Do the system operators have a chance to move to pilot positions before the 1000 TT?
Absolutely. One of our pilots that is leaving at the end of the year, moved into the 320 after about 6 month and 500 hours. If you prove that you can do the job, opportunities for advancement are available.
You mentioned salaried positions based on TT and experience.
What ranges are youbtalking about here?
Systems operators with no experience usually start around $27k and it goes up from there. We usually do an evaluation after 6 months. If you've picked up on the job and are doing what we ask, we reward accordingly.
Yes - if you throw out a hiring vibe in this economic environment without adding in some initial requirements I'm sure you'll end up inundated with resumes from aspiring pilots. I hope that you will find what you are looking for among our APC pilots. Good luck!
Thanks! Feedback from these forums has been great. I will definitely be using this site first for any future searches.
