Took me several months to get a phone call, then a couple more to get an interview, then another month or so for a class date. They simply have tons of apps to get through, and a small hiring dept and they're not hiring a whole lot anyway. After I hadn't heard anything for a while I called, and emailed a bit to follow up (KP in recruiting is very friendly to talk with) but with everyone applying it must be overwhelming to get to everyone.

By the way, last I heard from the pilot recruitment people, you needed an ATP and an internal rec to get an interview. It's tough out there...

There are still some open lines in STL the pilots are based at the outstations and are home each night. Each base has 3 lines a
TWTF afternoon line
MTWT morning line and a
FSSM line like this:
Friday-morning
Sat and sun - all flights (start later in the day and end earlier than normal i think)
Monday-Evening schedule
All flying is Passenger
Some pilots are commuting
what is CPT?
No layovers as mentioned above.

I read that as "captain."
I hate to say it, but the STL lines are kinda junk. I'm not sure what the FO lines look like, but CA lines are all 4 on/3 off with 8 hour duty days and 35-39 hours of credit per week (min guarantee is 35 hours). It's hardly above min guarantee, so I don't see why you'd bid one of these lines when there are open 4/3 schedules that credit 47+ hours. On the flip side, if you really don't want to work, there are available 4/5 lines (yes, 4 on/5 off) at the ALB outstations that pay min guarantee. Since people are only working slightly above min guarantee with these STL lines anyway, I'd much rather take the extra days off.
Now, if you're from the area it could be a great move. Not everyone wants the Rutland or Saranac Lake high time lines.
