In negotiations; no new developments.. don't expect any for a while. The company has the upper hand.

If you are going to take one, I would suggest:

Based in Florida, I believe it is run by a Chautauqua Airlines Cpt.

IBflyin fax your application in or call. I had the same thing happen and I ended getting a call about a week after that email. And you have more total time then I did when I applied.

What was your ME time at? How long ago? Seems like people are getting the call at 80ish ME if their TT is above the mins. If all goes as planned (which it never does between student cancels, wx and maintanence) I should get another 15-20 multi in the next two weeks. Almost there....

I had 125 multi. I can also tell you that personally....my 125 hours of multi time didn't do me a whole lot of good in the sim. Instrument skills and knowledge is what kept my head afloat.

My twin time is west coast to east coast and back and then some. I think I'll wait till I get over 600hrs before I apply. I'll get a jet course free after
300 dual given, but it's based on a crj200.

When I was hired in September I had 1200TT and 40ME. I was short on the multi but I guess that I made up for it with TT. I instructed for two years before and was the Assistant Chief at my flight school at BVI.

If it's free, I would take it. It can never hurt to get more training.
