What worked for me: Decide which statement is MORE accurate at honestly describing you (even if it’s choosing between the lesser of two evils), and generally stick towards the middle with a lot more “slightly agree” than “strongly agree.” I looked at it as a “mostly agree” for one is also essentially a “mostly disagree” for the opposing statement. So if you’re going to answer “mostly” or “strongly,” then you better be OK with those qualifiers applying to your level of disagreement with the other side. I had way more “slightly agree” then the other options.

If you do get the invite before you cross the 1000 turbine time requirement, please come back here and update the thread. Would be a good data point to have. Based on some expanded replies, I still don’t there there is a data point with getting the invite before reaching 1000 of turbine time.

If you are only a few hundred hours (and therefor a few months at 121/135 rates) away, I honestly don’t think it’s worth the risk of having to wait a year for another app review. Your call. Free advice is worth what you pay for it…

I just don't get this line of thinking by the company. If they won't hire EDV pilots, do they really think said pilots are going to pass up offers from other majors? Of course not, they are going to take CJO's from UA, AA, WN, B6, F9, Etc, and EDV still loses that pilot. And if the other majors are doing the same thing (Blacklisting their own DCI carriers), everyone is simply poaching one another's regionals. Makes no sense.

Those pilots are going to leave for someone, it might as well be for their own 'parent'...

They are all doing the same. Not hiring from their own regionals. All my buddies at PSA are going to Delta and United. AA won’t touch them.

We addressed this a few pages back. We are not talking about Turbine PIC, We are talking about the published requirement for 1,000 hours of turbine time, be it SIC or PIC.



Precisely. When everyone is poaching other Regionals, the net result is the same. It’s shortsighted and dumb.

According to conversations today, Delta is setting up a pathway to hire CFI's into mainline without an ATP. They will do the ATP-CTP course in house through a training center Delta owns.
