Your thoughts?
I saw the GAMA reps at the FAPA in ORD in September. I'm pretty sure they'll be in DFW. If you want to work there, it would be worth your time.

I wouldn't go out of my way. Just send in your stuff once a week until they call.

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

Default New pay package?

Does the company website reflect the new pay package? If not can you elaborate on the Package?

Thanks.

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
