Recent time requirements; not sure what to say here. Lots of companies have that requirement. You just hear about Avantairs requirement because we're actually hiring now while the others... well... ain't.

If the Gateway is open when you get called for the interview then its yours! DFW will almost always be open due to its central location.
As for how many people we hire over the rest of the year. Your guess is as good as mine. It all depends if we take all the airplanes as scheduled and how many people leave.

Well here's a little update worth noting:
I spoke with those in the know and it turns out the 250 hour recent time requirement was posted in error. If you go to the site now it says:
Minimums requirements:
* 2500 Total Time
* 1000 Multi-engine
* 250 Instruments
* 150 multi engine turbine
* A Type Rating and/or Part 135/121 PIC Qualification Event
* Recency commensurate with experience
* Airline Transport Pilot
* First Class Medical
* Current Passport
* FCC Restricted Radio/Telephone Permit
They said they know guys are having a tough time with recent experience right now. Hope it helps and good luck to all.

The application process now leads one to believe that you must be willing to move to within 2 hours of a domicile. (I live 3 hours from two different domiciles).
Were (are) KSDF or KCVG ever domiciles? I'm 1 hr from those.
thanks
