Hey...to any current Gama pilots out there: is it worth my time to drive down to DFW for the FAPA on 9 December? I'm currently sitting at just over 2,600TT, 500PIC (mostly KC-135), and over 2,400ME jet time. Looking to get out of the 121 world and be home based in ICT.
Your thoughts?

There is talk of a new compensation package being introduced later this month too.
Good luck.

You'd likely be considered for a First Officer position with those times but upgrades are relatively quick if you're competent and you stay off the s?!t list. They recently hired a lady to sort through the initial pilot applications so be patient . They frequently advertise on the orange site so I'd apply through there. Better still, if you personally know a Gama pilot you could ask him / her to recommend you.

Thanks for the reply!
Can you offer any insight to the quality of Life?
Typical 8 day tour, do they airline you to airplane from your base?
Or do you stay in proximity to your base?
Is this a commutable type operation? I.e. DAL based and live 200 miles east of DAL. I position myself to DAl for my 8 day tour?
Thanks
