CJO was 7/2 for a 11/22 class but was called a couple weeks later and offered (I think) an 8/23 class. May be off on the exact date. Had to pass. ..
From what I heard, drop an email to your HR person every once in awhile and remind them you have an unrestricted ATP and your ready to go. Best

 

I it is absolutely true that the company is having a difficult time getting trips covered. It might depend upon where you are based. Crew support has told me that they would gladly pay %200 if they were authorized to do so, but unfortunately they are limited to %150. YOU CAN play let's make a deal with them. And if they are desperate get pay protected on another trip that they remove and then %150 on the trip you cover for them, so that is actually %250. Or request that they add a bunch of deadheads to your schedule that you don't actually fly. I have done both.
Staffing on the CRJ is critically low. OO is hiring 160/mo. to stop the bleeding but it takes time to get everyone out on the line. The Big Three have only just started to spool up their hiring vacuums. Once they really get going OO will loose far more pilots than they can hire. Max credit, Min rest, min days off will be the norm unless something unforeseen happens.

 

Yes yes and yes!

I was initially assigned a 2/2022 class and was able to move mine to 10/2021 just by checking in weekly with my assigned recruiter!

 

Wow that's awesome congrats but quick question. Was that on the same type as your original class?
Oh and also did you have your ctp course done already?

Thanks

 

How many weeks did you check in until they finally offered an earlier date?

 

Yeah, stayed in the CRJ. No CTP done!

 

Hello all,

New to the forum. Just wanted to see if anyone had some advice. Currently have a start date at Skywest second week of October. Also, received a job offer flying Hawker 800s for a reputable charter company. This will be my first jet job, and am torn between the two. I’m not sure what style of flying I like more and that’s why this decision is so tough. Does anyone have any experience going from regional to charter or vice versa if they don’t like the style of flying they are doing? If I don’t like charter, would I be starting where I am now going to a regional or does that experience help in upgrading sooner if I do go back to a regional? Any advice is appreciated.

 

Regional to charter is easy…
Charter to regional is a little more difficult just bc of the time / hoops involved.

I’d start at Skywest first, seniority is everything.

 

Which pays more?
which has the best career implications?
Which has the better qol?
Are you conflicted because you want to do (experience) one but the answer to the three questions is the other?

(Rhetorical questions to be answered introspectively. )
