Would a guy from MLB have a chance? It's a 3 hour drive, but I would initially be willing to do the drive, and relocate after my apartment lease is up in October.

Thats probably stretching it. Remember you'd have to be in Miami for class for a couple of weeks and they're not paying for accommodation. But you can always apply and see what happens.

I was wondering about the pay to start, and if the position was for a 1st officer or just a relief pilot. JM had emailed me about interview but I could not get in contact with him, maybe they had 2 guys leave and found replacements kinda fast ?

Everyone starts as an F/O. I have no recent pay scales, sorry.

Interviews slots fill up very fast and they're quite picky.
