I am just below 3600 hours, 1400 of that in helicopters, and just over 500 multi-engine FW. I was hoping to get a seat in the B1900 or Metro.
Thanks for any info!
Home based captains go anywhere a captain is needed...
Be it for turnover, vacation, or a position that has not been filled with a bid...but talking to others, there is a bit of a regular routine in some cases.
Similarly, where you get sent seems to be more of "luck of the draw" and based on the cost of an airline ticket, and schedule. I live on the east coast, but this trip I am on the West coast.
I would suggest that you chat with a recruiter, but when I applied, it went from paperwork to job offer in just a few hours. I am not sure how far in the future they schedule people for class, but sure they will know (maybe even chime in here).
