It is very true though that you must have 100 in the right seat before you can attend training for CA.
However, if you come here you run the risk of a strike while on probation which can get ugly. Yeah no one will return to work until you are hired back, but how long could it take? And what if they fire you for "something else"? If I had known the strike was THIS close to the horizon, I would have chosen Mesaba.
My $0.02
Yes 2500 Total, but 1000 of the time has to have been at Pinnacle. Read netween the lines. It is on the bid pack.
3500 Street Capt
3000 with 500 at PCL
2500 with 1000 at PCL
1500 if flown with 3 mentor captains and received the endorsement
but remember 2000 multi is also required.
If you have 250 PIC...OE is only 25 hours
Less than 250 PIC requires 50 hrs OE
