- One year. Don't remember the amount. $18K maybe?
- Absolutely not. However, MX control sometimes aren't the friendliest guys to talk to after a long day.
- No. Start times are predetermined and everything is legal. Go home day sucks a little sometimes as it's not counted in your duty day.
- Put in your stuff to find out. Who knows.

I was hired as a street Captain back in March. Everything is relative, compared to L3, Gama is a much better place. They have growing issues, like any company and I'm certainly frustrated at times but overall, I like it. I certainly may move on but I'm doing my year. I will say the pay is decent, don't know much about the medical insurance as I am a retired military aviator but I certainly would like to see an inrease in pay with seniority. That would be my wish.

Thanks, Starbucks

If I understand your comment, your travel day to get home is applied against your off duty days?

On the last day of your tour (day 8) you will duty off, then airline home. Technically you could work a 14 hour duty day, then airline home but that rarely happens.

Is the ATP requirement a must or will they allow you to do it during the type? I exceed all requirements substantially but do not have my ATP yet.

If you have you're written done, I'd submit your resume. Doubt they'll pay for the CTP, but I don't think a type rating/ATP ride costs differently.

I know there have been a least a few people come in with just the ATP written completed.

Default Hiring for west coast bases

The GAMA website recently showed west coast bases for the King Air operation.

Does anyone have any idea when they may start hiring and interviewing to fill those vacancies??
