Interesting Move, guess this is ok but it is ashame they don't take the time to really look at the applicants that have tried to get aboard, they have missed a few good ones....

ACA was doing the same thing, but required 2 years in the SOC, not 3.

Relocate dispatch to somewhere commuteable and I am sure you could get a few bodies...

Props - I know of one. She already lives in SGU (anyone else would be crazy). SkyWest good - SGU bad.

 

[gooseman13]

How about just giving me the $9000 as a signing bonus?

 

[propsarebest]

If they are willing to throw 9K at someone, are they willing to offer a raise to current employees??? Ohh wait, I already know the answer...

Corporate Bull$hit. They'll quite happily put 100k in someone else's pocket but they won't put 1/2 or 1/3rd of that in their employees' pockets

Relocate dispatch to somewhere commuteable and I am sure you could get a few bodies...

Mesa is offering the same thing. You have to do 6 months in Crew Tracking then you are sent to school in TUS

 

[goahead]

Nevermind.....

 

[onewithwings]

We have about 12 people in the system who have a DX license and no hope of ever getting a job in Flight Control. :bawling:

 

[Flyguy801]

OO needs to move OCC (DX, MX Control, Crew Sked/Tracking) out of SGU and to SLC...

 

[homerjdispatch]

SLC no better than SGU!!! I vote for COS!
