The new Chief Pilot at Regions is a female. Her name is Jen Niedergeses. And has be in that position little over a month. They have a training class on Feb 26.

I started to interview back in June 2006 through Oct. 06.
Where I went to (Mesa, Eagle, XJT, TSA, Pinnicle, Commutair, and then JAN 2007 Did ASA, Comair and Cape Air. Where those 9 all resulted in a Thanks but no thanks like to see you back in 3 or 6 months. I have just now started to re-apply for round 2. That means I have been too 9 interviews with no offers! Sad to say Regions would be 10. I want hours get in and get out. I have an almost done deal at a corporate compay G450 and higher once I get 2000TT and 250 MEL. I personally am in the CASS system (limited to United and Star Allience Network).
If Reigions does not work for me I'll move to DC from Los Angeles, CA for a very nice private 135 out fit and fly the barons and here and their in KA100 until I get my time up to what I posted above:). Something happened to me with getting the CFI (Which I feel is coming back to haunt me now) Multiple failed check-rides.
I am waiting for an invite from Republic Holdings, Skywest, AWAC, Horizon.

Dont waste your money going to the interview. Regions is down to a few airplanes, chances are you're not going to do a whole lot of flying. I would go to the 135 out fit where you can easily build your time much quicker, and probably get paid better.
There is a lot of good advice in this thread.....STAY AWAY FROM REGIONS!!!!
In my opinion the place is going to implode in the next 3 months. Anybody with a little common sense would leave that place NOW...........
Besides in the last 2 years no captain except maybe 1 (CAL) has gone anywhere worth while.
Good people sh*tty management. Anybody left there that thinks the place is going to turn around (taildragger) is a fool.....dont be the next.

Way2Broke, you're thinking of a different person. I know who you are talking about, but that's not Jen.

Must have the two women that were in the training department mixed up. If it is the other woman she was very knowledgeable and has a good personality. She told us to "get our time and get out." But then again so did everyone in the training department, the management, and even the guys that did the interview. I wonder why she is not listening to her own advise here?

Congratufrackinglations To Taildraggerpilot!!!:):):)

Tram-I know when way2broke left. See, for all of their history crapex had not enforced the training contract. In the year before w2b and others left somewhere between 90 and 120 FO's had left without paying a dime with less than one year in.

The issue is that they had never enforced it. They mistakenly thought that if they did it would solve the turnover problem. That was their mistake...if the place equates to the basement of an outhouse on more or less equal terms there is a percentage of people that posess enough self respect to pay to leave! There is another percentage that realizes that it isn't what they signed up of and dare them to come and get their money.


My class didn't sign-course they wanted ten and only got four, on the other hand we all put more than our share of time in cause at first there was hope. A couple of years ago there was one class that was out on the line flying already. They had contracts sent out to them and were told that if they didn't sign they would be removed from flight status-that is called being put under duress...even though the contract said something about not being under duress near the signature block. In fact, the "sign or go home" puts people under duress since they have already quit a job to go there. I know a few things that you don't about this whole crapex crookedness. While I understand meeting your obligations as a point of honor the company you work for does not- it has proven time and again that they will not deal with their employees on that same high level of honor.

Of course by now you know that...

How do you tell a real airline from an outfit? A real airline has all its airplanes painted the same way...Regions is an outfit. Some of the best people in the world to fly with, the crews, but they work for an outfit!

Who the hell is "Regions" and why have I never seen them on any lists before. There is nothing on them at airlinepilotcentral or pilotjobs. WTF?!

Callsign "Corpex", Formerly Corporate Airlines, Formerly Corporate Express (not to be confused with a freight company or an office supply store of the same name).

They fly jetstream 32's out of STL. I won't mention the saabs cause they are going away from all indications. They depend on Essential Air Service money to fly to places you probably have never heard of up and down the Mississippi.

I know that someone (not me) once posted something on some board that is about worst airlines to work for...they can't afford to advertise for pilots most of the time. They haven't been able to afford to give the crews a raise since mid 2002.

I hope that this answers your question. For the most part the crews are the best of the best to work with. The organization as a whole is the exact opposite.

Will be staying in the Marriott Hotel @ BNA and having the interview with her and DO over breakfast at my hotel. No sim ride due to shortness of time to training class.

Did anyone else catch this? Can that even be considered a interview?

Yeah...wonder if the interview is just before class starts. I know of one guy that was hired years ago-they really needed him in class so they bought him clothes to wear in class cause he had just come for the day-

bet that won't happen now...
 
What's the rush? What are they trying to hide from the guy? Surely they have enough money to get a cab for the guy so he could at least go to HQ and view the facilities. It would probably extend things by a whole hour and a half.

If I may reference an old chestnut, normally I'd take the butchers word for it, but in this case, you'll definitely want to get your head up that cow's backside and take a look around.

Cow referring to the airline in general and no one in particular

It's not a matter of whether or not they enforced it..

If you sign your name on the line that says "If I leave, before a year is up, I will pay X amount of money back.." and then you leave before that year is up.. Your bitching should be non-existent..

Sorta like throwing a fit about getting a ticket for speeding.. How many people speed on a daily basis without getting nabbed? A bunch.. Every now and then, someone gets nailed..
