Our solemn mission here is “Tool Avoidance”, i.e., keep the “tools” out, and recruit and retain the great people.. We are actually pretty successful at it, thanks to our DO JH. Fortunately, I was able to slip through the cracks, 😂..
Getting hire here is like getting hired at the Majors back in tha day.. No Hogan Test, no logbook review board, and nobody is going to ask you what your spirit animal is or make you take a Sudoku test made up by a non-pilot type. It is very pilot-centric, and is mainly a test to see if you would be fun and professional on an 8 or 15 day rotation.
Just treat it like any interview.. Shower, shave, dress nice, and be yourself.. But do be ready to answer “Why here and not Netjets, etc..” (Quick upgrades, live in the middle of nowhere, etc..). No real gotchas.
Good Luck!

I have been at the company 6 months and here is what I have noticed. Overall I give the company a 9/10. I would equate it to a LCC on the 121 side. You are not going to make the money that you would make at NJ or FLEX (121 equivalent, the big 3), but that income, in my opinion, comes at the cost of QOL. I like not being worked to min rest on most days. I like the smaller company. At NJ or FLEX I believe you are just a number and the computer puts you in the "most efficient slot" regardless of time worked or anything else. I have noticed a SIGNIFICANT improvement on hotels based on the fact they will take your recommendations (I doubt NJ or Flex do that). I have stayed at a few bad hotels but they ask for feedback and were all LARGE chain hotels in small towns. They cant know everything! My fear is they will grow into the next Flex of NJ and computers will take over everything! Great company and I have not encountered any hassles when things need to get done!

JH was a bit incredulous that I wanted to leave a major airline job a year early… I guess he accepted my answer.

Definitely like the “no tool” policy. Just curious about the two pilot interviews. Looks like the first pilot interview is by video. Other than wear decent apparel, be clean, and be yourself was it a basic HR interview or combined with a technical review. Doesn’t seem to be anything out there as a guide. If that goes well what is the second interview like?

Good afternoon everyone,
I read on this thread several posts back that the 15-13 schedule is the junior schedule. Am I correct in reading that everyone will be 15-13 until they have enough seniority to bid for an 8-6 schedule? If so, how long do you estimate one would be on the 15-13 schedule before being able to hold an 8-6 schedule?
Thanks
