Mountain Air Cargo updates?
 

Any hiring news ?

Thanks

Interviewed a week ago.....first was a HR interview with Basic HR questions, Mrs Patterson was very nice.....Second interview was with the Chief pilot with an approach plate.....Know everything on the plate, how to brief and fly the approach....study the gouges! He was also very nice and answered all my questions... Given a May class date a few days later. ATR

Do they still offer the 5 week/1 week PTO option for Caravan pilots?

It’s 5/1 if you are a based pilot (essentially hired to do a specific run, which is the only run you do unless you volunteer to float certain weeks).

It’s 4/1 if you are hired as a floater.

C208 Captain: $45,000 base with the potential to earn over $75,000

I assume the pay is correct on the Profile page?

Are they hiring on the ATR?
I haven’t seen openings on the website for almost 6-9 months now.

how can one apply?

send them a resume....I have a class date May 17

Everyone is about to be hiring!

Does MAC offer per diem?

Yes they do.

So you collect per diem every day while flying? M-F/Sat?

any idea how big of classes they are running?

We have 4 in our class...

thank you.

where are the gouges? Aviation interviews?

Do you know what the ATR pilot bases are and how many pilots based MEM on either ATR or C208? Thanks

6 routes in Memphis....all ATR....One person in class for Memphis....two for Indy.....one for Newark.....to the best of my knowledge

Any hiring updates?
 

Hey guys. Any word on hiring SIC for the ATR? If given an interview will that be in person or online? Thanks ahead of time!

We are losing pilots left and right. Back to back classes on the ATR for sure.

Any talk of going back to the part time positions?

any idea when IND FO will be open again?

I’m sure it will be soon.

Probably doesn’t hurt to apply they could still use you. It’s easier though if you are already senior and switch to part time. We have a couple part timers.

What's the reason for so many leaving?

Wonder if it has something to due with EVERYONE IS HIRING??? Just spitballing here.

Because everyone coming out of flight school and any young guys want to build time FAST and you won’t build time fast here. But I argue the QOL is great, if you live in base.

What happened to IFLs takeover of the ATR operation for Fed Ex?

Mountain Cargo got their act together when the last President was ask to resign his membership from their club.

What does the life of a MAC ATR FO look like?

My understanding of the 208 operation was something like Sunday Evening-Friday Morning, fly to the outstation, sit for 10 hours, fly back to base and go to bed, every 6th week you got off.

Does the ATR (and eventually the SkyCourier) operation work like that, or is it more like a traditional line schedule?

I’m curious also what the schedule looks like, how is QOL for those of you living in base?

I currently live in base and QOL is great. Home every day, runs are 4 days a week mostly just out and backs unless something breaks, then there could be a wrinkle.

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

Hiring for MIA base

MAC is hiring ATR First Officers & Captains for MIA base. $25,000 yearly geographic bonus in addition to base salary. 3 weeks on, 1 week off. Need to meet ATP flight time minimums to qualify. ATPCTP provided for qualified candidates.
Contact [email protected] for details or to apply.

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.
