Looking for some info on this company. I know it is a great company, but I would like more specifics. I am with another regional but would like to get to this company because I live in Milwaukee and would like to be based at either Milwaukee or Chicago. I have under 1000 hours though. Even though I am type rated in a CRJ and have over 200 hours will I still have to wait to reach 1000 hours? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help and you can "pm" me too if you don't want to post on here.

Well that's good since you'd be going to Milwaukee or Chicago whether you like it or not. Definitely Milwaukee, 95% Chicago. And my understanding is they're holding firm on the 1000 hours. You might try applying anyway; I believe they'll interview certain people in the 850 range, but I think you need 1000 to start class.
By the way, how is Milwaukee anyway?

I just finished training on the CRJ...there were a few people in my class from other airlines (Mesa, Trans States) who had quite a bit less than 1000, but since they had 121 jet time it helped them out. Definitely get your app in...I just finished training and I have almost 100 guys underneath me (not including those hired on the E-120).

Not sure how the guys hired onto the E-120 AFTER me would push me down? I'm well aware that a pilot hired before me, regardless of airplane, would have higher seniority than I would.

how do I get my application in when it will not even accept it because I am less than 1000 hours? Again thanks for all the replies. About Milwaukee, great city in the summer, there are festivals every weekend on the lake and the dowtown area is a lot of fun, plus you have the Brewers and Bucks in town if you are a sports fan and Chicago is only an hour south. Winters...well that is a different story, but you get used to it.
