Any latest
 

Kinda gone radio silence here, no?

Just wondering if anything is new? I was reading the recruitment page and it sounds enticing however, the other posts on this forum don't paint a good picture.

Steven Segal once asked "What's it take to change the essence of a man"? "Time to change, Time"!

I got a rejection email today if that counts as news lol

From CommuteAir?

Affirmative

The E3s at CommuteAir are the reason they were able to do any hiring at all over these last few years. Because of their visa tying them to C5, they were practically the only ones who stayed around to upgrade, otherwise new hires would have had nobody to fly with

This is not an E3-bashing at all. Was mentioning only one in particular that did what they needed to do in order to advance themselves. Nothing new to the industry. The "tying to C5," an absolute dependance on visa renewal to remain employed in the US, is a blatant conflict of interest for the pilot group when it comes to matters of official negotiation. That shouldn't have to be explained. The company picked up on that opportunity and will try to ride it into the next slump. I don't blame C5 for that. Regarding having "no one" to fly with-That's leverage. That's income. That's negotiation time. However, that time was wasted through stalling, and they found their man that would do it for them.

I know some guys there, they feel bad for the E3 Visas....stuck there for awhile until they get their Green Cards and go to the Majors.

Nice guys for the most part, they say that aviation in Australia is...bad.

Is there a training contract?

No, but the airport standby and reticence of scheduling to use reserves results in junior pilots getting very little and sometimes no flight time beyond consolidation. That 'feature' makes it difficult to be in a position to move on before a theoretical training contract would expire.

If all you need is someone to pay for an ATP then it might be a viable option.
