I think it depends. Most of the guys in my class heard something the very next day. There has been a lot going on down here, so it might be a little while.

Well our class finally got through everything, now we just have to wait for IOE to start. I'm ready to get out of this cold and back down to the islands!

I hear there's another Saab class coming up in a couple weeks. Anyone know someone in it? Heard it was all FOs and maybe a mgmt type or two who are getting typed on the Saab.

APC doesn't have the minimums posted in the profile.

drummerguy, or anyone else in the know, what are the minimums / competitive minimums to be considered for the FO position? Is it 1000tt / 100me? What are the average hours of the new hires? Is it in that ballpark?

Also, the profile states that there will be a continuing class every 8-10 weeks. How many are slatted to be in each of there recurring classes.

I have a couple of friends that may be interested in applying but they have low times. TIA

If we do another class in July, I would assume full ATP times. Then again, I'm not 100% sure. When I get over to STX I can ask around and see if I can get you any better information.

I heard many of the applicants are former colgan pilots, is this true? If so, I'm sure they'll all get snatched up fast by Seaborne since they have the S340 time.

Also, any idea how many will be in the May and July classes?

If those CFI dudes or better than that....CFI chicks have close to or at 1500, definitely have them throw an application in the mix. That is how i got my job as a 172 whistle tip patrol pilot .

You can't catch anything if you dont have bait in the water.

So far the rumor is they have 10 or 11 in the May class. I think they want 12 for that class. As far as June, I'm not sure how many they will be looking for.
