Oh dang, thanks for the info.

Yeah no one knows why, and they didn’t give her a reason. It’s too bad, she will definitely be missed.

Any insight when FO positions will start opening up again?

Is Truckee a domicile for you guys/gals? I've read/heard two different answers recently. I think this is a 'no' as TRK is just a destination but wanted to get a straight answer.

Truckee is not a crew base. We have two FO’s that are from that area but they both live in the Bay Area now.

There was a schedule reduction a couple months ago and it happened right after a class of FO’s hit the line. So we are flush on FO’s right now.

We are severely understaffed on Captains so that’s the focus right now. There’s a class of 8 or 10 captains going through training right now and even that isn’t enough. But management seems to think it is so it looks like captains will continue to work 95-105 hours a month and get 8 days off. The QOL that we used the have is gone and it probably won’t get much better till March or April & that’s only if no one else quits on the Captain side, which is extremely unlikely.

FO’s on the other hand are flying 40-50 hours a month and averaging 16 days off.

Thanks SkiPilot,

I am hoping to have the requirements to be a direct captain hire but it won't be before April, more like the end of summer/first of fall. I'm going to send you a PM if you don't mind, seeing as we may have a common interest in skiing.

yikes.....

FO positions
 

Is Surfair hiring FO's and if so where would one apply. Didn't know if the change of management was using a new website for pilots or if they're just not hiring at the moment. Thanks in advance

We aren’t hiring FO’s at the moment. There are rumblings if a captain class but there’s no set date yet.
