My friend is in that class. He is 28ish. Coming from Air Wisky.

Best option to have a better QOL right now out of MIA.

Apply NOW!!!! keep updating ur app every week.

Lateral movement??? Starting in First Year payment again?? Be at the bottom of the seniority list again?? Not good!

Just saying moving should be vertical, not lateral.

Thanks PilotJ3 for your input.
One more question: I have had a couple of speeding tickets in the past and they are not in my driving record (I took the traffic classes etc...so they are not on my record). The question is do I have do disclose them on the App?
Also, is the ATP written required to apply (I am working on it now!)

ABSOLUTELY. Just because they arent on your state driving record doesnt mean they wont show up on the National Drivers Registry request. They arent as concerned with the tickets themselves as long as they dont show a pattern of bad decision making. They are more concerned with honesty and full disclosure on your part.

Flywife - for your husband to get MIA, right now the ERJ is probably the best bet from what I have seen as far as newer guys getting base transfers. Its not too hard to transfer bases, but it may take him a few months for MIA. If nothing else have him take Dallas and put in a base transfer request at the first opportunity. Many new guys are getting their transfers completed before finishing training.

Respectfully disagree...I would go EMJ for sure.

First of all, uless he plans on staying on the ATR (most want to transfer after the 1 year seat lock due to the significant pay differences), he would be going through two long term training cycles in Dallas of approximately 4 months total out of 14 months. Assuming he gets awared the EMJ right away.

Second, I heard that the commute from Orlando to Miami is rather difficult. I know a lot of captains that commute to Chicago out of Orlando instead of Miami because of the larger planes and many more options.
-just what i've heard on the line

Third, I think the schedules and trip trading option once you are able to hold a line are much better on the EMJ. Although, I will admit, you probably will hold a line much sooner on the ATR.

Finally, you have the option of transferring to any base except SJU if you were to decide to move at a later date.

Just my thoughts...

Stryker, not sure simple traffic tickets will show up on the NDR, plus it's been more than 5, 6 years. I want to disclose them but the issue is how to track them down to find the exact dates? One was in FL and the other in TX where I live now.

Well you don't know his reasons behind it so don't judge. Just because something may sound bad to you might not apply to others.

Driving records depend on the State..... What is your State ??

There is a thread specially for Traffic Tickets & Eagle.

If it is not on the driving record provided by your state, it is not reflected anywhere. If U take driving school, the LAW of your state removes that item from your record & insurance companies or employers can't see it.

Best is get a DMV printout in all states you have had a drivers License from.

Written not required.

I would disclosed them even if they are not in your driving record. Good way to demonstrate your honesty.

Have him choose EMJ and its very possible he might get MIA in class, if not he will get it very soon after! IMO if he picks ATR he might be retraining very soon

There is two ways to apply If below 1000/100 you will have to do a jet transition course at atp and sign a two year contract. If over 1000/100 its just the normal way, no contract.

The NDR does not show speeding tickets. It shows only server offenses. dwi careless reckless kinda stuff.
That said, the question is have you EVER had tickets. If you don't answer, that's a lie. I had 20+ years of driving history. I had many tickets over the years. none where on my record anymore. However I did report to the best of my memory what tickets I did have(I honestly could not remember details of them all, when I was 16-17 I had a few lol). I was never asked a single question about them!
I could have said 0 and they PROBABLY would have not found out.
