That’s what I thought too. 2 years as a ground instructor then after that you go through the entire new hire training again with the CBA training pay and start on the line at the bottom of the seniority list and year 1 FO pay.

You cannot just skip the longevity table of the CBA unless there is a side letter in our contract that I’m not aware of. That’s like saying a 10yr FA hired as a pilot would be a 10yr FO for pay.

The only thing they keep is their employee number on the badge which really is meaningless.

Might be a benefit for non-rev travel seniority.

Thanks, I stand corrected.

For what it’s worth, here is some reading on the subject from around here:

Hey, sorry to resurrect an old thread, but: does anyone know if they're serious about only hiring University 141 instructors for this program? I'm in the process of getting my CFI right now at the non-university 141 where I've gone from instrument to CMEL since July, and I'm very interested in this program, but if I'm not eligible, best to know now.

Anybody know what the schedules are like?

The position is for someone like yourself who wants to put in the time as a ground instructor (not sim). I believe you must have your ATP hour requirements or close to it. You have to commit to two years as a ground instructor and then you get assigned a class date as a new hire FO. I believe the Schedule 4-5 days a week of teaching.

I did initial in July and my instructor had 750 hours. He had been there 8 months already. He was flying a Ce150 building time on the weekends.

Hey, thanks for the schedule info! Much appreciated.

I'm still curious to know if they're serious about only hiring UNIVERSITY 141 instructors, though. Does anyone know if instructors from independent 141 schools have been accepted there? Thanks so much!
