Green All Over
Connect Airlines, a division of Bedford-Massachusetts-based charter outfit Waltzing Matilda Aviation, is offering qualified pilots an eye-watering yearly salary of $250,000. What’s more, Connect plans to offer pilot’s perks the likes of returning to their home bases nightly, a four-on/three-off schedule, and an additional, tax-free, $1,500 monthly bonus to offset commuting expenses. Connect’s target passenger demographic is day-tripping business travelers; its equipment is Dash 8 Q400s leased from recently-resurrected UK regional airline Flybe. The nascent carrier's plan is simple, proven, and engenders some of the most attractive pilot gigs in the Part 121 industry.<
