Default Thoughts anyone???? GLO Airlines

Hello,

I just received a phone call today regarding an interview with GLO Airlines operated by Corporate Flight Management; a startup company flying SAAB340's based in New Orleans! This seems like a great opportunity for someone in my situation as for I only have (750TT, 65ME). Presently, I flight instruct full-time for a busy international flight school out West and I'm building time fairly quickly. My ultimate goal is to eventually make it to the Majors with a planned pit stop at the Regioanls.

What would do if you were in my shoes? The starting pay almost doubles what I'm making now and I have nothing holding me back. My only fear is leaving my steady source of employment for something that could flop in 6-months leaving me jobless!

Do the interview. I currently work for Corporate Flight Management on a different airframe/contract. In my interview, the explained that if our contract tanked, they would try to find me work elsewhere in the company before just cutting me loose. I love this company. The CP and DO are great guys. The new executive management has done great things which are really stabilizing the company.
As for the experience, it's good two pilot crew experience on a scheduled route like you will see the rest of your career based on the goals you stated in the OP. If you have specific questions, PM me and I will answer what I know.

Jump on it and start studying Saab 340 systems, I heard it is not an easy airplane.
Don't worry about your steady source of employment, there is no such thing in aviation.

It is 135. CFM has a 121 certificate but don't use it as of now.
