It's not about not listening, it's about trying to understand why the culture is different at a place like PS vs more or less everywhere else. I'm guessing that the vast majority of pilots at PS never had to contend with thousands of furloughed pilots before. Face to face meetings historically have been a tried and true way to cut through stacks of applications. But from what I am gathering, it seems PS operates to a different beat.

HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH PRECLUDING CULTURE.

I'm well aware of the differences, it's not my first rodeo.

It was my impression that interviews had resumed. Or is there another reason for not recommending an informal meet and greet?

I realize that individual schedules vary from month to month..... but generally speaking. Thanks

But just showing up, yeah thats not a good look. The word desperate comes to mind.

How firm are they on their 100h Instrument time minimum for the captain PC-12 position . I currently have slightly above 80 hours and was wondering if that was fixed or if they can consider other qualifications.
Thank you!
Thank you!

I doubt they would waive it. Even with the direct entry captain “warm-up-as-an-FO-til-you’re-comfortable” program, they need you to be a rock solid instrument pilot.
