SCA will be hurting this winter. When you only need to give a two week notice and it takes almost 90 days to get on the line, that casues a major staffing issue. Check rides are about 60 days from the first day of training. 40 hours of IOE. Some people think its a lot but most of OE flights are day turns which are 6-7 hours of flying, so 6 turns.
Once on the line and on reserve, you will be doing a combination of day turns, multi day trips, charters, and ETOPS all over the world.
They are adding IOE captains to help get new hires on the line faster.

Well I might as well toss my resume/application into the abyss. Worst case case scenario they invite me in for an interview and slap me in the face and send me home; or just ignore me.

Retirements average 3-6 a year. I think in a couple years we have 8. Currently there are 130 captains. It's a small airline.
Managements goal is to double the permanent fleet size. So an additional 20 is what I have heard.
