I plan on sending it in in the next week or 2. Finishing up some hour building in a twin. Do they grill your logbooks pretty badly or do the check all the endorsements and the hours check out?

I'm not really sure what you're getting at. They looked at my logbooks, and I think he wrote down the dates, times, etc. of each of my checkrides to see if it took 150 hours to get my private, or if I had to redo a checkride etc. etc. Something that would put up a red flag.

What are you trying to hide?

Here's some facts that should help you out:

38 CRJ900 flown by mesa currently
27 E170 flown by REP/MDA currently or soon to be
28 CRJ900/E170 to be flown by someone
--------
93 total

28 planes is whats coming, not a great thing but could have been a lot worse.
Air Wisc will probably see something out of this, a 1 for 1 exchange for 50 seaters maybe.

Are you sure the 170's are included when counting these aircraft? I thought the 93 was for aircraft with 88 seats (90 if no first class) or 90,000 lbs take off weight? I picked that info up off of a document posted here a week or so ago..just can't remember the thread or I would go back and look at it again.Thanks to anyone who has a clarification.
 
What's the current callback time from when you send a resume in?

How much shorter is it if somebody walks your stuff in?
 
I walked my friends resume in and she was called about 2.5 weeks later. I suspect it would otherwise depend on the type and quality of time on your resume. Average time in the last class was a little over 1700 hours total - don't know about multi. And I second the thought that if you cannot bring a nice, neat logbook to an interview then you probably shouldnt even waste the time of going to it.
 
hey guys.... Im currently flying for a crj operator and i applied at AIir wiskey... but i noticed they require a first class medical...currently mine is a second class.. see any problems with me getting an interview?? if not its my asz back to the good old Doc.
 
I'm assuming you have a first class medical that is over six months old. You're probably OK but why not just call Appleton and ask just to be sure? No sense wasting time and dollars on a physical you don't need. If you have one that says "second class" on it then you need to get a first. They need to know you are physically qualified to upgrade when the time comes.
 
naa it says second class... My first class turned into a third and when I went to the doc to get a new one the 1st class was 100 bucs and second was 55..so being a FO with no money i took the cheap road...looks like im headed back to the doctor...thanks
 
If the company says they want a first class medical, there is only one way to prove that you can hold one and that is to show up at the interview with a first class medical. Just like the messy or incomplete logbook. If it's not worth the extra 50$ to go get one, then you're probably better off not even showing up to the interview. It shows a lack of desire, and ability to follow simple directions. I certainly wouldn't hire anyone who couldn't even follow the simplest directions for an interview.
 
thats why I said im going back to the Doc...didnt known at the time I was getting it renew that i was going to be applying for a job.. thanks for input..buddy
 
I still see the smurf jets in DEN and I get a little sad....then I quickly get over it and am happy again. Lah-Lah-La-La-La-Lah....
 
Not trying to hide anything. I am currently finishing up some hourbuilding and I am curious if they make a big deal about safety pilot time. I have heard SKywest will pick your logbook apart looking for that type of thing. I think I am going to log it all as dual given since I am a MEI. The people I have flown with have had a CFII and lower.

UGH. I use to take pride in the experience of the guy sitting next to me. Now we're attracting guys with an MEI and a bunch of hour building from the backseat.

If it says "First Class Medical" get a f'n First Class Medical.

Follow the simple directions and stop playing 'what if.' Just do what it says.

I swear if I hear "Flaps 30 ref plus 5" or "flaps 8 and go ahead and bug ref plus 5" one more time I'm going to scream.

Just do what you are suppose to do.

Sorry, would not stoop that low to gain multi time. I just asked a simple question didn't think I would get some half a**ed response.

Careful buddy....there is a theme to these questions called "cutting corners" or "not following instructions", both of which can get an applicant disqualified from any airline. A successful applicant anywhere has all the required paperwork and documentation together in a neat stack so there is no question about qualifications or legitimacy of flight time. Even asking the question about the 1st class issue raises that question in our minds and will in the mind of an interviewer anywhere. Not just at AWAC. JP29 also failed another test which I won't bother to spell out. The 3 or 4 AWAC pilots who have responded here know what it is. I'll leave it to you to figure that out.

Be humble my friend. Don't blow it before you even get the interview.
 
I am not trying to start any fights. I have posed this question to some of my old cfi's and other friends of mine that fly. I pretty much get different answers from different people. I haven't really come up with a conclusion. Probably call a FSDO soon. I am basically timebuilding with another person.
Should I log it as safety pilot time or can I log it as dual given and he logs dual rec. We are basically splitting duties between flying pilot and non flying pilot. Believe me I am not trying to burn bridges. Not trying to hijack the thread either so I will drop the subject.
 
I just realized the answer to the other question. I have not sent my resume as of yet. Those hours I previously quoted are what I hope to have when I send it in. I have had friend's get caught on that based upon resume date and logbook dates. I am not trying to get ahead of myself.

If your buddy is qualified in the a/c ie he is MEL rated you can't log safety pilot at all the only time you can is if he he under the hood in simultaed IMC. You should only be logging what you fly.
