He is responsive, or was when I worked for him 10-12 years ago.


Officially "COO" via the DO

Say hello from me if you work there.
I lost touch with Boris over the years.
Cool guy, we had fun but also disagreements.
I am the sailboat guy in Fort Lauderdale.

Typed in dc9, they offered me class date and pay scale as advertised. Letter from HR said bases will be awarded after ground school; MIA, AEX, IWA, GSO, ENV.

Thanks ak guy. So it is safe to assume you will be responsible to get to any base bid or awarded? It will be tough on that pay and no zed limited jumpseats no? Best of luck but getting to AEX will be nearly impossible as is IWA and ENV. Keep us posted and congrats.

It said they get you to base after oe. I plan on moving wherever I get, I'm a single dude so it doesn't bother me to move. Interview and multiple people have told me year and half upgrade so that's a huge plus for me.

First time I hear about an ENV base, they're going to have a hard time finding people for that one if that's the case. Thought only the FAs had an ENV base, but that's because they were hiring locals.

IWA is more realistic as there is crashpads from allegiant crews. But you'll probably need a car to go to PHX to commute out on AA.

Mexi,
Not sure any of the FA's in ENV are local, unless the group of new hires are. I'm surprised that they are trying to find pilots to base there
Also heard only 4 of the 8 scheduled for todays class actually showed

They have 2+ year FO's that haven't upgraded.
Just saying.
Had a buddy just leave and have a buddy who's still there.
