Thanks, they picked up a few runs out of san juan and possibly more on the way, so they upgraded a bunch of us. Ground school is pretty organized now and that's a huge plus!

Do you know if they tend to stay away from people well over the mins?
I think they want people right in 1000hr range, that way if people leave or they get a bunch of runs they are close to 1200 hours and can upgrade to captain after a few months on the line. Upgrade does not normally happen after a few months, but I think they just want to prepare themselves.

Typical cargo schedule, duty on around 2100, fly at 2200, land at the hub at 0000....sit for a few hours, take off at 0430, land at 0630. Work Monday night to Saturday morning. If you are on the west coast you will take off to the hub earlier, and depart the hub later....to hub at 1800, leave hub at 0800.
Times vary run to run, but that's about it. 5 days a week until you quit.

Do you know if they are looking for a new hire FO for San Juan? I lived there for a few months flying a short lived cargo contract and loved it.

How about the IAH to AUS run? Think that one will be around for a while? I would work at ACC for years just to work up to that one.

Call the company, they were just looking for people typed in the shorts from san juan that can speak the language and know the area. As far as IAH, it's DHL, easy run, 2 weeks on 1 week off, goes senior...kind of....just depends on what people want.

Are most of the senior guys looking to move on, or are they planning to stick around a while?

Every air cargo captain I've spoken with has a strong desire to move up the food chain, so to speak. YMMV.
