No hiring classes that I know of until early next year when we begin expanding again. Kinda Fat on FO's right now but there is a slow , expected attrition so possibly?

Yup, 800 TT. I have an internal rec luckily and was told I should be able to get in much sooner than that. Sounds like a great company and I've heard nothing but great things. Only downside is it would require a big move for me but that's how it goes in this industry.

If you are interested in NorCal, i bet they bring you on sooner. A lot of the new hires are being assigned NorCal but most of them want SoCal. So if you have interest in coming to SA and want to actually live in NorCal, that'd be a big selling point for you to the company.

The other thing to consider is that we just got our last new plane of the year and won't get another new plane till January, so because of that gap in deliveries from Pilatus, hiring has also slowed down. I'd bet as the new year approaches that hiring will start to pick back up again.

Are you guys still flying the Legacy PC12s or have they all been replaced by the NGs by now?

Still flying the Legacies until February. Next two aircraft orders are to replace the old and worn out -45s.

Current Surf Air pilots, do you know when the next class(es) for CAs and/or FOs will occur? There was a big ad placement yesterday at bizjetjobs.com for all bases and positions and the "Pilot" position was (re)posted at their website about 3 days ago. Thanks.

Does anyone know what they're currently hiring FO's at, time wise? I sent in my resume/CL last week. I'm at 520tt and Commercial asel/ instrument and currently working on my multi comm.

Also, when's their next training class?
Ahem, adorable....8750tt with sel/mel-ATP. Not interested in the regionals. Haven't heard back. Patience..

It pays to network and meet people that work for the company. Isn't hard these days with social media.

Next class is January from last I heard. Plan is for FO only and finally start upgrading in house guys. Internal recs are highly desirable.

There's definitely a class in January, that's when the next FO is upgrading at least. Also I heard there might be a small class in December but I don't really believe it. The plan is to be double the size we are now by this time next year, so we will be hiring like crazy at some point.
