Do a search of the forums and you should be able to find plenty of info about the company on this site.

As an update, they have currently filled classes through the end of July/beginning of August, which equates to about 65-70 on the seniority list.

Competitive mins are greater than 2500 TT, 1000 Turbine, ATP with some multi-crew PIC experience. Exceptions have been made for career FO's that have "insider help", mainly people that used to work for Independence Air.

About 100 hired so far (not necessarily in class), with 9 being mgmt pilots (non-line pilots). Currently interviewing to fill classes in Sept. Starting to run a class of 12 every other week. Not looking at anyone below 3500 hours now (I'm sure there are some exceptions like flyerjosh mentioned).

Will MSP be the only base or will Memphis be a base too?

They say MSP for now, with a high probability of MEM and DTW later on.

Really hired 100 already? I'm not questioning your accuracy, but that seems pretty steep. 2 weeks ago they said 70. How long until upgrade for the Sept. class guys, in your opinion?

If I had to guess Sept guys are looking at sometime next year (1st or 2nd Q) for upgrade. July classes will probably be the last bunch of initial street captains.

Hmmmm Josh. Looks like our old friends are up to their old tricks. They painted a completely different picture during my interview 2 weeks ago, but if those are the numbers - it would make sense. You and I will chat soon. Pretty sure I don't want to go sit F/O for an eternity again. And yes, 6 or 7 months at F/O pay is an eternity, haha. Cheers.
