is the 16/14 schedule the only schedule? Or is it just the amount of days on and days off required a month? For example, could you break it up.....like a 8/7 two times a month? I’m guessing on the 74, that would probably not work, but was wondering if it can be done on the 76?

When an Airman shows up with a good attitude, works hard and doesn’t give up the company has given up to twice as much FTD or Sim time.
Recently had a pilot who struggled due to military TP background and only a few months as an FO at PSA. We got him trained to proficiency and out to the line. He left 2 months after IOE, for of all places, Jet Blue. No he didn’t live in one of their bases. I was very disappointed.

You are going against guys that have jet 121 PIC experience though, so hopefully you have something to make your resume stand out or a good employee rec.
Good luck

I sent in a resume today. I have 11,000 total, about 7,500 121 jet/glass pic.
I've been working in another industry for the last few years and logged 2 hours in the last 3 years. Do you suppose that will be a problem for K4 pilot recruiting?
