how many hours are you averaging a month? How long to upgrade?

Awesome, thanks

If your coming in with zero 121 time and based on your seniority you could be flying around 200-500 a year. Just depends. Upgrade just depends on the factors above.But I would expect from Zero 121 time it could take around 2-3 years. This is not a job to build 121 time fast, it is a QOL job if you live in base. I came in with previous 121 time and it took a little over 2 years for me to upgrade but some of that was waiting on a class.

what’s your take on purple runway currently? I’ve heard it’s maturing as a program.

Any idea of the movement of bases here? Can you get to a base pretty easily or is it pretty stagnant. Upgrade times pretty much when you have the hours now, seeing as they're hiring DEC?

They are hiring directly in to bases. IND, MEM and some others. If your going to live in base, I highly suggest you live there. There is no commuter clause here or union so you are not protected if you don’t make it to base for
Your flight

When will the Sky Courier be flying revenue trips?

It shouldn't be long. Probably a few months if I had to take a guess.

That being said, I'm not sure why ANYONE would want to come here given the hiring environment right now. I'm on the ATR and this place is an absolute dumpster fire. Unless you're a based pilot and home every night (even then, I'd still reconsider coming here), you're QOL will not be great. If you are a "floater" pilot, RUN, don't walk away. Floaters are treated like floating pieces of poop, hence the "floater" moniker. A based pilot in say, Memphis, who has 3 months of seniority can outbid a floater who has been at the company 10 years. Seniority means the square root of EFF ALL here.

Literally EVERYONE is hiring right now. If you have an ATP, go anywhere else. LITERALLY anywhere else. I'm currently looking for an out as I'm sick and tired of this place.

Mesa is hiring. New pay is $100.00 for FO so there’s that.
