Do you guys even have a sufficient amount of pilots? I had a phone interview with Chuck Colgan a few weeks back, and he also mentioned plans to start a base out west. All this growth sounds great for the company, but with all the other regionals hiring and paying more, how will they staff these planes/routes?

Also... they are phasing out the B-1900.

Just spoke with Chuck Colgan on the phone... they are hiring street captains right now for the SF-340. Plans to hire quite a few from what he said. Just hired the first batch today... mostly RJ FO's that have been sitting right seat for a while it sounds like.

Whats wrong with applying for a street CA position boiler? I don't see a problem when you are an FO---with over 3,000 hours total time, and 2,000+ PIC? If it fits into your career plan go for it.

You gotta admit though, most everywhere (other than Eagle) is or will be upgrading pilots under 3.5 years longevity very soon.

Nothing - if you're a 7-year Eagle FO or 4+ years into the right seat like your friend at Comair, or if you're making a move for QOL reasons only (like a domicile closer to home). I simply hate the mindset some pilots have of making a bunch of lateral moves in search of that fast upgrade. If someone has the attitude that they're entitled to that left seat or too good to be an FO, then everything is wrong with that...and we both know people with that attitude.

The grass isn't always greener.... Boiler--I guess by the "C-550" position your not at AWAC anymore---where'd you go?
