I am looking to transition from instructing to get better time and a solid schedule, plus I want to get back to my house in NC with any luck. I am gunning for ATL, which would be an easy commute. I have 1030TT right now, still instructing daily, CFI, II and MEI, also military but, not an aviator.
I got the same email about application is being reviewed...
Seems hit or miss. Somewhere I read they were only hiring about 50 pilots this year. That may have been on the high end.
Personally I want to fly for them because (1) the equipment (2) don't have to commute (3) more personable than large 121 airline flying (4) would be enjoyable to pass along things I've learned to lower time pilots (5) shorter routes vs. LAX to OKC or DFW to SFO. (6) get to try something completely different
