Reason I ask is because in the app, it lists if I've had any gaps in employment and why....but as an independent contractor, sometimes you just do...... - would that be an issue?
I would just fill in the blanks as it asks. I'm not an HR expert but id assume its more of the generic fill in the blank lines showing you have had a job and explaining any long gaps in employment. I seem to remember there being an definition of what they see as a long gap in employment on the app. (don't hold me to that)I would just fill it out how it appears. I've reviewed resumes from several independent contractors and didn't move them to the "no pile" for short gaps in employment. I actually only asked a question to one guy who had a 4 month gap and he quickly explained that they don't spray a bunch of crops in the winter time. Great answer and moved on from there without a second thought.

The only employment questions I was asked back in December @ PSA was about my current job as an operations manager and how much flying I did holding that position. I also think that was just small talk because the HR lady had stepped in the hallway for a moment to take a phone call. After that it just rolled into the normal aircraft flown and simple systems questions like mentioned in the gouge.

Good deal. The corp has been under my name since it was founded, so no issues there. It'll just be interesting to put the "supervisor's name and phone number" under the slots, since I've been the supervisor of my independent contractors since I run the business. I'll just have to explain...

There's plenty of self employed folks working at the airlines who listed themselves as the contact.

You can count the amount on the PSA Facebook. The one on the far left looks like he has a lot of CAP experience. But other than that, I don't know the experience level.

Flight benefits start on your 16th day of employment (which is your first day of class).

You, your wife/husband, kids, and parents all get flight benefits. As far as buddy passes go, you get 16 per year. Buddy passes are good for one direction of travel, not leg by leg. (so, if you go from MCO to CLT, and CLT to LAX, that is one buddy pass).
