Commuteable?

I live near Greensboro, NC and I would really like to stay put. Is it possible to commute to a base or is it worth it?

That will be tough. TW requires crew-members to live within 1.5 hrs from assigned base. However, with ID90 travel and CASS benefits on some carriers, going back and forth on your days off should be possible!

I've applied for the position on feb 28 but I only have 648h total times. How long do you think it will take for the application process? It had been a week now since I submitted my application.

Give it some time. Back when I joined the company, I had total time close to yours. They called me maybe 2 weeks after I applied.

They dont have a way to apply on the website, is there a good email for sending a resume? Ive probably missed the window this time, but it would be good to register my interest!

Unfortunately, Tradewind had to furlough about 85% of the pilot group at the end of March due to COVID and stopped all hiring. When things start to pick up again they will exhaust the recall list before beginning to rehire. If things come back explosively that may be in the next few months, but realistically I would bet on a year to 18 months before the recall list is fully exhausted if things pick up the way they are forecast.
