jsut started in BOS, I ve lloked into them,they are hiring low TT pilots and street Captains as well. Upgrade is around a year, maybe less if oyu ve go thte time. Pay is decent for an all turbo prop airline.

Their mins are currently 450/50. I think doing some of that north / northwest flying would be nice. They only fly the 1900 though. Those things are cramped.

Ya, the 1900 doesn't bother me at all, I was hoping for a CVG base where they plan to expand, as that is where I live now.

SWA1018, I live in South Boston, "Southie" and fly for a 135 Charter company, I fly the King AIr 100 and have for about a year. I also fly the 402 on occasion, I looked into Big SKy, short upgrades, ok pay, and base in BOS, but I am looking at Air Wisconsin now, I had a prescreening w/ Eagle at their job fair and they told me they want 800TT. I only got just under 500TT. I do have 110ME tho and 50 of it is ME turbine, so we will see. If AWAC doesnt workout then Im gonna stay where im at, get the 800TT and go to Eagle.
