I always feel like I have to appease everyone I meet, I guess it's just my nature, and I don't want to go the interview and feel obligated to take the job. Just trying to get all the information. With their expansion, it could lead to something but you never know.
There are lots and lots of operators who either have training contracts(bonds), and even more who require you to already have a type, AND time in type. Look around at the 135 operators and you'll see what I am talking about. And, FWIW, the 135 operators are mostly considered "low time positions" like GIA would be(AmFlight/AirNet/Flight Express/MartinAir, etc). It's part of not wanting to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to train many people who will walk as soon as something better comes along.
I'd also like to add that I'm not sticking up for GIA.
