I'm accepting today! Have you had a good experience so far? I'm coming from 135 and haven't enjoyed it much and haven't flown much either. 200hrs in 6 months.
Welcome! You’ll enjoy it here. If they hired you, you’re most likely going to fit in. We do a good job of hiring a “personality”. Safe, dependable, and professional, all while being laid back and fun. As mentioned above, the training dept is not out to get you. You’re required to put the effort in to learn the aircraft and callouts/flows. But if you put the effort in, they can see it right away, and you’ll be golden.
Reserve varies by base and airframe. You could potentially hold a line in 2 months, or it could be a year. It’s a crapshoot to try and guess. Plan for the worst, and hope for the best. By the time you get on board, we will have far more pilots and several more airframes on property. So hopefully things will move faster for you than it has for some hired last year
