Hi!

Yes, it's possible.
We have a Home-Based position that puts you on 18, off 12. Not exactly 2 week, 2 week, but close!

Hi!

Have you submitted a resume and completed your application?
I can get a recruiter to give you a call back, I would just need your first and last name, so they can look you up in our system.

Thanks!

I sent you a pm with my info

This damn pilot shortage..

Anyone have any gouge on the accelerated captain program?

Specifically, equipment do they start you out on and pay during that time?

I've seen all types used (Pa31, Be99, Sa227, and Be1900). Pay is standard 31k for FOs from what I have seen. Type may depend on location and runs available, the most important thing is to get your 200 SIC/1000TT in a short time so you can become a captain.

I got the be-99 until I reach around 1500 the be-1900 should be available 31k until I have 50 hours in it since I'm already at 1000 then 44k after line check and release as captain

Jeff90, I'm planning to be there for the 99 program April 3.

And yet that's what they will come into class and tell you-I was just there in February. They know that the only reason people come there is to build time. Thats why they have agreement with 3 (two sheety ones and Allegiant) airlines. They know that 3 years is all they're going to get out of people.
I made it through the Metro program but left for another operator (Non-US) simply for the money. The Metro is not a complicated airplane if you can walk and chew gum. What seems to make it so complicated for folks is that there is no automation, no master warning/caution and the props turn the wrong way. If you will just read the study material they provide (not the 3 ring binder dead weight) you will learn all you need to know to be successful. On the other hand-the SOP's for two crew are the worst I have ever seen.
Overall I thought it was going to be a pretty good job. Never could get an answer on home based schedule though. Recruiter told me 2/2. Some guy came in and said 18/12 and yet another person told me 2/1-based on scheduling needs...and the couple of people that are home based all said its a combination of all the above.

I would add nose wheel steering, aileron control, and braking action to your list of things that were hard to adjust to on the Metro. Free turbine engines on our other planes have far less aborted starts as well. There are many points where I would agree that "it's not complicated," but I would definitely advise against letting that allow a complacent attitude going into training, or any day flying it for that matter.
