Thank you
It depends if your on the E120 or the E145. The 120's are all 135 ops, and the jets are 121 domestic/supplemental ops. I went thru INDOC back in February for the jet. You'll do a week of CBTs the week before you go to INDOC. INDOC is 2 weeks at the company HQ in Orlando. After that you'll get 10 days off and then start sim training at FlightSafety either STL or HOU. Our E145 sim instructors are phenomenal.

Keep in mind that they are actively seeking a new training manager who may make adjustments to training before that time too

I had a phone interview there little over a year ago to be PIC on their 145s. I wasn't able to be in class in 3 days and said i would have to think about it before I accepted a later class date. I called back a few days later but we never answered or called back. My situations have changed in that year. Are they still looking for PICs?

I'd give them a call asap. From what I'm hearing we will need a few more street Captains.

This happened to me as well, except it was for a FO position. They told me to email them when I was ready to come on board, I've emailed and called but never get a response. If you get a response, let me know.

Does anyone know if this is still a home base position for 145 employees and if it's a "on call" position? One question I did ask was if I was required to answer the phone on days off, I never got an answer.

As far as I know it is still home based, although that may change in the future. Those of us that are hired with it will be grandfathered (at least that's what we are told). It's not really an on call position as most of our flying is known in advanced.
As for answering the phone on your days off, the best I can tell you is we don't have a contract. I don't know of anywhere that it says you need to answer your phone, but right now it be just like not answering the phone at any other company. I've only been called once on my day off once, but I think some of the Captains a but more. Scheduling has been really good with me regarding any schedule issues.

Thanks Archer, I'm not sure who else I can get in contact with. Last I talked to was Francesca and I don't know if she is still there?

Last I talked to Francesca, they are super focused on staffing up theE-120 as of right now. She mentioned the possibility of a small E-145 class in Aug/Sept. We currently have 25 pilots. According to their staffing plans, they need 15 Captains and 15 First Officers to staff the 6 jets on property. But those 6 planes won't be fully in use until Nov1, so they have some time to get it together.

My last count off the top of my head was 11 Captains, but two are wrapped up in sim training. Only one FO is close to meeting the requirements to upgrade. So I see them having the need to hire a few more street Captains, but the intent is to upgrade In seniority order. there is indeed a seniority list being compiled and as a street Captain you may be junior to some FOs.
