I have a few questions pertaining to the Accelerated Captain Program.
1. Does there need to be a specific ACP hiring announcement to apply?
2. I understand ACP pilots are sent anywhere in the system to get hours fast but are they assigned a specific airframe throughout the program? If so, does the pilot get any choice?
3. This question is moot if the answer to the question above is no, but...if an ACP pilot is specific to a particular airframe, will they upgrade to that airframe when meeting 135 IFR minimums? For example, the pilot spends ACP in a B1900 then gets their hours. Will they stay on as a 1900 captain or transition over to the 99?
4. Given that ACP pilots are not assigned a base, are they free to live anywhere prior to hitting 135 minimums and assignment to a base or must they already live near a base? Do "ACP Graduates" have any choice in base assignment?
Thanks!!
