What is the most junior base?
How long is probation?
Once holding a line, is there a minimum credit hour you can't drop below? I assume you can't drop anything while on reserve?
Sorry if these have been asked before, I am new to the 121 game.

He said the interview was about 80% HR questions.
He is based in ORF and has already been awarded line holder status for December in ORF.
Probation is a year, then your in ALPA.
Pay guarantee for reserve and line holders is the same at 75 hours and minimum of 12 days off.
We just got an email the other day that said we are planning to train 10-15 newhires a month from Jan-June and upgrade 5-8 a month.
Depending on attrition and sim availability.

When I interviewed there a few months ago the interview process was pretty laid back. Its conducted with a HR rep and the Chief Pilot. Its not very technical at all. They didn't ask anything about Jepp charts. He asked me a little about V speeds, a little about the aircraft you've been flying. A lot of the interview is just a "get to know you" rather than technical stuff. Most of the questions they asked were scenario based, "What would you do if...?" type stuff. He will go through your logbooks pretty thoroughly, and may ask you questions about some entries. Just be honest and you'll be fine. I hope this helps. If you interview and don't receive an email from them within the next few days...take it as a good sign.

I interviewed this past thursday. I was super nervous but it worked out, they gave me on offer. Waiting on training date (hoping for early Jan). For those concerned about application status on their website, I never noticed if it was marked reviewed. I applied on a sunday, internal rec'd by a friend monday and called the same day. Mine says "onsite interview" right now so I assume they mark it reviewed if they actually review it. Good luck to all.

Mine app status says the same as King's...I interviewed on Thursday as well and was offered the job on-site. I have 1700tt and 1100 multi-turbine, part 91. I also had a strong internal rec. Interview was like everyone said, very laid back. Seems like a great bunch of people that work there, I am extremely excited to start. Good ppl good company. Hope this helps.

I just finished my PC and I heard they want to change the interview questions. The HR lady won the first round and they are having problems with people because they are not asking any tech questions. So the whole thing may change very soon. We had some very experienced pilots not making it thru training.
