Interested in ASA
 

I aminterested in working for ASA. I am from Atlanta and used to be a Ramp Agent there 10 years ago. I am a military officer (non aviation) and former police officer. I just recently became a CFI and have about 600 hours of flight time.

I like ASA. It is a good airline with a hometown feeling. What do you guys think of ASA? WHat is the training like? Thanks

I have an interview with them on the 30th and 31st, I will let you know how it goes.

If you have the ME time, I'd apply pronto.

I have 58 hours of multi time.

But although I meet the mins, I have never worked in a flying job before,. I am one to believe that justbecause youmet the minimum requirements dosnt mean you'll get the job. I mean all these people are getting interviews, but how many are actually passing training? I dont think I would pass training since I have no experience with jets, a glass cockpit or 121 regs. I am a general aviation pilot. I fly maybe 4 or 5 times a month. I need toinstruct to build my knowledgebase.

Ill be applying when my time gets there. Getting ready to take the pay cut.:( Its a sad day when pilots qualify for welfare.

Well then. . .do what you want, but why would you NOT apply if you met the minimums? Just passing up a seniority number, that you could potentially have.

Of course, you could go out and pay for a CRJ transition course somewhere, of which is not greatly looked upon favorably.

Or - yes - go and instruct somewhere. But do it quick.

I do want to instruct, but I dont think thats going to help me to be a First Officer. I think a good CRJ course would be beneficial.
PFT courses are not loked well upon, I dont think a CRJ transition course is bad. In fact, it was suggested to me by a hiring official at a regional that if I dont have any glass experience that I should do a CRJ course. I think its a good idea

The least of your worries will be the fact that it's a glass cockpit. If you have anything of a half-way decent scan on the 6-pack, glass will be a step down for you.

Flying the ERJ, I no longer have a scan; I have a stare.

You and me both. It takes years of practice and aviation prowess to learn the two required steps of flying a glass cockpit:

1. Stare straight ahead.

2. Adjust accordingly.
