Sorry double post.
It was 6/4 when I was there which wasn't that great (though I had never worked at a regional prior so I couldn't compare). Guys were getting a little testy, so in lieu of a pay raise mgmt gave us 7/7. It was a lot better, but they later went to 8/6 which is still better than what I have now.
The quality of experience there is great, especially for a low timer flying all over the East Coast and the Caribbean. To bad the pay is so low. Good luck to anyone looking to go there, it is a fun gig!

I've flown with a handful of guys that say they won't upgrade because of it. I understand the principle on both sides. It came from a rash of people last year leaving within literally a few weeks after coming home from the sim. Once in a lifetime job comes along, you got to take it, I get that. Company is just trying to protect their investment. It will be interesting to see if all these pilots decline upgrade, but then are still sitting around in the right seat 1 year later.

I believe the number was somewhat arbitrary, but it included the increased cost of going to Flight Safety for sim training.

Hoping for an interview with PS
I applied at planesense about 1month ago. filled out the application after receiving it approx 3weeks ago and got the email where they confirmed that they had received my application with all of the documents. But havent heard anything since then, i applied for the mco base and hoping to get in the april fo classes. Anyone know anything about recent hiring? Is it unlikely that ill get the interview if i havent heard back yet?

Thanks for info! You know if theyre hiring FO's for the MCO base? Do they usually have the interview within a few weeks before the FO classes? Last info i got was that they were running classes in april and july, im hoping to get into the April class is possible. And if rejected, will they let me know?

They will let you know if they don't want you, but I don't know the timeframe. Hiring is for all bases. Interview date to class date varies. I've heard of 2 weeks to 7 months.
