Do you think they will lower the minimum when the new planes will be operative?

Not even a slight chance. With thousands of resumes on file I wouldnt be surprised to see minimums go UP and not DOWN.

Minimums don't mean anything today. There are just so many type rated 5000 hour plus pilots available, the chances of the 1500-2500 regional F/O getting are about zero.

Actually, attitude plays a big part with Avantair. I know one of the recent newhires was barely at the posted minimum. They made a good impression on the phone interview, and the face to face. Don't know what kind of internal rec's they had tho. All I can say is pepper them with resumes, and rub shoulders with any of the crews you come in contact with.

Another of the new hires was a regional FO...... Its not all about flight time and type ratings.

Three of the four recently hired flew the mighty DHC-8 200. Two of them were DHC-8 CAs and none of them had glass time.

Has anyone heard of any call from these guys since the last resume blitz that they asked for. No one has posted calls, or interviews...

I heard from a guy who interviewed. Didn't get the job but said it was a positive experience and was treated well. I think he plans to resubmit future windows.

Phone interview first, then brought down for a day of meet and greets along with an interview that is pretty laid back. A few technical questions and that's a day. Find out in a day or two what the answer is.

The guy I know of did not get the job but was contacted by the VP Ops to be told the "bad news". Better than an email or form letter if you ask me...
