Flitestar, you wanted help, so here goes. Stay away if you have other options.

Just a comment on 1000 hrs experience at a 121 carrier for capt upgrade and 1500 hrs for fos: I called the dot to see when the final rule will be published, and there will be a grandfather of sorts they said. Up to a five year implementation timetable. Unfortunately, the final rule won't be published until oct, so based on the law in the default section, all fos must have ATP by aug 1st, and any captains must have 1000 hrs 121 time. My question to them was if capts at regionals will be downgraded if the 1000 hr requirement was not met by aug 2013. They did not have an answer. Just putting that out there so if you might be affected to look into it.

I'm glad the company was willing to just increase the reserve levels for the short term. Extra reserves around the holidays and in the winter months are never bad things to have at your disposal when the weather gets crappy.
Curious, if your recommendation to others is to stay away, why haven't you left?

Ridiculous is NOT semi senior guys sitting reserve, home based, on the beach in sunny Florida making guarantee.
Perfect, no, ridiculous not even close.
