I'm a retired military pilot with 1400+ TT, RW & FW living in the Denver area. I'm enjoying my retirement but miss the cockpit and am thinking Boutique might be a "good-paying hobby" for a few years, or maybe even a second career. I saw the time line posted at the beginning of this thread in 2017 and am wondering about the current time line- from application to interview to job offer, for street Captains.
Is it pretty quick, or agonizingly slow?
What is a realistic expectation of time required to get into a Denver-based cockpit?
Is there a time of year when it is best to apply? / When is the greatest need?
Thank you in advance.

That being said, if you meet pt. 135 IFR mins you will get snatched up pretty quickly due to the constant need. If not immediately, Denver should be easy to transfer to within a short time.

Unless I’m missing something, this is for an aircraft that does NOT require a type rating AND with training that is done in the actual aircraft (not in a sim rented from a third party at significant expense). Doesn’t seem close to ballpark in current hiring market, but YMMV...

I agree with your thoughts, but this appears to be pretty consistent for low time pilots trying to avoid becoming instructors.

Does anyone that was recently hired by boutique air as a SIC know what the current training contracts are? Older posts say 10K for 1yr but recent post guys are saying 14k for 2 years? And if that’s true does it prorate down after a certain amount of time?
