I also backed out of the interview. The pay is unacceptable. I understand there is someone right behind me waiting to take my spot but I hope by saying no to the interview the company will start seeing a trend and raise the pay. I hope by me saying no it will help the guys there.

Probably cheaper then getting a B737 type though! Wonder what the attrition is like to LUV?

You also might want to check the training failure rate and if you are willing to risk having it on your record.

We are headed the wrong way.

What is the training failure rate? New hire is supposed to be aqp now.

That’s probably a smart idea from the company’s perspective. Failure on your record, and you’re a career pilot at Suncountry.

Nope.
737 type rating is about $10,000.
Keep your regional captain job making more money and buy one yourself.

I have no intention of making the move, unless pay improves significantly. I doubt that will happen, and plenty of better places are hiring.

Got the offer for the job and accepted. That was several weeks ago how long should it take to hear from HR to start the pre-employment paperwork. Haven't gotten a set training date yet either. Just July, anyone hear what date they are planning?

You should hear from them in early June. Normally classes are the first Monday of the month but who knows what impact the 4th of July might have.

Welcome!!
