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
Sounds like you are heart set on working at a legacy carrier, maybe you should just focus on that instead of coming to G4, there is no reason to jump around to other carriers since you are already flying decent equipment at a Part 121 carrier, will upgrade there soon enough and you have the age advantage.
People have their respectful and individual career choices but it is nicer to fly/work with guys and gals who 'want' to be here, are happy with what they have and are not a part of the constant 'rat race' chasing that coveted so called legacy title.
Good Luck to you Sir!
