That's because you don't have boobs!

15???? So basically just with what she finish her Comm Multi. :eek:

Hardly but I agree... :( good for her bad for us...

While it is certainly not impossible that AWAC would hire someone with that few multi-engine hours, it would seem unlikely. Nevertheless, probably not unprecedented.

That said, they have a history of hiring lots of talented pilots. In more ways than one.
:D

Yep, the only mutli she has is from her multi engine training. Actually, I was told they have the highest percentage of female pilots of all airlines. I wouldn't doubt if its due to preferential hiring. Her boyfriend just completed his ATP and has over 300 multi and can't get a phone call so I really don't know what else they would be looking for.

Hello,
I did some searching and couldn't find anything on currency requirements.
Does Air Wisconsin require a certain amount of time within the last 60, 90, 120 days?
I have about 3700tt and 800 multi, however I haven't flown much in the past year due to an attempted career change.
My previous job was flight instructing, Part 135 day VFR, and co-piloting in King Air's.
I'm willing to do what it takes to become curent again.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ken

There was something ridiculous, like a 75% failure rate in the last few new-hire classes because the pilots were over qualified (high time) and didn't put a whole lot of effort into training, so they mostly washed out.

They want you to complete and finish training so they can get you out flying the line and abused as a reserve :p

By being away from flying and currently "rusty" do you think you can keep up with a drink-from-the-firehose training program, and be instrument proficient enough to sit in the sim for four hours a day? They spend the time to teach you how to fly the CRJ, but they don't have time to teach you how to fly a plane again.


(Personally, I think they would be better off hiring CFI's and 135's instead of furloughed mainline drivers. The new kids actually want to be there and are hungry to learn the material.)

I'm willing to put the time in to get back up to speed.
What I discovered when I left flying is that I do miss it. As much as I hated my job and was burnt out you don't realize what you had until your not doing it anymore. Sounds stupid, but in my case true.
I'm thinking about going and getting some sim time in a decent FTD and I hate to say it, but ATP has a CRJ course which looks pretty good except for the price. I think doing that would be more beneficial than going out in a 172 and shooting approaches. At least I would get used to flying off of glass.

Thanks

Doing the ATP CRJ course doesnt promise you a job or an interview. But it does promise more debt or a lighter checkbook.
You'd be better off finding a Frasca or a "True Vision" sim and shoot approaches in a multi configuration. Fly just enough to keep current (3 touch-n-go's) and so forth. The way things are going right now, it doesnt make much sense to spend thousands on additional training or transition course without a job in hand.

Yeah, I wasn't counting on that course really getting me anything except some CRJ experience (and more debt).
When an airline like AWAC looks at a resume, what do they like to see?
Would they hire or interview someone in my situation?
Would getting some FTD time help my situation?

Thanks

The high washout rate was not only due to folks thinking that flying the CRJ would be easy (though there was that too) but basic stuff. Like one guy who supposedly didn't declare a criminal past and another who had some major deal breaker (though I can't remember what I was told it was).

As for the question about currency, I don't know the answer. I would apply and hope for a call. I talked this morning with one of the newhires and he was previously with Midwest and is pretty experienced. But hadn't flown much or at all since being furloughed from Midwest.

Send in your stuff and be honest if they call you. Just like anywhere else.
