Are folks getting scheduled for interviews from the March app window? I applied in the window with an internal rec, then a couple days later I got an email saying I was in the “first officer candidate pool and will be contacted ASAP about an interview session”, but it’s been almost 2 weeks and no word. Wondering if I should call or just wait some more...

 

The last I heard the training department is backed up right now. Sim availability being the reason. Keep hanging in.

 

I got the same email, then got an email with a calendar to check for dates. They have been full so lots of waiting it looks like.

 

Just joined the board, first post... Anyways, I interviewed last month; my observation was that interview dates fill quickly (seemingly within hours), so if you’re sent a link to schedule an interview, you ought to jump on it. Best of luck, everyone!

 

My memory is fuzzy but I believe YV is Mesa? I know of a few FOs who have worked the entire month (voluntarily) and have made around 20K for the month. Unless the pay scales are wrong on APC no Mesa Captain is making that. Even a first year FO who collects min guarantee (without adding Perdiem) is Making 90K first year. Bonuses are a one time deal so these can’t be factored into overall compensation when comparing apples.

Might want to ask others in the industry why said person returned to Mesa the truth usually comes out.

Upgrade is down to 2.5 years

APC’s website provides you with a list of current bases. The bases are limited to the lower 48 (contiguous US) however we have many who live in ANC and make it work for them.

Concerning interview slots... All are filled through June last window had over 1000 applications. Interviewing weekly through June!


Month of OT example;
16 days (64 hour guarantee) @ 117.54: $7552.56
14 days Vol (49 hours of flight pay based on 3.56 per day: $5858.19
14 days Vol daily pay: $6700

Total pay for the month: $20,110.75

The above scenerio is unrealistic as the company isn’t going to sit you in a hotel or random location on volunteer days and not fly you.

More realist scenario:

16 days (64 hour guarantee) @ 117.54: $7552.56
5 days of volunteer with 20hours of flying
(2 days of 10 hours of flight time + 3 days of MPG(30.5 flight pay)): $3584.97
5 days of volunteer pay: $2200

Total monthly compensation: $13,337.53

 

That's regional code talk for "I washed out but don't have the balls to admit it".

 

To be fair, he may also have been at Omni under the old contract, in which case the math may make sense.

 

Hahahahahaha.

 

Actual Scenario from last year but will use first year rates though I was 3rd year:

Biz Class Payout: $5,000
Callout Pay: $6,200
115 Credit Hours: $13,455
Total: $24,600

Also, do not come to Omni today with dreams of a 2 year upgrade... that is probably going to go back up as our fleet size stabilizes in the coming year.

 

Yah that’s like going to spirit now (end of a big hiring wave) and frontier (front end of hiring wave and new aircraft arriving).
