Thanks for the great info Corvus Chief! I'm curious what the typical schedule looks like? I know you have home-every-night schedules but wondering if it would be possible to commute from the peninsula? So more curious about how many days in a row?

Thanks!

Just wondering...

Does Frontier... err Era... err Ravn... err Corvus still have the SD3s?

Corvus Chief -
is it true you have to fly yourself to Anchorage for the interview and then again to Anchorage for training if selected??
I'd love to fly for you but I can't afford to travel willy-nilly to Anchorage.

Dash 8 pilots are getting about 12 days off a month. The days off are sprinkled over the month in accordance with preferential bidding system.

If you would like more info on the schedule, let's sit down and look it over together. Submit your resume to [email protected] and let us know you were on the APC forums. I'd love to talk to you on the phone so we can get past the chat room post/respond barrier.

Fly, Safe.

Right now, if you are out of town we can complete both the qualification interview and the formal interview over the phone. We offer tickets from anywhere in the US to Anchorage for ground school so you are not out of pocket. Housing and Transportation is still in your hands; we don't want to over manage it for you. The $3000 reimbursement offer can be used for any of these expenses that you incurred to make the move: eg hotel for groundschool, room rent for ground school, transportation to ground school, etc.

The only kicker is we will flight test you the day before ground school if you are not currently operating in the commercial IFR environment. If you can't pass an IFR flight test you'll be on your own. The test is nothing more than basic IFR with a non-precision approach. Anyone who is IFR current does fine.

If you are interested, please submit a resume to [email protected] so we can get you in the process. Make sure you indicate you saw us on the APC forum and would like more information.

We look forward in hearing from you.

Fly, Safe.

Interesting.
Thanks for the info; I wasn't even aware of a $3000 reimbursement - very cool! I understand housing is up to me and that'd be no problem; I'm sure I could pass the IFR test.. at least I'd like to think so ha ha.

When are the next rounds of interviews and classmates coming up?

Ok great, look forward to talking with you, thank you!

Sounds about right; one thing to keep in mind is that we have a joint seniority list with Hageland on our 135 side and those pilots have flow through rights over new hires.

If a pilot comes over from Hageland do you have to start at the first year on the pay scale?

It's all spelled out in detail in the inter-certificate transfer policy. If you are flying for H6, just grab that.

If you are not in the company now and can't grab that document, the short answer is no. However there are caveats that management may or may not choose to use which would influence your final tier placement.
