Possibly bring back the ACP?
I remember two to three years ago they rolled out a program for people that was between 800-1000 total time and short of the 1200 needed to get the Captain 135IFR. I remember it was called the Accelerated Captain Program. Was the program successful with the people they had brought in and what the possibilities of they bring that back again, especially with the increase of the airline hiring people and majors picking up as well.

We also regularly hire into the right seat of the E120. Again, many of those are from UPS due to our partnership. But we do hire to that position off the street as well.

I check at least daily to see if there an opening for the FO especially hoping for the PDX location to pop up so that I can try for that spot.
