Does anyone know how firm the 900 hour requirement is? I'm really stretching here, but I have 550 hours total time. My seasonal job is ending within about a week or two, and I am kind of entering panic mode a little bit.

Anyone know how many hours SICs are getting per month?? Upgrade time to CA? I'm 200 away (TT and XC) from 135 mins so wondering what that looks like with these guys

Skype interview next week so any gouge would be solid as well. Post skype process?

So I have just hit the line out of their October class in SJU and was told that I need to keep good track of my monthly hours. They have a 120 hour per month limit and word on the street is some pilots have been known to accidentally go over the 120. Yesterday I flew 3 turns from San Juan to St Barts and logged 5 hours... From the looks of the schedule most crews will fly three turns a day. They do have some schedules with overnights but they try to get everyone home at night. Upgrade is merit and time. They make it clear from the beginning that you are not just going to upgrade to PIC at the 135 mins. If you are not a team player and not company focused you are going to be in the right seat for a while. They self implement some minimums for PIC's into St. Barts which is this companies money maker destination and it could take an SIC a good 4 to 6 months just to reach those mins if they are not flying into St. Barts regularly. Again I am only speaking for the Caribbean pilots based in SJU. But pilots based up north tend to be more senior with the company so I assume it is not much different.

There were people in my class with less than 900 hours but more than 550... Put in an application... Worse thing that can happen is they tell you to circle back with more time...

Can you start at the north bases before going to SJU?

Yes you can. Just make that request and they'll do their best to accommodate you.
