We had a captain leave to AIr medical resource group, he's making 110k now flying king airs , but he's the only one that's left that I know .
We have regional captains that wanted to be home more , regional FOs too. I got in with 500 hours and got upgraded within 6 months . So not a bad gig, can I get into American , United or delta from here ? Probably not , but good pay, also turbine PIC might possibly give me a chance to get into frontier , virgin , or allegiant, maybe not , but people are happy here regardless .
Don't come hoping you will get into United , come to enjoy the company , and the job. And because you want to be here .

It doesnt matter , That's not the point of this thread .
Yes they will hire direct entry captains , must meet IFR 135 mins , and they want you to have some turbine experience , if none they will make you a first officer for a couple of months . And than upgrade you .
The latest is :
LAX PHX DEN DFW ATL bases
ABQ base is closing , the flying is not affected , everything stays the same, except where the pilots live . The pilots there dos get relocation packages.
King Air 350 will be coming online in the first quarter , and will initially go out of DEN.
There are a few new cities from Denver , which will start next month hopefully.

CASS is all done , with the exception it has to be approved by the FAA , maybe a couple more months , or DO is working hard on this , we all want it bad .
For the meantime we still can jumpseat cabin only on southwest and virgin America .
The king airs went somewhat senior on seniority at the Denver base , I know one specific captain that was one number away from holding a spot in it .
As far as FO , I'm actually not sure , they may or may not need anyone in it , but it's worth applying and asking if you want it , we will see more come in the future , just a matter of time .
