Anyone still work here who can pm me? Have an interview for 99 captain and would love some details. The offer is 60k and the routes seem to only be 30 min. The person I talked to said average 500hrs a year but I only see an hour a night for 5 hrs a week. Am I missing something? Seems pretty simple for 60k.

What questions do you have?

Are you able to pick up other routes for more money as well as fly for time and a half on the 5th week off? What is the upgrade time to 1900?
Thanks
Thanks
If MKE based you'll probably be used to fly the 200 occasionally. If based other than MKE more than likely you won't fly the 200.
As long as you get the required rest you can volunteer to fly on days off, and are paid accordingly for doing so. Upgrade time to the 1900 can be as little as six months depending on staffing.

Former CFI/CFII, current commercial, multi, instrument with about 850TT, 223CC, 90 simulated IMC, 13 IMC. I am a South Florida pilot and most IMC conditions are thunderstorm related so real world IMC is hard to come by. I meet all the other minimums required except the 25 IMC. Should I still submit my resume?

Interested
Hello,
Wanted to get advice from people working in the company. Just got back to aviation, did my IPC and few hours timebuilding to get me proficient. 46multi but, not multi current. Currently at 1190TT, 85 night, 1000hrs PIC with past 135 experience. Pretty much got the 135 reqs other than night time. Just wanted know do I even have enough qualifications to get my resume looked at by freight runners HR? I’m really interested but, having doubts cause of not being multi current.
Thanks.
