Hey guy's what is new at Mountain Air Cargo?
Anyone interview with them lately?
And by the way I have read all of the pass threads on them, just looking for anything new on them!
I know they do a sim check, but does anyone know what the interview is like?
Thanks

I was called the other day for an interview. Here is what I was told: looking to fill 8 or 9 FO slots on the ATR. Next class is the end of May/begining of June so they are looking to fill these positions quickly. Bases are IND & GSO. Was also told the interview would consist of a sim eval, a brief meeting with the cheif pilot, and another interview with a manager. The whole process is about 2 hours. Your on your own to and from the interview. Hope this helps some.

The interview is pretty straight forward. Are you willing to relocate?
Can you deal with a night schedule? and the like.

Your interview will be in Maiden, NC

Remember, you have to be independent minded since you may not see your
boss for years at a time

The sim is straight forward. watch for the turn after the vor I think 4 degrees to the left, dont miss it. if you do your done... this is a great place to work or at least it was. the upgrade time is well a long time. if you have your choice pick IND it was a great place to live.. and good people to work with. Good luck!!

[Boris Badenov]

When you say "a long time", how long? That is to say, how long to move from Caravan PIC to ATR? Thanks!

 

[texan1]

I have only known 1 person to move from The van to the atr in the past two or three years. The thing is, it might be quicker but they keep getting people off the street. As long as that is going on, it will be a long time. also that guy who want to the ATR has been with MAC for about 6 years. Does that answer your question.

[Boris Badenov]

Yikes! Yes, that answers the question! So I take it that the "traditional" path of ATR F/O - Van PIC - ATR PIC is no longer followed? They're upgrading ATR F/Os to the left seat? Or are they hiring street ATR Captains?

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

The ATR FO to VAN to PIC ATR still applies. You can just directly
to the VAN now. It's really the best way to go.
Van first, ATR F/O for a bit (with Van pay), THEN go Capt.

Sweet! So how about that flowthrough to mainline? I kid, I kid.

Any idea what van bases are available at the moment? What's the floater schedule like on the 135 side (if it exists at all).

Thanks again.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Flow through......BWAHAHAHAHAHA.....sigh
If only...

Bases open and close all the time. It's really random
Floater schedules are SUPPOSED to have every 5th week off.
Realistically, it also varies.

good luck

Bases are IND & GSO.

What other bases does the ATRs operate out of?

 

[texan1]

I think that IND and GSO are open for floaters. I was a floater, If you dont like being gone it can be a blast. its always nice to get away for a few weeks. Like to FLL, EWR, SBN, CLE, GSO. These are just some places that the IND floater might go to. The extra money is nice to. your not going to get rich, but you might have a good time.

[bell47]

[CrimsonEclipse]

Yes and yes.
