chautauqua info

[learjet99_2001]

Got a call from chautauqua today for an interview oct. 17 looking for info on bases out of training, first year pay, QOL, and upgrade time, and any other good info. I do beleive they are hiring people into the 170 with 1500/300 seeing if this is true as well. My times are 1800/510. thanks

do a search for QOL...theres a bunch of stuff on this already...as far as pay goes go to airlinepilotcentral.info.....theyre hiring into all three airframes right now (CRJ, 145, 170) regardless of time. As long as you have the 1500 and 300 theyll put you where they need you....There are tons of bases for Chq and only three or four for Shuttle and Republic....good luck

I also have an interview coming up at RAH. I'm probably getting a head of things, but can anyone tell me what the training is like as far as what the company pays for etc?

Paid hotel room and $250 a week for the first month, then your 75 hours/month after that.

1500/300 is firm (for now) for E145, CRJ200 and E170/175. You interview for all 3 certs. You don't get a choice where you go. I would guess most likely CHQ CRJ (IAH and SDF bases) or Republic 170/175 (IND, DCA and PIT bases). Initial training done at Flight Safety in STL. Paid Hotel and when I went through it was only $125/week for first thirty days and then guarantee after that. QOL is comparable to every other regional (Mesa excluded). Upgrade times currently 24-30mos. but that is very fluid and will probably change +- soon.

5ontheglide might be right, might only be 125/week. Don't really recall.

 

[UnstableAviator]

If you get the CRJ class right now, you'll be one of the lucky ones who will enjoy FO seniority until the time you upgrade. Your QOL will be substantially better than mine right away, even though I've been here for over 1.5 years. Good luck.

Enjoy having your base close every 6 months.

 

[snap145]

i went through in Feb. and im 99.9% sure its still 125/week.

Hey thanks for the help guys. Maybe I'll see you there?

I've looked into them also. Why do you say "probably change soon?"
Also, is there not a base in STL or near STL with CHQ?

 

[BoilerUP]

STL is a 140 base.

 

[Skeptic]

Any chances of getting ORD on the 170 with previous 121?

 

[snap145]

i think ORD is fairly senior for FO's at S5 but i could be wrong as im at the other end of the operation....the last few new hire classes have been all IND and CMH , i can tell you that much

 

[wmudriver]

FOs for CHQ seem to have been going everywhere lately, except for LGA, MCO.

My advice is to get in and get a seniority number. Thats what is going to matter most in the long run. Don't worry too much about what a/c or what company you get put in. They put you where they need you.

FWIW, In my CHQ class, 14/16 had 121 airline experience.

 

[subin30]

from our class (8/8/06) no one was awarded ORD for Shuttle

STL is an american base, the worst flight bennies, but the best flying in the 145 system (the only one that is comutable.) It is becoming a senior FO base, but with the movement going on you should be able to get it soon if not right away. Just expect to be on RSV for longer than other bases.

I got a call from RAH on the 21st also. My interview is schedule for the 25th of October. Can anyone tell me what to expect in the interview, and usually how long does it take. Thank you in advance for the responses.

Check out the gouge on aviationinterviews, pretty much spot on. more hr than technical, 25 question written. may or may not have the sim ride depending on you written score and experience.

 

[Skeptic]

How long is training? Where are the sims for the 145 and 170? Any down time during training? Do you get you ID on day one or do you have to wait?
