Steep learning curve though.
I kept wondering "what speed is it going to pick next?". Blue Speed, Double Amber Dash + 10 Speed? Mini French Fu(K speed, Orange Speed (Magenta for you Alternative Speed types)? or Gol dang it why is it Going Around Speed! Push a button! Push a button!
Like most airplanes it seems once you get the hang of it - it's all about judgement.
The RJ guys have obviously demonstrated their ability to fly the aircraft and have 121 experience. Hard to compete with that.
Unless you don't take into account entitlement and youth.
I'd rather sit next to a "analog" guy that still thinks Goldie Hawn was hot on Laugh-In and actually helps me check the logbook for screw ups.
What I don't get is the financials. Why hire a guy that will be here until we're bought, merged, grown, or stolen?
Want to keep pilot labor cost down?
DUH
The correct financial decision is to hire only over 60's that have experience.
No bent metal. Minimal FAA oversight. Minimal labor cost over the five year plan.

Hi guys-
I applied and was wondering how long the wait is to get word?One week for a yes or no thanks? 1 month etc..any averages ?
btw:
10k+ TT
7k+ FBW heavy bus
1200 121 PIC
No internal rec really a big issue?Been flying overseas for along time now so its hard to get that.Want to come home.
Am I SOL or should I keep hoping and sacrificing goats?

You know if your CV stood out with those times I would say you have a better shot than most those without a internal rec for a call. But you will not get a "no thanks" or "congrats" email from the company unless you are interviewed.

Yep, it's Frontier service begins 11/15. Looks like the Airbus not Republic.
