Later on in section B there is a box for part 91 hours total. Just for clarification how others understood it.

I'm not sure how I missed it, but I didn't even see that green box on the right to add aircraft, so thanks for asking about it. My 2018 application was listed as active all year with no aircraft information in there... bummer.


I just added my aircraft breakdown to my 2019 application. Since the only drop downs were for Jet/Turboprop I left all my piston time out of the breakdown and just included it in the section below.

I didn’t know where to ask, so I apologize if it’s in the wrong place or if this question has already been answered.

What bases are new hires getting out of training, how soon can a new hire hold MIA, and what equipment flies out of MIA? I only saw 767s our there, but I wasn’t sure if there other equipment at that base.

Thanks in advance!

MIA is only 75/76. Hard to answer the question of when a new hire could get there if he wasn't assigned it initially.

We tend to have two bids a year, maybe there's a spot in Miami, maybe there's not. I'm sure someone could get you some history but as they say, past results do not indicate future performance.

Just based on my observation in the last 2.5 years here ... MIA is very senior at the top. However, the bottom 1/4 or so seems to be a revolving door, so, if you get 75/6 in initial - it’s not unrealistic to expect MIA either immediately, or within the first 12 months. You’ll be doing S/Central America midnight turns or night domestic sort lines out of the same 4-6 airports... and that’s about it.

Chilling at home on reserve? Or the South American booty tours? Get in line... it’ll be a decade+ minimum..

Good Info !

There are central and south Florida residents who could easily hold MIA, but commute to SDF and ANC for a better schedule and quality of life.

Might as well bid for 747 or MD11 before hanging your hat on the 76 and being home based.

One last question. What are upgrade times like?

Good info, guys! Thanks!

Which equates to a 6 year upgrade if you consider after 2007 the next new hire class wasn’t until 2014.
