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.
Thank you Walker.... i will try to reach out to her again and see what is brewing for the future. I have about 700 hrs 121 time in the E145 so I think they def wanted to hire me as an FO instead of street captain. Thank you for the info once again.

When I talked to them last year, I believe I talked to a man and Amie. We only spoke twice before the crickets came out how could I contact the recruiters?

I try to keep up with Francesca on hiring. Supposedly the next 145 class is set for September. No idea if they have all the pilots they need or not. An email this morning is first I heard of them looking for Citation X guys. The company has a Citation XL on the 135 certificate, guess they want some speed.

I was told that Via was out of business by a pilot yesterday? I know they lost all the Ballys and Ceasars flying.
