Anyone know if they are hiring/will be hiring EMB FO's anytime soon? What are the mins for that position?

5 of us in the current 120 class, so I think it'll be a while until there's another one. I'll check tho. There's one guy in our class with just over 500 hours.

Damn, that's just my luck! :D

Do you have a contact that I might be able to call and get some info on upcoming classes or are EMB classes once or twice a year (or something like that?)

The company usually only hires BE-1900 "street captains" (1900 captains hired off the street, rather than folks who progressed up the seniority list into the larger airplanes) when they can't find an in-company pilot to bid the trip. It's been known to happen, but not very often.

Mis-typed when I tried to clarify my post (it's the 6am sim sessions getting to me)...4 in the class, not 5. Check your PMs

EMB FO classes are on an "as needed" basis. FOs are normally expected to remain in their position for one year. (Obviously, if they don't have 1200 hours by then, they can't transition until they do.) I know of at least one spot that will likely be coming open around October. I'm not sure of any others.

Does anybody know how many of the flights have first officers on them? Do PA-31 flights have any FO's sitting in?

Hey guys, some more questions for those at CVG:

What's the nearest city to get a rental at?
is there a site for AMF guys to check on crashpads?
At the outstation, is it an fbo or what?
Can you give me the specific location of the outstation? facility available to pass the time or just lounging around pretty much? Figured at the least I could get a work-out in or get back in school and do homework.

I am just trying to plan in case I do good on the interview.

Thanks all!

Thanks Earl. I really appreciate all the information on this forum. As others I hope to meet the qualifications soon.

Thanks again.

The only flights that have paid, employee FOs are the E120s. All the other flights can operate single pilot, so the only FOs we have are the ones who have bought flight time through outside flight school programs.

And before anybody jumps in about "pay for play" and "stealing jobs", it is in our Ops Specs that the commercial FOs can log time so it has been signed off by the FAA. And if they weren't there, no one would, so no one is loosing a job because of them. It's just a chance for new folks who don't want to do flight instructing to get the time required to get a job and do it while getting real world weather and operations experience.
