I think all regionals are working their pilots to death. By the 15th of this quiet month I was at 55 hrs. (on reserve).

But your enthusiasm is refreshing on boards that have been filled with doom and gloom the last 3 years or so. Welcome to the party fellas
Good God! That sounds brutal! No wonder I have never meet any Whisky crews on the overnights. Sounds like you guys are probably so overworked that you pass out just inside the threshold of your hotel room only to be awakened the next morning by the maid banging your head with the door when she tries to get in to clean the room.

I got the call this morning too! Kind of an odd time to start a class being the week of Thanksgiving. But, I guess that's just the way the industry is. Its nice to know it looks like a class is going to happen sooner rather than later.

I had 1500/110 everyone had an internal rec, except me
but the group I interviewed with ranged from 850 - 2100 and 100-700 multi
i know a few people that had an ATP didn't get the invite.(who knows why)
they make it clear in the interview that they are looking for a motivated attitude!
