If not the time, could it be their payrate? Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.
Similar to what the guy above said...
Another tip...at this point very few copilots are getting hired outside of the UPS program. With so many people meeting 135 minimums looking for a job, a 135 copilot in a single pilot plane is simply an added expense.....
hiring is fluid based on the needs of the company and it's customers.
always look at the "openings" postings on the company website, and know minimums are FAR from what's is typically hired at most companies unless there is a shortage of qualifed pilots applying.
