do they require a type rating in one of their aircraft for employment?

I'm quite happy....22 yrs at a cargo airline. 12 plus as a captain.
I also know a few people that have worked at TMC, none are there now.
Good luck to you....

Company provides the type. Not required for employment. I'm sure it certainly doesn't hurt to have it, though.

are they hiring? I'm on the verge of having to start over at the bottom of another regional (mine is chapt 11 and could go chapt 7 over the next several months).

They have a revolving door at that place,from what I understand they have high attrition rate. I talk to there pilots in FBO's all the time, most are waiting out for something better.

Actually, attrition is very low. Do you have a source? Aren't we all waiting out for something better? When you find it, please let me know.

Hiring for attrition only, which is very minimal. The last growth class just got into sims. If you would like any further information, please PM me. Also, please don't listen to the hearsay and the opinions from those on the outside. I came from a regional and this company is 180 degrees from a regional.

Do you consider 25-30% pilot turn-over very low? Spring of 2011, the turnover RATE was running close to 60%. At the end of the year it was about 28%. And that's during a year that wasn't known for lot of hiring, but people still found places to go.

Looks like you've only been there for about 9 months. Let's see what song you're singing in another year or so.

Pretty much what I heard and pretty much anything is better than flying at a regional.

No, I would not consider 25-30% low, but that was over a year ago, and from what I understand it was a time of great turmoil. The guys that stuck it out say it is a very different place from back then. Plus, 28% turnover when you have 23 airplanes is a lot different number than when you have 47 airplanes like TMC has now....it's nowhere near 28%.

If you got out and you didn't like it, good for you. I am happy for you. I am merely trying to provide my perspective with as much factual information as I can. Thanks for you perspective on what things used to be like at TMC. I am sure everyone appreciates your input.

And as for a year from now, I plan on becoming independently wealthy, so I am sure my tune will be even better ;-)
