What about a guy who is in the, say, 1000/50 ballpark? Will the extra 400 or so total make up for the missing 50 multi?

Edit: That guy is me, and I'll likely have around 1100/75 when I'm ready to apply.

Apply now if you want a job. I've got a friend with your exact times and he just got hired by Mesa, they may not be the best one out there but he also got a call from ASA so it never hurts to apply.

Thanks, good to know. I probably won't be applying until early may because if I left now I'd leave my flight school in a bit of a bind. And it probably won't be to Mesa or ASA (reasons of which I won't get into), but it's good to know that there are guys with similar times getting interviews.

You could also try Comair, you are well within the hour range of just about all of the new hires I've spoken to.

If you're going to Comair, you could still apply now just to get the ball rolling. When you get hired, they let you choose your class date. Classes are starting every week, so just pick a later class date that will not screw over your current flight school.

Are they still doing all the sims in CVG? I had heard rumors (well, from a friend who's on IOE right now) that they were shipping guys out because there wasn't enough time open for all the new hires.

All the new hires are doing the sims at CVG. They're shipping the upgrades up to Montreal to do the upgrade training at the Bombardier facility. Plan on staying here at CVG for your initial training.

Gotcha. So you really think they'd be cool with me wanting to wait for a class date? The soonest I could take one would be like May 14th.

I'd get your stuff in now. They're pretty quick about calling you right away after applying and then plan on interviewing about 2 weeks later. When it's all said and done, the soonest you would be able to start would be within a month of applying, so right now that would be almost the beginning of May anyways. They're very understanding of people that have obligations and might need to wait a couple of weeks for a class date so you should be fine. Right now they are hiring 60 people a month for the rest of the year with a 15 person class beginning every week.

Thanks man, I appreciate the input. I'll apply soon. Are you in training there or are you done?

I'm going into my 3rd week of training. I should be starting my IOE by beginning of May.

Sweet. How was were the sims during the first week? I guess you guys learned flows and stuff? My friend says that they weren't anything to sweat but I'd love to get a second opinion.

-Goose
 
The sims were simple. The instructor walked us through everything. It was mostly a chance to get our feet wet and see what the airplane is like. We didn't do a whole lot of flows, but we did learn how to use the autopilot and the FMS as well as do some approaches and learn how to land the plane in the sim.
 
Have fun at Comair the taining is good, i hope the place gets back on its feet soon.
 
Great Lakes still hiring with wet-ink commercial multi, IF you have a recommendation...

Had a couple friends get on at Air Whiskey with around 550 TT, but a ton of turbine multi, FWIW.

Air Midwest is robbing my alma mater of all the flight instructors that fax their resume in, no need for a connection or a live interview.
 
If you get into these regionals at such low time how are you supposed to upgrade if you dont have much PIC time? just curious....
