Wow... That can add up pretty fast. Do you see OT offered very often?

PSM based, no shortage of overtime. Multiple emails per day with specific trips available. Remote based, not very often but it does pop up occasionally. One avenue for remote pilots to still partake in OT is to just sign up for an added day (or 2, or 3, etc) of EOT at the end of their normal rotation. We've had pilots essentially doing 12 on/2 off (4 days OT) but obviously they get burnt out really fast. So yes, lots of OT is available if you want it.

4 OT request emails so far today and its not even noon yet.

OT is abundantly available in the summer. Even more so if you are PSM based.

How often does Planesense start a new hire class?

What is the ratio of DEC to FO's in the classes?

Thanks in advance.

Default Part Time CA

If you are PSM based as a part time CA, are you able to work all 8 days in one block and then take 20 off?

As a part timer you work one full rotation then have your next one off. So your normal schedule is 8 on 20 off.

Classes are monthly. Occasionally, a month is skipped if the FO to Captian ratio is too large.. in the past they have hired too many FOs at once and have not had enough captains to fly with them. This caused dissension in the first officer ranks due to lack of flying/rotting in a hotel. This is now remedied by skipping an FO class date when needed.

Class size varies, but can be as large as 12. Of those, only one or two are direct entry captains. Sometimes (often) there are no direct entry.

The recent improvements to quality of life and compensation seem to be helping retention and the captain upgrades from within appear to be happening with more frequency.

The training department is very good.

High time ERJ-175 Captain (not on reserve, can't figure out how to change that on my profile) Is it possible to go straight to PC-24 FO or is the progression required through the PC-12?
