Make sure to tell them that at the interview! Lol but seriously, no other airline is hiring 1500 hour pilots now?

I got CJOs from frontier and breeze on the same day. Frontier is canceling classes and pushing start dates back with no end in sight. Breeze got me a class start within 2 months of the CJO.

So the goal of getting to a regional is to get out as soon as possible, right?

That means going to a regional that is a multicarrier (Mesa, Republic, SkyWest) would lower the chances of getting out of that regional to a major any time soon. Im trying to get to a WO but that doesn't exist at the moment and neither do the LCCs.

That might seem logical, but it’s actually quite opposite of what you want to do. Go to a multi-carrier regional and get apps out ASAP. A wholly-owned is going to meter their flow to mainline.

WO is good if you know you’re living in that base and you’re ok with waiting for the legacy as a backup. If you really want to get to the majors fast you just go to the first regional that hires you and you apply everywhere.

If going to a WO choose your second choice of major and go to one of their WO companies (worse comes to worse you can eventually flow). That will likely get you to where you want to end up faster than going to a WO owned by your first choice. The big 3 will mine the WO's of their competitors before hiring from any other source.

They’re almost the same. PVD will have slightly more flying in 24. PVD is a bit less senior than BDL, but at this point both bases are pretty established.

How long to hold PVU, on either the FO or CA side?

Much open time to pick up there?

And the type of pairings there? I hear it's mainly 4-days...

Thanks in advance.

Not currently going to new hires, but of existing pilots it is very junior. Will depend what happens with growth there as it's been pretty well established for a while now. Past performance does not equal future results, and it is extremely unlikely you would quickly become a senior FO. Could take 6 months to upgrade if you're qualified, or 10 years. It's a crapshoot. Open time in small bases can be limited. Provo has a lot of 4 leg days but also a lot of 2 leg days. I think you meant that, not 4-days. No base here has many 4 days, but you would see more of those in seasonal bases like SAV and VPS.
