Anyone had success with reaching a recruiter? I've emailed twice in the last 3 weeks with no reply. Perhaps there is another way to connect other than [email protected]?
Every morning is like Christmas morning for me- I make coffee and update my publication dates and just hope to hear anything. Five a’clock comes, disappointment sets in. Wake up the next day, and it’s Christmas again. Once or twice a month I update my total times as well.
It’s a madhouse, but don’t give up. There are many in it with you (is that a good thing or a bad thing? Ha).
Good luck!

They were slow when very few people were applying and the company was short on pilots and they’re getting a ton of applications these days. They’re paying better than other regionals and ULCCs. Expect the application process to take 6-12 months. Honestly, if you can’t wait go somewhere else. Your schedule and QOL will probably be better.

Finally got a response. I had 3 general questions. I was told that if I wanted answers I needed to apply on AirlineApps...which is very disappointing, but I applied nonetheless.
(Me 1000+ previous 121, 280 hrs on Emb-145). Curious to see how long to hear back now that I've officially applied.
One question I did ask was about commuter hotels-what's the process? Anyone know? Is it as simple as asking and receiving or do they make you jump through hoops?

Or alternatively you call right before you takeoff or right after you land from your commute in the night before and tell schedule you’d like a room and they set it up. Commuter rooms are generally a pretty easy process unless you’re asking for one after 11 pm when some hotel venders cut off van service and they have to coordinate separate transportation.

You also get 6 a quarter, 4 max a month from what I was told. Getting a hotel and a ride after 11 is a pain but it’s all good in my book cuz my thought is I’m gone from home anyways so if I’m delayed starting tomorrow, I’m delayed. Commuting to Charlotte is the way to go from any locale unless you live in the northeast and have the flights for Philly. Commuting to Philly has become a nightmare over the last two years out of almost anywhere…at least for me it was.

How many flights per day to PHL from your place?
