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

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.
Its a sad day when pilots qualify for welfare.

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

1. Stare straight ahead.
2. Adjust accordingly.
