Just explain your situation and they'll take good care of you.
Make sure you send your stuff in asap because there are lot of people
trying to get in and nobody is leaving. It's an awesome place to work and a lot of people are planning on being here for the long haul. Have fun!!!

Cheers!

Nailed it!

Thanks!

They are opening up the Pacific Northwest. Unless you are already have a BE300 type you will likely be hired as an F.O. but will probably upgrade within 6 months or so.

How hard is it to transfer from one base to another?

Line Holder

You need to send a request to your fleet manager and he'll make the call.

Thanks. I currently live in Dallas. Once I got hired and on the line, I would want to move to Seattle. Maybe I can just tell them up front and they will give me a timeline to move? I have to sell my house and get rid of a bunch of junk we've accumulated over the years.

Thanks again.

It helps to have someone inside who can recommend you. GAMA was my second choice after my current gig.
