Hi!

We have two in our September class (starting tomorrow), but that fills us up and we likely won't be able to hire more until the beginning of next year when the upgrade.

Hope that helps!

Hi!

We do pay for your ATP/CTP if you come in on a BE1900 or SA227 with us. We also pay for it if you come in on something else and transition to a BE1900 or SA227. (As a Captain, of course.)

Hope that helps!

I realize this is information from the website and double checked, but is that PIC requirement a typo? 500 TT and 500 PIC?

That's disappointing.

Were these candidates pulled from the existing pool of applicants? I haven't seen a posting for FOs since Feb earlier this year.

Hi, there!

Unfortunately, the PIC time is not a typo.
Our min for PIC time for First Officers in the EMB120 is 500.
It's not an FAA requirement, but a company requirement.
At times, it can be negotiable if your other times are pretty high, but for the most part, 500 is needed. If you have a lot of ME or Turbine, we could take you at maybe 450-475 PIC instead.
Typically, though, it means, you'll come in with 525+TT if you have the 500 PIC (since not all your time through training is PIC).

Hope that helps!

I know! I wish we had more of the 500TT First Officer positions available!
For September, we had two that are finishing up InDoc right now. They came to us through the UPS Gateway Program. So not really from the pool, but not candidates who recently applied either.

Hope that helps!

25ME 100% required or something that can be waived?

Default BFI Base Possibility

Good Morning,

I am getting close to the 135 IFR PIC minimums and have some family commitments that require me to stay in the Seattle area, so I am curious what are my chances of getting hired for an open Beech 99 position in Seattle?

Currently my times are:

Total Time: 1020.1
PIC: 913.8
PtP: 521.1
Dual Given: 172.3
Instrument: 94.9 (All in Flight)
Night: 92.2
Multi: 35.8

From what I hear, new hires with less than 150 hours multi are going to the Chieftain, if I relocated temporarily to get the remaining time at a Chieftain base, would I have a good chance of getting back to Seattle?
