Maybe it's your KS moniker with your "obscene" band formations.....

I'm not burned up about it. I'm not really looking to move to whatever base happens to be junior at the current time. Maybe down the road, but not right now, just wanted to see what the deal was. I was just surprised since I'm already DC-9 typed.

Disco,
You will be happy to hear that a BA 777 had a contained engine fire that led to an evacuation in LAS yesterday.

Difference will be is it yet to be seen wether the BA crew will be fired for it, as it is a bit of bad press with the pictures and all.

Best of luck, fly safe.

Like comparing a mild head cold to the projectile vomiting, spinning head scene in the Exorcist.

I just applied with 1550 TT and a year at the regionals. No word. How junior is the Mesa base?

Not sure about the Mesa base, as I'm going off our last seniority list. These questions are difficult because it all depends on the company's needs.

At 1,500 TT, I would suggest going to the job fairs and speaking with one of the CPs directly. They can guide you better than I.

If you can upgrade at your current airline and get 1000 PIC that would be better for your overall career

You realistically need double your current hours to be competitive at Allegiant I may be mistaken but I think the low end has been 2500 Total time hired and average is closer to 4000 to 5000 with some PIC

How have you been at the regionals for a year and only have 1,500 TT. W-T-F over? That's barely enough time to fly a decent pattern in a 172, lol

He probably got a restricted ATP with 1000 TT by graduating from one of those fancy schools and then flew 550 in a year at a regional.

If you don't get the call, reapply periodically. We're not there yet but it probably won't be long before 1500 hour pilots become our candidate pool. We are getting less resumes and many of the ones we get are not what the company is hoping for. The saying is that there will never be a pilot shortage for the legacies. Probably true, but the rest will suffer. We are seeing it already at the regionals. Competition is getting stiff and will only get worse.
