It depends if your on the E120 or the E145. The 120's are all 135 ops, and the jets are 121 domestic/supplemental ops. I went thru INDOC back in February for the jet. You'll do a week of CBTs the week before you go to INDOC. INDOC is 2 weeks at the company HQ in Orlando. After that you'll get 10 days off and then start sim training at FlightSafety either STL or HOU. Our E145 sim instructors are phenomenal.

I had a phone interview there little over a year ago to be PIC on their 145s. I wasn't able to be in class in 3 days and said i would have to think about it before I accepted a later class date. I called back a few days later but we never answered or called back. My situations have changed in that year. Are they still looking for PICs?

Does anyone know if this is still a home base position for 145 employees and if it's a "on call" position? One question I did ask was if I was required to answer the phone on days off, I never got an answer.

This happened to me as well, except it was for a FO position. They told me to email them when I was ready to come on board, I've emailed and called but never get a response. If you get a response, let me know.

As for answering the phone on your days off, the best I can tell you is we don't have a contract. I don't know of anywhere that it says you need to answer your phone, but right now it be just like not answering the phone at any other company. I've only been called once on my day off once, but I think some of the Captains a but more. Scheduling has been really good with me regarding any schedule issues.

As far as I know it is still home based, although that may change in the future. Those of us that are hired with it will be grandfathered (at least that's what we are told). It's not really an on call position as most of our flying is known in advanced.

My last count off the top of my head was 11 Captains, but two are wrapped up in sim training. Only one FO is close to meeting the requirements to upgrade. So I see them having the need to hire a few more street Captains, but the intent is to upgrade In seniority order. there is indeed a seniority list being compiled and as a street Captain you may be junior to some FOs.
