Thanks everyone for the thread. Looks like I am well-qualified as DEC on the ERJ, and even with the negative comments it looks more appealing and lucrative than any 121 FO slot that I could get - and the time counts towards the 121 PIC requirement as well. I'll keep watching & reading, happy for feedback.

Application/Interview Process
Hello! I have seen a few posts in this thread regarding the flexibility of applications and the training process. Does anyone have any information about the interview process and tips to prepare if selected for an interview with Contour? Thanks!

My experience was an initial screening phone call and then a one on one interview with the chief pilot. He asked me all kinds of commercial pt. 91 and normal IFR questions. I would study pilotcafe IFR guide and you should be good for the technical. After the interview, we went and sat and talked to the executive VP. It was very laid back. A few days later they called an offered me the job.

Be very careful
They are really untrustworthy and if it's still the same Chief Pilot G.E. look out!
They make it sound good and that they are nice people but they aren't. They are abhorrent people and will and that executive is one of the worst people in aviation. If it's still the same ex Express Jet person.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. 6 pilot's quit in an eight month period it was so bad.

CRJ vs ERJ
10 pilot’s on the CRJ and six quit in eight months. Only two airplanes. The chief pilot stalked, not made up, one of those that quit. And it didn’t stop there. You have no idea what goes on at that place. With all the hiring going on, why go to a low paying a moral company. I bet if your chief pilot stalked you you might think differently but go ahead, give em a try.
