Calling snippercr....Here is your opportunity! Not only that, but you will fly old envoy's C7's!


Good Luck!

 

I'm not sure how accurate that is. There are two back to back bids. The first one is for a June 16th class and the second one is for a June 30th class. If what you say is true, are you predicting that the total 40 openings will not be filled?

I'm willing to bet that the 20+20 will be filled with current pilots on the seniority list in seniority order. Now might some of those pilots be street captains in class right now? That's fine but the way it seems to be working will be in seniority order.

PS - new hire FOs are hired before a vacancy is opened. You are hired, you put your standing domicile bid in, you are eventually awarded something during training.

I'm not trying to split hairs on it, but what happens if these 40 new openings are filled in seniority order? Then they would not be street captains.

In my mind, in order to be a street captain, you get hired into such a position without a bid award, or a bid award is lowered in favor of hiring a street captain thereby displacing an eligible and willing pilot. Again, why put a bid out for this?

 

How is the training dept regarding absence? I have a family member getting married and I am a groomsman. I would be literally murdered if I missed it.
Not sure if I should bring it up in the interview, or just wait and see if I could get a day or two off to make the wedding. It's on a Saturday, and rehearsal on Friday night. I didn't know if weekends were off time or what. Thanks

 

You have Saturday's off. In regards to Friday. It depends on what stage of training you are in. Some people have IPT training at night. That could be you.

Nope, I'm ridding this puppy into the ground. Eh RJ Pilot? Eh? Riding this place into the ground.

Please, give us your future prediction on what's going to happen. This is your chance to be the new "Savior" of APC. I'm actually going to be gone for 2 weeks so I'll never read it but others will. I hope to come back to see a few "Latest RJ Pilot prediction...GV type ratings and closed airport authorizations for everyone!"

When you landed in Kai Tak, did your operator require special training?

Thanks!

I bet its a flow with increased numbers every year until we hit full staffing for 150 airplanes and then goes to 10% like what PDT has.

 

I interviewed May 21st for an FO position. Still haven't heard anything back. Really was hoping for a late June, early July class.

 

Anyone have a July or later class date?

 

I actually read it as negative... As in the SSP won't increase by much because the company can't afford to lose any more senior CAs and check airmen right now. We'll know soon enough though.
