Class will end before thanksgiving and first students will go to sim after thanksgiving. We have family too. It actually works out pretty good.

whats the expected upgrade time for someone with 2500TT and 1000 hours of 135 commuter PIC time but has no turbine time?

Probably a couple yrs and 1000 hrs 121 time.

Also depends on equipment. By commuter do you mean something like a metroliner? I.E. Turbine time?

I’ll be taking my CFI check on Sunday. Do you accept Pilot’s at R-ATP mins (1000TT). I’ve got a friend who flys for Elite and he seems really happy there.

Is the ATP written required?

Yes ATP writtens are required. CTP and writtens are on you. As for R-ATP, you would need to talk with the boss.

When is the next class scheduled? How long is training?
I'm current in CRJ7 with over 1K part 121 and 5.5K total.
Any chances for direct captain hire?
How many sims in training?
Do you guys fly CRJ2 and CRJ7 simultaneously or crews are bounded to the fleet?
Thanks

Your chances of getting hired with a Captain offer letter are very good. Typically, someone with your experience will be trained from day one as a Captain, checked out as both FO and Captain in ground, sim, and IOE. You will fly the line as an FO and paid as an FO until the operation/ mgmt. decide they need you to fill the seat. The amount of time as an FO varies from 1 month to 1 year. As of lately, I have seen the trend being about 4 months.

200/700 flying is not seniority based. You will fly both a/c for any given flights that you are on. At this time I believe we are split half and half on the number of 200/700's. Currently 5 700's and waiting on one in MX. Couple 200's offline for MX. Don't know specific numbers.

Not sure when the next class is but send in your resume so when it does, and it will, open up, your in the stack. Not a lot of slots typically and they tend to fill up rather quickly. Good luck.

It's informative. Thank you.
