You can try and upgrade when you hit 1500, but good luck. Odds are, an FO who's senior thats been there longer will upgrade, and you'll get bumped or displaced. Junior base is Billings, Parkersburg, Du Bois, and Bradford. Flying schedule is reserve for at least a few months, with 11 days off a month and a 75 hour guaranteed pay. Billings is 3 or 4 day trips. Northeast bases are all day trips. Hope that answers your questions.

Has anyone heard back from back from HR for an interview for the end of the month early next month. I talked to Stuart he said that. Just looking.

They told me they need like 20 more pilot and they gonna keep interviewing on Febraury and March!

All I'm going to say is the sim is extraordinarily tough.

Same for me and my sim instructor was Mr. Norman



Btw... How can I be sure that I'll no get fired after a couple of month being working for then, let say for any stupid reason, just to charge me the training? That's my only worry and what base will be better for me.

The sim at MCO you mean?

Sandrich, thanks for the info. That's what I was looking for.

ha ha... I was waiting for this Cruz, I knew this post was going to happen :D

Hey Man don't get frustrated, keep working on those profiles, profiles, profiles. Keep working on those memory items as well. Sit across a wall and trow a ball with each hand while citing the profiles. Spend your entire day working on those profiles. We have all been there, it takes a bit to get used to it. I had 1300 TT when I went into the ATR sim and I got my @$$ kicked the first few lessons but once I got the hang of flying the airplane and dealing with the profiles, memory items, checklist and dealing with scenarios it was actually a blast when we started doing V1 cuts and single engine go arounds.

....and there it is, Cruz's daily pessimistic post.

After hired, you are on a 12 month probationary period. For that 12 months, they can release you for no reason, you have no union protection (you still pay union dues. It is a closed shop, so the option to join union is up to you, but you pay dues regardless), and you have no severance package. However, this has never happened. For every Saab that comes on the line, they need 12 pilots...so to ge fired, you really need to screw something up.
