CHQ Min's

[dal757]

Does CHQ hire many with less than published min's? 300 multi seems high...

 

[Chicken Taco]

Yes it is, and yes we do.

The company is pretty firm about the 1500TT for the 170 fleets due to the issues surrounding a 100%PC in a Level C sim, but other than that, everything is flexable based on need and the current pile of apps..

They'll have to lower those mins, what with all the flying they're stealing.

 

[Leroy Smith]

Flame on!

Gosh, 1500 and 300? That is an outrage!

How am I going to get a cool airline job without having to do some other dumb flying job after I get out of the Academy?
Flight Instructing and Freight are for losers!

 

[Turtlesfly]

yeah, just ask EMB SKILLZ

Considering most others have minimums of 100-200 then yes 300 is a little high. Not saying it's an outrage.

Hey, Hey...focus on the task at hand!!!!! This thread is going to be about bashing CHQ pilots. If you want to pick on Flight Instructors and Freight Guys, go start your own thread.

 

[dal757]

So, I'm taking that the answer is that they do hire with lower min's into the 145..??

Thanks for the info!!

 

[NCaviator]

IF CHQ is accepting lower mins,what about 1100TT and 375ME w BE400 type rating and currently a guard guy with C-130 experience?

 

[flyer172r]

If you've got less than 1500 hours, they'll interview you for the 145.

Shouldn't you be going to Fedex or SWA! I mean you are a guard guy.

 

[NCaviator]

thanks

 

[titans10]

Are they hiring street captains?

 

[Waborita]

thanks

Sorry NCaviator it was a joke you have to grow thick skin if you are going to post on here! I am at XJT and we are hiring with 500/100 minimums until the middle of this year rumor has it!

Seriously you are getting close to the minimums to be hired at Continental! If you want to work at CAL don't come to XJT you are better off with another regional.

 

[Johnny Utah]

1500/300 for the 145 and ATP mins for the 170.

 

[Yankee301]

Are they hiring street captains?

NO. Haven't since the saab days, ten years or more.

 

[i'mbatman]

NO. Haven't since the saab days, ten years or more.

I think the last street captain was a 1999 J-ball captain.....i fly with him every once in a while

 

[nev-air mind]

CHQ has hired under minimums for the 145 in the past but it looks like they are tightening the reigns. Strictly 1500/300 for 145. In fact there were a couple of people under minimums in the pool for the 145. They were called last week for the 145 May 1 class. When Linda found out they were under 1500/300 they were told that a mistake was made.

Things might have changed these days, but I know in the past they made some allowances on total time/ME time if it could be made up in other ways. This is especially true if you can get a resume walked in and a recommendation...I did it for a friend with low multi time (about 150), but higher total time (2000TT) a year ago.

With Guard experience and some good multi time they might overlook the low total time....it can't hurt to try.

As for the mistake of putting people in a 145 class with low time...are you sure you're not confusing that with a 170 class? I just had a friend get put into a 145 class. He was originally told 170 and given all the information over the phone. When he mentioned his time and asked if the 170 mins had been lowered, Linda responded "sorry, my mistake" and put him in a 145 class.

 

[NCaviator]

It can be tough at times to depend on the guard...I'd rather be a guard bum then go for fedex, ups, etc, but the pay is unpredictable and I'll only get 350-500 hours a year if I'm lucky unless the current tempo changes.

 

[Hawker800]

Anyone know what the cutoff age is for getting hired at CHQ?

 

[EMB170Pilot]

flightinfo age or actual age?

 

[Jack Mehoff]

Heard they were hiring people that claimed to be "The best 8 Hour Pilots EVER!" and well really with that claim to fame how can you say no?

 

[Hawker800]

Emb170pilot

Both ages please. Thanks

 

[gnx99]

So if you have ATP mins, they WILL put you in the 170? Or you're just gonna be eligible to be in to the 170. I hope I don't sound like an SJS dork The Saab has shaken my brain too much so I can't think correctly.... They base 170's in Chicago right? That's closer to MSP than anywhere else so it seems like the best option.

I may be kicked out of the RedTail boat soon so I need some options.

You are eligible for the 170. They made it quite clear that you will get offered whatever they need at the time.

 

[$$$4nothin]

my chq class had ages between 22 and 48. Average age was about 27-28

 

[BoilerUP]

Was told from two different sources today (a buddy in RGS and somebody in management) that directly from the mouth of WH, minimum TT for interview is now 1500 NO EXCEPTIONS.
