No call yet. Received the pilot questionnaire 4/14, thanks on the 24th confirming she had received it. Sounds like it may be a week or two more before we know.

Have a friend who is A320 typed and current with an internal rec. Received the pilot questionnaire 4/14, received a thank you on the 24-25th. He was called evening of the 25th to schedule the interview. Goes in tomorrow 5/2.

Sounds like call time varies.

I received the same questionnaire on the 14th and confirmation of receipt on the 24th.

Any updates on what to expect next.

Heard of a couple guys squeaking into VX under 3k total. Applied today and got an e-mail that I'm not qualified. So, were those rumor bull? Or did the system still take my information in even though I got that e-mail?

It might be something with Alaska having more say in the process. I know because of them a 4 year degree is now required at VX. That friend also told me that VX HR *might* drop the TT requirement to 2.5k later this year.

Greetings All,

Any idea what someone would realistically gross the first year?

Thanks.

Depends on when you get hired and if you can get off reserve right away. Assuming the worst and you sit reserve all year, 75 hours x first year pay + bonuses (which these days are not much) + profit sharing (9-11%ish). My guess is around $50K and up to $60K if you can hold a line.

The application now clearly states that the min TT is 3k. It has been that was since the merger was completed at end of 2016. Many were hired with less than 3k but those days are over.
