And yeah, Make Group 1 Great Again.

You’re right, it doesn’t matter to any APA pilot. In fact it’s better for us if the WO carriers can’t staff their flying due to attrition, gives us more leverage to bring that flying back in house. Maybe Embraer would give us a good deal on some E190E2s in exchange for some of the E175s. I hear UAL is hiring a bunch of PSA pilots…….

No salaries in the USA. Paid by the hour. You will not have a long wait to get MIA. You will likely not see the 777/787 in MIA for 4 years and that would be extreme, but retirements will be highest the next 4 years.



AB and 737 payrates the 1st 5 years are:



1. 90

2. 137

3. 161

4. 165

5. 169



The minimum monthly pay is 72 hrs for long call reserve. 76 hrs for short call reserve. A typical lineholder these days is 72-90 hrs. A reserve cannot be assigned flying that will take them beyond 85 hrs and are on call 18 days a month. You will likely be able to have a line within a year. These “hours” are not purely flight time. They include various rigs and pay protections. You can work overtime if your seniority allows. You also get international override pay and per diem. You also get 16% of your income equivalent added to a fully vested retirement account after year 1.



conservatively, altogether I’d plan on 85k year one and 170k year 5. Zero retirement added year 1. 27k added to retirement year 5. You can add up to 19.5k every year to your retirement account yourself, tax deferred. More when you’re over 50

Question on the application where it asks for years of IFR certified experience and hours of IFR certified experience. I assume years is number of years since you passed your IFR check ride. Is the number of hours the amount of hours that you've have flown since you were IFR certified or number of hours flying "actual"?

According to checkedandset guys, it’s the total hours flown on an instrument flight plan.
It should be significant.

Thanks. Im not sure many people actually keep track of that. Guess ill do my best to guestimate

So what’s the timeline for the next steps after you finish the app and PST? Should internal recommendations be sent in with the initial application?

Originally Posted by merica1776 (Post 3304932)

So if you get an internal rec, do you also add them as a reference and upload a pdf of their rec as well?

According to the potential future Indoc schedule, it will actually be 45 per week, 46 weeks of the year.

46 weeks * 45 per class = 2070, which is right about the 2000 number that we keep hearing. Allowing for a few classes to fall just short of the 45 number, as tends to happen with people having emergencies, etc...

There is absolutely no way that they have the training capacity to hire 2000 per year. They are already buying sim time elsewhere and they have a worsening shortage of check airmen.

Why / how is it worsening? Just curious

They are quitting faster than they are being replaced. Many feel the cost/benefit isn't there.

APA should negotiate some kind of pay override, plus better scheduling for CKA. Better pay incentives plus not having an onerous schedule would probably increase interest.

Yes, but not outside of a new contract. It needs to be part of the new contract. Nothing until then.

Don't give up negotiating capital now on something that the company really needs.
