Yes, they are advertising for FO positions on their website, it is just embedded further down on bigskyair.com/retirement. Requirement(which doesn't mean much) is 750/50.

Sent in an app to bigsky over the holidays, for an FO position. Sent it in as soon as they won that Boston flying, i'm from the northeast yeah it would be painful to live off of but it can be done. Never heard back from them, any tricks to gettin an interview? If i were to call the office who should i ask for?
Only thing I know is if you know someone that walks in your stuff and has known or flown with you in the past. Otherwise, just play the waiting game. If you're from the NE, this would look good to them, I guess. Maybe call HR to verify they got your info while planting a seed at the same time.?

You guys can jumseat uh? Id have to commute ( to the NE) ...I know this would be hell but id have to do it....how much does one on make as a CA? how many hours you running a month? thanks! I guess I am asking....whats the hoursly rate and how many you average a month?
Yes, we have jumpseat agreements but no commuter clause in our union contract at this time which sucks. Capts currently start around $36/hr and FO's @ 19/hr with a 72 hour monthly guarantee. The info on this website is accurate... Our schedules are currently between 72 and 80 hrs/mo on avg. Flight time varies a lot throughout the company. I've had 100 hr. months and 0 hr. months. Good luck guys!
Just to let you know i'm not some repetative idiot... The previous 2 posts were put up while I was writing this one...
