This is right off of their web page...

Job anouncement dated 01 NOV 07

750 Hours Total Time

And you get to earn $16 an hour, thats over twice the minimum wage!

You forgot 'a pulse' as a min req as well.

Though if the trend continues that one might be gone soon as well.

remember that whenever using hourly earnings compared to a regualar 40 hr/week job you need to half that, putting you a couple dimes above minimum wage. now thats the respect im sure you thought you would get when you got into aviation huh??

Mins per the website are the same. However, the company is posting fliers that basically say we'll take street captains if they have the ATP minimums, and that our posted mins. are "preferred qualifications."
