Can someone give me some more information on the contract.
Currently sitting around 800hrs and trying to decide if the 15 month contract is worth it. How much do they charge for the cost of training? Is the amount decreased each month I'm employed? Got an offer and seriously considering but the contract is the only thing holding me back. Seems like I'd be there 2 years and some change...long commitment.
Thanks

Trivial commitment for the amount of experience and training you get. They spend way more on you than the training bond asks anyway. Probably to get you from FO to ATP year one, the training alone is probably 4 months cumulatively of instructors, airplanes, simulator, hotel. And until you’re an ATP you’re only a cost to the company. Find my previous post here if you want a longer discussion of the benefits of Cape.

I'd love to get my hands on some of that documentation, POHs and Checklists for CA. As an outsider looking in, I understand the 402s are going away and would like to find what I can and use it in my online flying.

Sorry, that's proprietary company info. The 402s will be around for a decade - will take that long to replace them, and that's assuming no growth...

Bases
So, I understand that the Midwest bases (Kirksville and Ft. Leonard Wood) are pretty junior and fairly easy to get out of training as an FO.
How easy/hard is it to get those bases as a PIC and/or Captain?
I only ask as those bases are close to home and I will only be an FO for a short time.
Thanks!

Good stuff for those scheduled for interviews in the near future. Good luck one and all.
