I got called for an interview as well, mine is on the 28th of October. I have no problem paying my way for it. I only have 400 hours for crying out loud! I'll take this opportunity over flight instructing for the next year hands down...

Prepared to wait tho as it sounds like a good outfit.

I got a call from ACC about 4 months ago but turned the interview down because I had just moved and signed a lease. I'm still very interested in this company but need to save some cash for the family move. Anyway I'm just curious about where most the pilots are going after training as far as getting a scheduled run vrs. charter work? I have a family and I'm not real interested being on the road 19 days however, I would be willing to do it for awhile (6months max) if I could transition to a scheduled run. So is this possible, can you bid a scheduled run from doing charter work and how hard is that to do? I just don't want to get stuck doing something thats not going to work, its enough to have to relocate anywhere in the country to get the job. Last question-How long is the training contract for captain? Thanks alot for any feedback, I currently fly cargo and I think it's the best.

I just got a call last week for the same class. I signed up for the 11th, but then she called back to say they moved back the interview dates. I picked the 24th of Oct. Sounds like a good operation, and I am stoked that anyone would look at a CFI with 650tt. Anyone know of what the starting salary is on average. I would take anything to be flying in a turbine, just trying to brace for impact if the tell me a salary where I will need to get food stamps. On another disclosed website (I am sure they dont appreciate name dropping here), one pilot who was interviewed in early September, said his class date was November 1st. I would expect they would be hiring for that one. But who knows...

Wow, you guys are getting called out 650? How are you submitting your resume's and to whom?

I have always wanted to work for ACC if I got into the cargo side of the business, I guess I need to shoot them a resume..

 

[BayAreaCFI]

I was wondering where guys have moved onto after having worked at ACC?

 

[BayAreaCFI]

I understand that they have a couple of falcons, how long would it take someone to transition to that from the shorts?

 

[flymeach]

Is it typical for new hires to be placed on a line spot or do they go for the on-demand runs? Is there usually more flying associated with one or the other? I was looking at the website for the company and some of the routes looked as though they only flew 2-4 hours per night. Also does anyone know how long the training is? I think my last post got burried, any word on the starting pay? Thanks to everyone who posts on here, and for giving us green-horns a clue.

What is the 19 on, 9 off schedule like? Is there a lot of flying or is it more time spent in the hotel? Also, is commuting possible.
I'd also like to thank everyone for taking the time to answer our questions.

 

[Tram]

Well, I've got my resume' in.. I guess we'll see what happens..

 

[flymeach]

Good luck Tram, hope there is a spot there for you.

 

[Tram]
