Hiring..... is your company and what are mins
 
Just curious, who is hiring and who is not. And what are the mins at those places that are hiring

Compass is... 1500TT/1000ME

Piedmont is still hiring I believe, although they post-poned the August class for now and slowed quite a bit due to lack of attrition.

500/50

Speedbird172 05-25-2008 03:35 AM

Comair is hiring plenty for the summer....still 600/100 as far as I know.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think Piedmont still may have a shortage of first officers. At least it looks that way looking on some of the base staffing lists. People have been saying that they may have postponed the August class because of the huge backlog of trainees stuck in training. They've been falling steadily behind since this hiring rush began and I think most classes are looking at almost a month or maybe more between ground school and sim training. However, since they finally raised the hiring mins from a heartbeat and a commercial multi certificate to 500/50, I guess they are starting to slow down...

I'm pretty sure SkyWest is still accepting resumes. There was a rumor of a jet class in June, but that would most likely go to Brasilia FOs. So you're looking at a Brasilia class if you're hired. The mins are 1000/100 OR 800TT & 200 in an RJ

dontsurf 05-25-2008 06:36 AM

skywest is actually going to be running interviews every weekday in june. not sure what it's for, but we're sure going to be interviewing a lot of people. now's a good time to get resumes in, i'd say. one would assume (sometimes a bad idea) that if we're interviewing a lot of people, we'll be hiring a lot of people. minimums were already posted here.

IFly17 05-25-2008 06:43 AM

Great Lakes is always hiring.

groovinaviator 05-25-2008 06:44 AM

AWAC is hiring about 12 per month. Published minimums are 500/125, but that can all change if you know someone. My guess is that competitive minimums are a bit higher including 121 experience.

hotelmode 05-25-2008 07:13 AM

ASA is hiring into a pool. I think minimums are 1000/50. I've been told when they take people out of the pool to put them in class (don't think it's happened yet) they take the most experienced people first, and not whoever interviewed first. Not sure if this is how all pools work, but there you go.

Vectorfly 05-25-2008 07:40 AM

RAH company official said earlier this week that they are still hiring, but into a pool for August and after classes. No change in minimums at the moment.

Javiator 05-25-2008 08:26 AM

I'm on the call-back list for deferred interviews at RAH since the delay after the Frontier separation. Have not heard as of yet, other than from Kim, that we’re on the list.

TBucket 05-25-2008 09:55 AM

TSA is not right now. Even sent our instructors back to the line. Nothing here for a while, most likely...

Still hiring into the Bro. Those in the June CRJ class now show up in the bid awards. A few CA upgrades, a few CA transitions from the Bro, and probably a little over a dozen FO transitions.

KiloAlpha 05-25-2008 10:22 AM

Negative Nancy says, "Perhaps the better question is which regional will furlough / terminate first."

:( I have over 500 people below me at RAH and I'm concerned about the coming 12 months....

Almost certainly losing all 35ish planes for CAL
+ 50 crews displaced out of DEN
+ Any little hiccup, like a reduction or elimination of DAL or UAL flying
= me digging ditches

Roper92 05-25-2008 11:39 AM

I think you'll be alright KA. I'm not drinking the RAH Kool-aid or anything, but you have aggressive management who looks years into the future rather than short term,

Oh yeaahh!

Looks like RAH will loose all or most of AMR flying as American Connection too.

Who is more likely to lose the American Connection flying... CHQ, TSA, or both? Just curious because American Connection is often my ride to work (STL-ORF).

This is news to me about the CAL flying? Why?

I think you'll be alright. I was out there for an interview a month ago (didn't get it :() and they were talking about getting more 175s this year. They will hit bumps in the road here and there, but they have so many contracts I wouldn't be too concerned. The only way to be concerned is I'm guessing CAL will not renew the CRJ-200 contract.

They will be replacing <50 seat aircraft with no net increase in total airframes.

CAL has already told us that they have no plan of renewing the CRJ contract and our CEO has talked several times about the timeline for the withdrawal of those aircraft.

However, there is no place I would rather be in terms of job security. Certainly not TSA, Mesa, AWAC, XJT, AE, or Skywest.. Colgan is probably gonna do well with their Q400's. I know all the SKY cronies are going to jump all over me, but you have ALL your eggs in 2 baskets and a ton of 50 seaters

This is probably a contributing factor for the SKW deal with CAL.

Both will loose flying in addition to Eagle. It has yet to be determined how many from each but AMR says they are evaluating every route on an individual bases.

Silver02ex 05-25-2008 01:55 PM

Pinnacle still cannot fill their new hire or upgrade class. 1000TT and 200 multi unless you took a bridge program. ATP, Jet U etc.

dimondan 05-25-2008 02:31 PM

For anyone that thinks that it's any better down at the instructing level, I can say that it is drying up. The only training really going on right now is foreign students and business men. Oh, and the universities...

Flyboyrw 05-25-2008 02:49 PM

lynx is looking for a few more people (6-10), 750 tt, 100 me, 100 inst.
Looking for people in the June 30th class.

I just got the call from Art Wanzo today, I'm gonna be in the June 16th class. They are definetly looking to hire a lot of people.

spartanpilot 05-25-2008 03:22 PM

or you can try looking in the airline profile section and find the info yourself like any self sufficient pilot.

Is it me, or has there been a really large increase of "why are you posting on the forum" posts. C'mon people! If you don't want to read it, close your browser.

I didn't ask why he is posting in this forum, I was pointing out that this information can be found by clicking on a link. Granted the airline profiles link is a little small, maybe it should be surrounded in big neon letters. My point being is that more and more, there are posts like "how do I check my PM's" or "is everybody still mad at gojets?" It is just either laziness not to search the forum yourself and use the google search tool, or just posts that has just gone past beating the dead horse to pulverizing it into a bloody unidentifiable mess.

To go even further, if the poster was asking about a specific airline info that he couldn't possibly find out for himself, then awesome. He is trying to make an educated decision on where he wants to start his airline career. But where I draw the line is asking something that can be easily found by spending a few minutes just looking around.

Glad that you have made yourself the regulator of who should and should not ask questions. Maybe you should take each person to the 'cliff of shameful questions' and toss them over SPARTANpilot!

If you are irritated by the post - pass it by. There is no rule that says that you have to answer his post or even look at it.

I've used the search function a few times and it isn't the easiest thing to wade into and search through 24 pages of posts to find that one little bit of information that you might be looking for. Some may call it laziness - some might call it a better economical use of one's limited time - some people like to help others - some don't. Choose your poison.

Its not just you. Annoying isnt it?

soon2bfo 05-25-2008 07:03 PM

I heard that SkyWest will be hiring 30 a month starting in June for the rest of the year. I've also heard that it is going to be to fill vacancies in the CRJ CA roster who upgrade to and new FO's into the ERJ145... You heard it here first... maybe. In case you haven't heard SKW is a great place to work. Come on over.

1000 tt + 100 Multi

Depends on where you are, I guess. My schedule's full. A few foreign students and businessmen, but they're the exception.

3 baskets, actually. Midwest has about 21 of the -200's.

All 22 of the new jets that we have on order (since Nov 07) are -700's or -900's. We've got -200's coming up on the 40,000 hr. life limit (I think 405SW is at 38,000), which will likely be retired.

Of course, we could end up with dozens of 145's soon, so ya, we'll likely have "tons" of 50 seaters for some time.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 03:52 AM.
