I hope the union shuts this down. Guaranteeing them a job essentially puts them on our seniority list. They tried to do this with UND CFI's a few years back at XJ. If memory serves me right they shot this down pretty quick.

They have the same agreement with Western Michigan University. The requirements are bachelors degree, commercial multi, got all ratings at the university, have a 3.0 in aviation classes and have no more than 2 failed checkrides. If they meet those requirements, they bypass the interview and get a class date if their classes available.

Yikes Keith...are WMU cfi's eligible? That would be the "better" scenario.

I've seen too many of those rats scrape through the program...

Negative wmu cfis aren't grandfathered in. you have to have graduated with in 24 months to be eligable. Most cfis here aren't eligable.

I heard from someone in charge of hiring at Colgan/Mesaba that by September they predict they will be hiring people with 250 hours again because they are having trouble finding people with 1000 hours.

I heard that Colgan cant hire anyone with less then 1000 and 100 until the name changes for insurance reasons... but im sure when the name changes they will. Same person says Colgan cant even come close to getting the numbers they need.

Dont know if any of its true... but sounded reasonable.

I don't get this is at all. Why should a CFI from WMU who doesn't meet the grace period, but graduated with all the necessary credentials, have to interview with a chance of getting declined?
