I'm still working on the 120 SIC application process for you. They say they are not currently hiring 120 FO's but to apply anyway. As soon as I have th info, I will forward it to the forum.
In other news, Via is adding routes...

All pilots are still being hired as home based pilots, but if you are an XJT guy who is stuck in the right seat in IAH, ORD, or DEN, this might not be a bad idea. The flying looks pretty good, and the company has purchased some Republic birds just for this flying, but we need staffing up.
PM me if you have questions.

Not really... we are in CASS but with no jumpseat coordinator we have. I jumpseat agreements worth anything.Benefits are still the downside to this place. No 401k match and sky high health insurance.
Where (and what) is covered during training?
INDOC in Maitland, SIM in HOU,DFW, or STL. All travel and hotel is covered. Not sure about pay, there was discussion of paying a weekly rate as opposed to Per Diem only followed by a training completion bonus.
How does one apply?
This changes all the time. The company website has an application process that doesn't seem to work. So if you want to apply, PM me and I will get you the most currently used email address for resumes
Thank you again.

Training is two weeks in Orlando, FL for indoc, general operational subjects and systems. You'll also get a systems CBT 2 weeks prior to class. Sim is at least 10 days, 8 training sessions, a PC and a LOFT.
