sometime.
2. Most of the pilots presently employed are ex Swissair/Crossair/Swiss and a couple or so more from other airlines.
The project is being run by Swiss on behalf of LH under the guise of Swiss Private Aviation.....
3. The crew base is Zurich
4. Salary dependent on part time or full time employment.
Full time will generally be 6 on 4 off but might be altered occasionally if deemed necessary to fulfil rostering requirements.
5. Pilots recently selected for the XLS+ will fly that type and some of those already on CJ3 have and will be converted.
6. Both Swiss Private and LH are fully committed to the project....at the moment and for the foreseeable future.
