Word is an exemption can be granted for the MGTOW so your Saab sims could be ok. Where do you guys do your sim training? The hardest thing could be finding instructors with ATPs and 2 years airline experience. Would have to be guys/gals on medical leave I would think.

We should be properly staffed in the sim in the coming weeks, bunch of good guys coming into the training department.....sadly not me haha

Hey fellas my request to separate from the Air Force was approved so I am going to be looking for a flying job out of Tampa come January. Silver seems like a very good option. What is the key to applying, getting hired, and eventually getting based out of Tampa? Thanks!

You can get any base as an FO pretty quickly, you might have to come up to my hood (IAD) for a month or so but it won't be forever.

I have an interview coming up in 4 weeks and was surprised to learn that there is no sim eval. Anyway, my question is this... How is training on the Saab? I'm a former ERJ driver getting back into the industry after a four year absence. Systems and procedure difficulty as compared to higher tech RJ's? Whats training like?

I'm an ex ERJ guy too (Hulas university) and it's definitely a good training program here.

Not hurting for pilots? Sure, after the Atlanta system shut down

Even then we'll still be hiring at a steady pace.

Has anyone actually been awarded FLL initially out of training?

There are currently two unfilled reserve lines in FLL....so yes.

Is GNV a likely possibility out of training? Thanks

The system staffing bid is supposed to be out in August per the chief pilot.

I'm an August 4 new hire.....anyone out there got some good advice for a newbie?
