I will wear one just to cover my unshaven face.

Should have stayed where i was, as i would still be making full pay.

Yes, i am rac i guess, but i was working at a bottom feeder acmi outfit. I work hard at the new job
Let me guess
atlas?

I get it. We’re only getting paid 2/3s, so I only shave 2/3s of my face. Now with the masks at least I don’t get looked at funny...

Anyone know on average how many DPJ a/c were airborne at any given time pre-covid, or are airborne to be considered full strength? I'm in the hired pool awaiting a training date and have been watching flight aware to see how many a/c are in the air. Noticed today stronger numbers than recent. Trying to get a sense of when training might start based on the busyness of flights.

Some of the stuff on the call aren’t meant to be public yet but I can tell you it was all positive. I would suspect people in the hiring pool will hear some news shortly. Sorry for being a bit cryptic but I’m not sure how much they want out until it’s public.

Thanks bus driver! I appreciate it. I know the hiring staff is super busy so I didn't want to bother them with a question i'm sure they receive daily. Just trying to plan for a wedding and honeymoon in October and hoping to get through training before then! Thanks again and look forward to hearing the news/update.

Would Wheels Up hire FOs with 25 hours or less of multi time?

For the Gama side of the house - Depends on your other experience, but not likely. If you're right at ATP mins, I'm not sure if I would even bother applying. If you have a bunch of single engine turbine and Part 135 time, it wouldn't hurt to apply. All they can do is say no!
