250 turbine pic
All civilian
Bachelors with 3.0 GPA
I will probably at least do the interview and see what the have to say but I am happy at Republic and live in Florida and am MIA based. What should I do if I were offered a job? Wait for an upgrade or a legacy to call?
Also is there any way I'd get a FL base out of training?
What's the upgrade time?
What aircraft could I expect as a new hire? I really don't want to go there to fly the MD. I feel like I could wait it out for a legacy and do that.
Is it true that there's a bunch of day trips?
And is there any link or info on the new contract I am hearing about? Pay, qol, etc.
Also, would this be a good move to get to a legacy quicker?
Any feedback or info is much appreciated. Thanks ahead of time
Florida is junior, most new hires going to AB but that can change and some classes have been all MD and you will not know until in class. If you would not accept MD I would stay away. Most trips are out and back day trips. I believe there are links and post further back on the TA within this tread. The big thing about getting to a legacy has always been 1000 hours PIC so if coming to ALG pushes that back it would not be quicker.
