I ran into an old coworker from another regional on an overnight last night. We got talking, an he was asking how many hours of credit I received per hour of flying on average. I called scheduling today and got them to send me my FLICA schedules from the first 5 months of the year, and combined them with the last few months that I can still access.

For the year, I am averaging 1.423 hours of credit for each block hour. This includes training, cancellation, DH, and vacation.

Any idea what the average would be?

Hi guys, another new guy question: If one is based at Dayton for example and they commute to their base, does the company help with the hotel? Thanks.

So I finally heard back from PSA and it doesn't sound like good news .. they said " they are persuing canadites who appear to match their requirements more closely at this time" ... now I did apply with only 1385 TT. Does this sound like flat out rejection or do they want me to get my time up and closer to my 1500tt and apply again? .. I mean I'm a cfii/ MEI so I don't know what else they could be talking about ...

For someone with 1385TT, they have no idea if it's going to take you 2 months or 8 months to get to 1500. When you get within 25-50 hours I'd apply again, and keep updating all the way till 1500.

The company will reemburse you up to $250/month for a hotel.

Going to another airline is an option, however, if you're making good hours where you are a flight instructor then another sound option is to get the hours as quick as you can there and reapply. This could get another application in front of the decision makers months ahead of using another airline as a stepping stone. Training takes months in most cases before you ever log a single hour and reserve moves slow. You could get your 200 hours much quicker staying put.
