For those of you that work at Surf Air (Encompass now), comparing NorCal to SoCal bases, which is more junior and more likely that you'll be based at?

That's hard to say with all the upgrades happening I'd say it's 50/50 as far as FO's are concerned.

With upgrades do you anticipate more FO hiring over the next few months? I've heard rumors that surf air is looking at lower time guys these days to keep them around longer.... any truth to this? If so any advice for what HR is looking for?

Yeah i think most of the new FO's have less than 600 hours. There are a few closer to 300. Plus other captains & first officers have put in notice since this last class started so they have to fill those spots too. They are after all trying to grow not just fill in current openings. So apply.

Are there any updates on how the acquisition of RISE is going to play out? Is Encompass going to be taking over the flying in TX, or are they just going to re-brand the RISE aircraft into Surf Air?

If Encompass/Surf Air is going to be doing the flying, any idea when they might be hiring to fill the Texas flying?

No one knows. It is a very complication situation with many moving parts.

Looks like the thread has been quiet for a bit. Would any one know if they're hiring either FO's or Capt for the CRQ base?

Thank you

Not unless it grows. CRQ has 3 of the top 5 captains

What about getting based at BUR for an FO position?

The company needs people that already have an ATP as captains are in high demand right now. No matter what your feelings are on Street Captains, we need them. There will still be ample opportunity for internal upgrades.

As for FO's CRQ is filled right now and still has people that want CRQ that are already here. SBA has had some movement lately because of some internal upgrades.

NorCal (OAK/SQL/eventually SJC) & SoCal (BUR/HHR) would most likely be where new hires will end up, regardless of seat position. SBA & CRQ are pretty senior on the captain side of things.

But all of this said, the company wants to grow and take delivery of more airplanes so even though right now we are filling vacancies, the hiring should continue for the foreseeable future.
