The only thing you can count on this day and this hour is that pilots are the shortage in the current operation. We will continue to hire and train as fast as we can until we don’t.

I applied here at K4 and my application is at second review. I haven't heard back since the email was sent 3 months ago. I'm currently working in the middle east with
5000 TT, 3400 SIC Turbine (All International)
I was just offered upgrade with bond of 30k for three years. Honestly speaking I would prefer K4 however I'm worried to miss the opportunity of getting the PIC time and end up not getting a call from K4 for interview. I have been dragging feet with this upgrade for 2 months now.
Shall I accept the opportunity or wait futhermore for K4? If I get the upgrade will that help me to get in here later on or will I become more competitive to join the big 5?
Any advise will be really appreciated.

Call HR in YIP - tell them of your dilemma and see what they say
they wont mind the call really - maybe you get an interview maybe not - but worth the dime

Darkzone,
You're in a tough dilemma. Are you flying WB over there or a 737/320 kind of thing? When things are rosey I'd say take K4 or wherever you're waiting for. The big unknown is where you will be during a slowdown. When one does happen, the big 3 or 5 will become more picky; 4 year degree, Turbine PIC, type rating etc.

I'm former K4, liked it there, but the legacy bennies are much better.
