Airline Pilot Central Forums

There are three days of sim, then you'll observe some Aspen flights, then some OE with a LCA. Once you are signed off, you'll be able to bid. Bidding is done with hard lines. You get an email with a PDF and you email the lines you want in order of preference. You fly with the same captain for the whole month if you are a line holder (with the exception of swaps/drops/trades/etc).

Thanks for the response. I was told it would only be "for a few months", how accurate do you think that statement is? could i transfer out to avoid it?

Unless I'm completely oblivious go ahead and transfer out. With any luck they'll let me in and I can just drive to work. :p

Yes. Transfer as soon as possible. If they train you all the way through line check, even if you transfer out and back in, you'll be reflowed to do aspen stuff. Try to not get trained at all if you wanna avoid it.

That being said, I love aspen. But on the jr side, it can literally mean the difference of reserve with 12 days off while your peers are in pbs making 95 hours with 14+ off. Huge pay and qol cut.

No. Denver only. Sapa was pushing to open it to slc and lax, but for right now it's den only.

Would someone mind taking a few moments and explaining the whole Aspen deal. The company has literally not said anything about it and I just catch snippets of what is involved flying there on the forums.

What it entails, pros, cons, etc.

Thank you very much

ok cool, i'll try and bid for COS and PHX if i can. My training starts in middle october so hopefully i can transfer out in november before I finish. Any recommendations on where to avoid going to aspen?
