Just apply. We've had a few 300 hour FO's lately

How many are y'all hoping to bring in with your latest round if you don't mind me asking?

Rumor has it at least 8 FO's plus some internal upgrades.

And now the rumor is 14-16 FO's. Granted I'm assuming it'll be 7-8 initially with the upgrades & more to follow.

Any talk or rumors of them opening other pilot domiciles outside of CA with the future route expansions?

Starting to think that one has a better chance of getting hired with a wet commercial than with 800+ hours with that big a hire group.

I'd imagine a nice chunk of FOs upgrading leaving them wanting new low-time pilots with a year+ of time before potential upgrade or a bounce to the airlines

Personally, I'd want to stick around, upgrade and get more deeply involved at a small, growing op, no question -- not rushing to the airlines just yet!

It's a mixed bag. Some people might show up with the intention of leaving sooner but the QOL of sleeping in your own bed every night tends to result in people sticking around
