1. On apc.com it says upgrade minimums include 1000 hours at the company - is that the case of if you come in w/ the time can you potentially upgrade quicker?
2. what's the latest on the -200s… are they going to get rid of them or not? I'd made anything work but I'd much prefer the -900. I'm also not fussy about base; I know NY has it's headaches re: cost of living, etc, but I'd be ok with anything.
3. last I checked, the retention bonuses went through 2018.. any word on if it's going to be extended?
4. if it's not necessary to have 1000 hours at the company for upgrade, and you upgrade fairly quick, is reserve going to be eternity?
I don't really want to make a lateral move; however where I'm at, hardly anyone (and I do mean hardly anyone) gets hired at majors; it's mostly a lateral move or a move to a place like Frontier or Spirit or Atlas to then have a chance to move again to a bigger place, if that even happens.
Having the Delta interview would sure be nice, but (and correct me if I'm wrong) being at a place that has had people hired at some other big companies would be nice..
1. Latest vacancy had upgrades with less than 300 hours at the company.
2. 200 is downsizing a little, 900 is growing. Exact numbers are subject to change but that’s the trend. Overall fleet growth is projected.
3. We just voted in pay rates that replaced the bonus.
4. You’ll be on reserve for a while. At least 1-2 years depending on the aircraft and base
