Will Recruit At Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Career Expo November 7-8

POGO Jet, Inc. has announced plans to participate in the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Career Expo November 7-8, 2007 in Daytona Beach, Florida. The company is recruiting leaders and senior managers in technology, human resources, and financial areas of responsibility, with initial hires starting in early 2008. 

POGO notes that they are a development-stage company, not yet certified or offering service, planning to become operational as an FAA-certified Part 135 operator by the first quarter of 2009. POGO states that, "Our plan is to use the low purchase price and operating costs of today’s Very Light Jets with intensive use of the planes to significantly lower the cost of private aviation. Our on-line booking system will permit customers to quickly arrange a flight that most closely fits their needs. And, by serving a vast network of underutilized small airports, POGO customers will be able to bypass congested hubs. In fact, our customers will be able to choose from over 400 airports in our initial service area."

POGO’s management team is led by Chairman and CEO Robert Crandall, formerly of American Airlines. 

POGO Jet plans to offer on-demand jet charter service using Eclipse 500 very light jets, initially in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Ohio Valley and Carolinas. Service is expected to commence in early 2009.

In addition to meeting POGO Jet executives at career expos, interested candidates may submit resumes via the POGO Jet website.
