They require you to reside within a 2 hour drive of one of their listed bases.

It is progressive. You pass the sim first week of training you start official pc12 training the next week. Straight forward, no tricks or gotcha's. If you can fly an ILS or VOR or RNAV raw data youll be fine. Your official 135 ride will consists of much the same.

The way the manual reads is you need to reside within 2 hours or 100 miles from your base. Remote basing is an option. Airlining from the west coast would probably be at your expense. I would have it cleared prior to accepting a contract or job offer. You can submit your request prior to have that cleared. Just a thought.....

As DarksideMoon says, its 12k 18 months. Ive been here 5 months and have almost 350 hours. Plan to fly around 7 to 800 hours a year. There is good earning potential here if you are willing to work to a degree. OT is readily available if you want it. You will work on OT and regular time too. There is no denying that. Early shows and sometimes 6 or more legs you'll have. Take it for what it is and move on. Progression is available to. Im upgrading soon as the training contract runs concurrent to the FO training contract. Salary jumps to 52 and daily OT rates rise as well. It's good PIC turbine experience. Great benefits. I caution you though, you will work here. This isn't a cush sit around job. Expect to earn your money and also learn some great flying skills and hone your instrument skills as well... Especially flying in the Northeast. Every job has its issues as none are perfect. Show up, do your job, and go home. Let the small stuff roll off.

I'll be traveling to Atlanta in November for an interview. Very interested in PS. Any recommended gouges or is aviationinterviews.com good enough? Sim eval is just a VOR hold, vectors to ILS, and missed approach in a steam 172? I'll be doing it in a full motion Redbird at Velocity Aviation at PDK.

Out of curiosity, how long after you sent the application packet you got the invite for the interview?

MaxMar

Two days. Submitted on Wednesday and I was called Friday.

Hours/experience if you don't mind sharing?

I interviewed at PDK in April, and for the Sim they let you fly around to get used to it, then gave vectors for the ILS. You go missed at minimums and fly the published missed procedure. The Redbird I flew there was G1000 complex 182. Aviation interviews is pretty spot on with the gouges.
