Good info thanx!
What if you do have the 3 thousand hours already by the time you get hired? Is there any minimum amount of time you have to fly for the company before you are eligible for upgrade?
Also, what are the chances of holding ATL after training?
Thanks again!

It all depends on the companies needs, if they need Captains then you would more than likely get on as a Captain. We have a lot of Direct Entry Captains here, so that's not going to change. Some guys here were hired as DECs, but they're sitting as F/Os because that's what the need was, so hopefully your timing is good. As far as ATL goes, the chances are better than getting somewhere in Florida. It is a reserve base so maybe the chances are decent.

Yeah it's ATP mins, some guys will not make the cut, and I think one guy will not be 23 in August.
There is growth, but we are trying to take care of the guys we are overstaffed with so we can all fly, then plan to have about 500 pilots on property by May. Pick a city, and there's probably rumors that we are starting service there, but SJU seems probable. I hear rumors that come August, 3000TT is for upgrade, so maybe 1-2 years. I'm just waiting for a staffing bid as there are a lot of Captains that are junior to me and others.
