We are not limitless on the ACP positions, but we are hiring quite a few. For our September training class, we are able to hire five. For our October training class, we will be hiring four.
Yes, those mins are pretty spot on to what we are hiring at.
However, the more TT, more steam gauge time, and more IFR time, the better.
Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions!

FreightDogs,
Thank you for taking the time to help people with their questions. I am just wondering, how difficult is it for a person to get hired as a BE1900 captain with 135 IFR PIC mins, previous Alaska BE1900 SIC experience and little PIC time? Are the chances pretty low? I am also wondering, what's a day in the life of a pilot? Do you help load and unload?
Again, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

This may have been answered already in the previous 300 pages, but is there anything in particular(regs/procedures) I should be reviewing before starting the interview process?
Definitely appreciate any and all guidance here.

We will cover company procedures in class and there really isn't any way to prep for those until you get here and get your GOM and other manuals.
