Most FO’s are hired with 700-800 hours, when the alternative is flight instructing or flying much smaller equipment. After 12 months or so when 1500 is attained and upgrade completed, salary jumps by ~$100K. It’s effectively a year long path to making six figures as a 1500 hour TPIC.

Is Contour even actively hiring?
Anyone signed a CJO lately?

With Contour flying routes out of Denver and bidding for more, anyone know of a plan for them to open a Denver base?

When does ground school start? how long do you think will the wait be? ERJ or CRJ class?
same question as well can you give a breakdown of your hours? TT? any turbine time? total PIC time?

That was just the culture at Mesa back then. The System Chief Pilot yelled at PIC's for making a fuel stop halfway to destination when due to unforseen events they would be landing with less than 45 minutes of fuel. His comment was "reserve fuel is there to be used". 😲

This is why a strong union safety
culture is important- to keep pilot pushing and unsafe practices at bay. That Chief pilot needs an attitude adjustment.

I was given some dates in June and July for indoc + type. ERJ. Haven’t been updated to believe differently.

A little north of 500TT, no turbine time, plenty of PIC.
