I got an email from them also, I chose the 16th since flights from CT on 2 days notice are north of 900 bucks... I sent my stuff into Silver also, twice, to the AOL address and have heard nothing. I'm in the same situation as Wyan (except not married), have a house and really can't up and move. I kinda doubt it will be commutable so I'll have to see what happens. I personally would love fly the 1900 for them for a few years, mountain flying, Colorado winters, although I'm already used to the winters flying and instructing in New England for the last few years. Just hoping I can afford to take the job if offered!

They interviewed a bunch of FO applicants back in Dec and Jan and many haven't eard anything yet. Not even a rejection letter/e-mail. We are just told to "hang tight" as they still do not know when the next FO class will be... They "realized" they need Captains, so the Feb and March classes are CA classes.

Well pay is less than $17,000/yr pre-tax so knowing that you might want to look at a budget before you get to Denver. My wife is bringing in enough money for us to pay the bills so I know we can live on what little extra I'd make there. Like I said it is NOT ideal but it's flying and I am quickly reaching a point where I HAVE to get back into a twin or look at getting out of the field. I can't afford to rent multies to keep "current" like some of the carriers would like.

And yea Brian, I'm trying to work out the budget issues also. I fortunately have a military retirement to help out, but it will barely cover my morgage and car payments, hoping the pay will cover the expenses while at work, again if I get an offer (don't want to make any assumptions!
). I have a few friends who loved flying the 1900, and would like to experience it myself.
