I got an interview date, but I can't fathom living making $1200/mo.

There is such a backlog of qualified pilots no one will be going anywhere for a while. There are still more furloughs happening, downsizing etc Nothing against GL at all but now is not the time to be chasing upgrades but to look for a place where you can actually hang your hat for more than a few years.

Eight have recently leave for jobs at Alliegiant and Omni (non-recall), two or three in the pool at Southwest. Multiple others take some corporate and 135 jobs. It may not seem like much but with our small pilot group it is a decent percentage. There are also many furlough's getting their recalls with more coming which is keeping the senority list moving. Don't be fooled into thinking you need to drive an RJ, there are plenty of job opportunities for those with Tubine PIC and total time but you can't wait for them to fall in your lap. Besides, I don't know how long you think its going to take to build your time because the 2012 retirements are right around the corner!

Sounds like they are running a class on May 10 with 20 Beech and 6 Brasilia FO's. They may start interviewing in the middle of May for up to 15 more FO's, which groundschool would start early June. Unsure if they will be doing beech and brasilia, or just beech.
