They were very fast with emailing back. I will have a phone call conversation with them on Tuesday at 11 so they can answer my questions.
I look forward to it. This might be it. That post you had linked is old, but there were some guys saying there is a contract obligation which would really slow me down I guess. one mentioned airliners will see you as high risk and won't wanna hire you as well. Don't know the truth to that.
Hey, it's turbine time though
I wouldn’t give any of that ANY weight. The post Covid hiring environment is something like we haven’t seen since the 60s. People with 1500hrs and wet ATPs are getting multiple offers from major airlines. I can’t say a single engine turbine float pilot will get multiple offers in a year or two but I know we are hiring those guys now without question. We are hiring piston CFIs. I’d rather fly with a guy that’s been back in forth to the Bahamas in SFL weather than a CFI. I also know as soon as you complete the Spirit training with a new A320 type you are marketable anywhere and getting stuck here isn’t the same as getting stuck at a regional.
All of this info is today and things change fast which is why the advice to move fast. The hiring numbers are staggering. It’s a bit frustrating for some of us too bc many of us are waiting to see if this merger gets approved before deciding to cut bait and move on. Problem is while we wait someone else is getting hired and getting senior to us somewhere else, as well as most likely younger. It’s a painful waiting game. Imo if the merger doesn’t get approved this place will go to hell under Frontier or we will shrink to death on our own as everyone floods out the door.
