thanks!
Plane Sense does hire Direct Entry Captains who can be part time and I’m one of them. You will paid as a Captain from day one but won’t be part time for 7-8 months. The 1st month will be ground school and sim training as an FO then you will do 3 rotations as an FO. That will be folllowed by upgrade ground school then 3 rotations with an Instructor where you fly the left seat and perform Captain duties. Then you will do sim training as a Captain and then once you have 100 hours as a Captain you can request to go part time. As a part timer in PSM you will have 8 days on followed by 20 off, but on your days off you can pick up overtime.
Currently flying is down about 80% and all training has been put on hold so I don’t know when hiring will resume. It depends on how fast flying picks up after the stay at home orders are moved.
