Aren't some of the CR7 contracts up in 2014? So they could very well begin the bidding process sometime in 2013. They could easily leave those companies and be transferred to somewhere cheaper, like the 900s that end in PQ.

Are there openings for the lower time folks?
I have ATP mins -100 hours XCTY -7 night. Going to talk with them today at the job fair in ATL. Seems like a lot of higher time applicants. We have had several lower time folks. Really, we have had a wide variety of people coming here. They range from ATP-mins up to 10K+ hours. That said, they are very firm, that you must have the ATP mins. I have a good friend who is just shy on the ATP time (like you are) and they have said repeatedly, that its ATP mins or no luck. I hope this helps. |

Heh, there was a Lottery ad at the end of this thread. Mhmmmm, irony, delicious!
BTW, have an interview in a couple of weeks. On balance, it sure looks like a great opportunity to break in to 121 without going on food stamps...guess we'll see. I can say that I've spoken with three current pilots and they range from "happyish" to "thrilled". Take that for what it's worth. ~7k total time, ~4k TPIC, 800 or so jet PIC, all 135. I would most likely live in base if I'm hired. Wish me luck, I'll report back with the latest and greatest. PS. Any info, thoughts, etc very welcome indeed from current GJ pilots, PM or otherwise. Good luck on your interview. Please fill us in as to what the rumors are from the interviewers. I think I speak for many of the G7 pilots, when I say we are happy to be employed. After Comair went under, the management at G7 was nice enough to give us all jobs, and I'm thankful for that. Let us know if you have any questions, and good luck. |

And they had to give you all jobs because they couldn't fill the seats with the new flying they undercut y'all for... |

I have heard several different growth rumors. That said, I don't put any stock into growth rumors until the airframes are on property.

You do know that other airlines were hiring Comair guys right? IMHO, G7 MGMNT sucks and the pilots who show up in droves justify the suck. Hulas have no reason to make it better.

To be fair, Comair guys were tossed to the curb through no fault of thier own. You can't blame them for taking refuge at Gojets until Delta starts hiring again. In the mean time, mortgages need to paid, and mouths need to be fed. Any port in a storm.

I agree, but other airlines were hiring. G7 wasn't the only show in town...
