My big questions are, is the Stansted base still around or long gone? And, what are the typical quals of guys who are getting hired right now from the civvy world? I'm a left seat Eagle CRJ guy who is looking for a seat in a lifeboat before this ship goes down!
Plus, like I said, Atlas would be perfect.
Thanks for any advice and help!
The Stansted base is gone but the HSV flights still go through it. If you were hired you'd probably be a 767 guy for 3 years, but after that you could probably hold HSV like me. There are lines that start out of HSV with a dead head to LUX and then a Limo to HHN. Then you fly HHN turns. All of that is if your schedule doesn't change.
If you could hold something like that you could probably just drive to HHN and then go from there. Of course all of that would be around 4 years after you're hired because you'd have to get out of the 767, get awarded HSV and finish getting the Type. When you're junior at HSV a dead head to HSV would be as easy as getting to LUX because you could just jumpseat LUX to HSV.
