Street Captains
 

Anyone know who is hiring street captains?

I've heard BigSky for the Boston base, but anyone else?

colgan i think? Also, is mesa still hiring dash8 CAs for the JFK or DEN ops?

I know it's Mesa, but I have yet to hear one good word about those Dash 8s they run. Obviously bad schedules and work rules but the safety is iffy and that's no good. Multiple high speed aborts, engine fires, etc.

More BS mis-information about the safety thing! It's no worse than anywhere else. And that is coming from guys I talk to anywhere else!

Stay away from the Dash Captain thing, the Dashs in JFK are going away. Replaced with ERJ's from Dullas. You will end up junior and only able to hold Dash FO on the west coast.

The 1900 will get you street captain. Call airmidwest Directly, PM me for the #.

That program may be sold to Big Sky, only a rumor but it seems to have some teeth for a change. I will say this you will be reserve for quite a while as the street captains in my class have learned. 15% of your shifts will be in the right seat. Most likely MCI for right now.

Rumor at Trans States is Street Captains will be hired by the summer...

Why?

I know FOs who were 2004 hires that should have plenty of time to upgrade...

So far this month alone, TSA has already lost around 10 captains to other airlines...They have a class of 10 in March and 20 upgrades in april...and it sounds like there will still be a few after that who have the times to upgrade. But after that, there will be a lot of FO's w/out the mins to upgrade. Again, just rumor, but someone claims to have heard it from the training department. Take it for what its worth.

Colgan isn't hiring street captains.

I have yet to hear this rumor...

like i said, its only a rumor.
