And afterwards, they tell you how much they love, kick you in the nuts, threaten you, make promises that they have no intention of keeping, and send you on your merry way.
Unless you want to be based in PDX, the new Gig Harbor of the universe, I can't think of a single reason why anyone would want to work for AS, except that this may be your last stop. QOL, $$$, and retirement are what matter, which puzzle palace will never willingly offer. I suppose you can always hold out for Hell to freeze over.

AS will conduct two new hire pilot classes per month beginning July 17 continuing through the remainder of the year. I believe the next opportunity to meet with the recruiting team will be at Oshkosh in July followed by OBAP in early August and a FAPA.aero event in late August. Best of luck everyone!
