My LGA turn found a FO tonight. I guess wasting a JRM on 4 hours is worth it? Personally, I was thinking a new contract would get us more money in the long run.

I moved up a net of one this month. That's it. I think some of the young fos are leaving, but not many. Captains? Not sure why a captain would leave except for those who still have recall rights. I know of one who could leave for American and have quite a chunk of seniority, but he hasn't left yet. If this rumored TA is a stinker, I might think about putting my app in the water and see what bites.

Can anyone give me an example of what a monthly schedule is like in ACY? I've read it goes fairly junior.

This would be my first 121 job. I've been doing 135 cargo, corporate, and charter for the last 7 years.

Also, I have a ton of turbine multi time, but have been flying a pc12 lately, are they strict on the 50 multi in the last year?

I'd go get a Jet job and get competitive. PC12 isn't ever going to get you a call by anyone other than a regional. Good luck... IMHO

I'm typed PIC sd3, ce-500, and ce-650. 4300tt. 700 turbojet over 12.5k lbs/half pic, 1300 multi-turboprop also over 12.5k lbs. I've only been flying the pc12 for the last year, will that hurt me?

I just submitted an app, guess ill find out.

I saw a unicorn once on a beach in LIM. It flew down from the mountains and had shimmering golden wings. She whispered in my ear and told me the future.

Definitely apply! You may not have the strongest flying resume out there, but you won't know if you don't apply.

Good luck!

Thanks guys. Now I wait!

If anyone has input on the ACY base, I'd appreciate that too. (Schedule, legs/day, typical trips) I've found that info for some of the other bases, but not sure if ACY was the same.
