When I was there 3 years ago, SDY was almost the most jr base.

The islanders are mainly out of SJU, but they won't stay much longer. There're gonna retire them due to staffing issues from what I hear. They shut down PVD-BID run for the same reason two years ago.

Good to know. Granted things may have changed, but it's still Sidney, MT

Montana went to a central Billings base a couple years ago.

Thanks for the heads up. I suppose it's still driving distance, just a few hours longer...

Not trying to be discouraging, but that is a nasty drive in the middle of a snowstorm! Something to keep in mind. The drive will get old fast enough then throw in winter driving.

Had the skype interview with them today, pretty easy stuff, very nice guys. Has anyone tried to commute while flying with them?

Oh trust me, I know all about winter driving. I have lived in Bismarck for almost eight years. Not a particularly fun idea to drive to and from BIL on a regular basis. But, considering I'm still 250 hours away, anything can and will happen by then.

Just figured I'd start looking.

I suppose it depends on what your commute looks like. Back when I flew for them (not long ago), the schedules involved very long days that start early and end late. If you were commuting daily that'd be difficult. If you were commuting on the front and back of a four day duty period that'd be more manageable, but then you have to think about the cost of a crashpad and parking in addition to any other expenses you already have. The pay doesn't give you much to work with.

Question

Hey Guys,

One quick question. Do you start making $ 11.00 hour as an FO at C'Air ? How much do you fly ? How about QOL ? Do you have to sign a 30K contract training to fly a 402 ?

Thanks
