Just to add to what EMAW said, FO pay basically goes up by 5K and CA 4K per year of service. I believe in the next month or two we should be hearing about pay scale increases or some type of stock bonus structure

Sort answer, no.

Long answer, there is a slight chance you could be hired as a street captain with the right qualifications, but unlikely in this current environment. That would be the only way to be a PIC right away. Upgrades are limited right now because there is little to no attrition (they don't really publish this info so this is based on anecdotal evidence), but some are occuring. All the people I've heard of have been in the 12+ month range. I've heard from a few people that they hint at 6 month upgrades during hiring, and it could happen, but plan on 12+ months (even pre-covid).

Thanks!
I keep oing back and fourth wondering if its for me or not. Whether i should wait at a chance that an LCC or cargo carrier calls, relly catch 22 with the trainign contract.

Does anyone have any info as to why the delay in starting new hire classes at DPJ when WU and GAMA already have started some?

Is it due to the integration with WU? Lack of demand? Other factors?

I致e been sitting in the pilot pool for almost a year and I知 just trying to get an idea of what DPJ is waiting for.

No idea. I'm right there with you -- other than different equipment demands? Surprised they didnt offer DPJ pool floaters KingAir slots since they have been hiring for them. Granted the min's for the KingAir are higher than what DPJ hired with so I wouldn't qualify for the Kingair slot based on the Job req. I have pretty much come to terms with I won't be hearing from DPJ.

Click it and see what happens. That should tell you everything.

Contact the recruiter(s) that put you in the pool at DPJ, they might be able to give you insight as to what is going on.

Yup, it's just been that every month or so for a year. Needless to say, I fully understand it's beyond complicated during mergers and acquisitions, especially during these times.
