Had a phone interview the other day for an FO position. Said they would call me back in about a week or two. Is this normal for 9K or do they usually set up an interview on initial contact? The phone interview went well, was mostly HR stuff and tell us your aviation bio so far etc... Any other peoples experiences would be much appreciated!

rudiMENTAL, Would you mind sharing your times? I'd like to apply possibly this fall for an FO position with them, so I'm just curious what they're hiring at for the position. (I know their website states 1000TT)
Thanks!
Thanks!

It really doesn't matter too much to me, to be honest. I'm just curious how they do that. I'd stick it out through the contract no matter how long that would be. I prefer to keep former employers happy

Do your homework and know what you're getting into. If you get an interview, be yourself. If you get the job, don't be in so much of a rush to move on that you miss out on enjoying the job.

If you come in as an FO, give the company at least 12 months once you get your ATP and you'll be more than welcome to move on and remain in good standing. 12 months is enough time for the company to make a return on their end of the investment (training you). It's also enough time for you to enjoy at least 2 seasons of flying, perhaps flying in a different region or two, or three, and to get some solid experience as well as a few good flying and non-flying stories along the way to help pass time at your new job/crashpad/over beers.

Any chance they place FOs at the PR bases on the west coast? I guess it all depends on the need, eh?

There was a guy on another forum, the JC forum to be exact, He/She seemed to have great knowledge on the company & went into great detail on how this policy worked internally. It was something like this & this is his words not mine...
"If someone comes in as Capt, then you sign a 12 mo contract, if you come as FO, then sign a 12 mo contract after the upgrade to CA.
If you ever leave before that period, even if you never upgraded, even if they never paid for your ATP, basically, if you ever leave before serving the 12 month term as a Capt, they will MARK as "NOT Eligible for Re-hire"
He clearly said, if someone was coming here with the intent of just to reach 1500 & leave then it is not worth it to get that Black Spot on your record..
Again these were his views, not mine..
I have tried my level best to find that thread on JC, so I could contact that poster.
Now, I know many airlines may not care about "Not eligible for Rehire" thing, but I know are a few who do care..

Would this show up in PRIA or somewhere else? From what I thought, most companies will only give out the dates of employment and position held when contacted, at least in a non-aviation setting. I'm a bit unclear on this and curious even though it may not affect me.

Pria is all about training events- this has only to do with the inability to return to Cape air in the future. When you leave, you fall under 2 catagories- Avail for rehire or unavail for rehire- or something to that effect. While I wouldnt burn a bridge, some opportunities cannot be overlooked.
