App to interview time at CHQ?

[Whitestoneclimb]

Anyone know how long its been taking from online app to phone call at CHQ?

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

I have been waiting 4 weeks also faxed my resume twice. It seems looking at other as quick as a week and as long as 6.

 

[beech1900kid]

CHQ is a crap company that uses a bad contract and creative legal concotions like Republic to avoid scope clause duties. Go ahead and work there so you can make $34 an hour as a senior FO on a 70 jet....pathetic

 

[GEORGE DUBYA]

Who do you suggest we try and work for?

 

[EMB170Pilot]

ahhhh dont listen to that dork. Majority of people on here are a$$holes and they hate their lives.

I am an FO on the 170 for CHQ and I am absolutely loving it! Do I wish we ALL (and I mean every regional airline) got paid a lil more, YES! I dont care for making peanuts. I consider myself very lucky and blessed to have been able to have gotten onto the 170 and also to be very senior in it.

CHQ is getting more and more 170s and also 190s. Exciting times are at CHQ then at any other regional (my opinion)

So far everyone that I have met have been very professional and a joy to work with. Good Luck with CHQ and if you get the interview, PM me and I'll let you know what they asked me during my interview. Later! Not everyone on here are dorks like that beech19 nut job

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Dawg, I've been in the hiring pool for six year. I's watin fo dat call mang.

 

[Flechas]

They never called me, their loss, I like it here a lot.
As far as flying 170s, it will wear off for you guys, and you will realize you are whoring yourselves flying it for 145 rates.

Fly safe.

 

[dgarro]

CHQ make you do a stupid wunderlic test, then a written which makes sense,the only thing for the whole interview process, then fly a desk top?? Come on does that prove your flying skills.Then they pay you little or nothing andCHQ gets all the flying. That is b#@%s*it if you ask me

 

[AirlinePilot777]

All I can say is that I'd rather make peanuts flying a jet than make peanuts flight instructing. Besides SE piston time won't help me get on with a major (Yes I still think I'll be flying a 757 some day).

 

[EMB170Pilot]

I didnt have to take that wonderlic (or however you spell it)test. I was actually looking forward to taking that.

Get bored of flying the 170, dude! that airplane is so sweet, I honestly dont think I will. As for the 190s Think Ill get bored flying that?

 

[Flechas]

I'm pretty sure it is a sweet plane, but eventually flying it will be just a job, and you will be bitching about the pay.
You guys are setting the bar very low by flying those things for that money. I'm not blaming the pilot group, I'm sure any regional would do it, but that's just the way it is for now.

Pathetic!! And this is the exact attitude that is causing us to talk about working for peanuts instead of buying that second vacation home.

Amen Brother. This attitude of just wanting to fly a jet for some pay, any pay at all is what drags us all down. Pilots always have been their worst enemies. Unfortuntely all you flight instructor types never realize the damage you are doing until you've already taken the job flying for $hit pay at a $hit carrier. Remember how cool a c152 used to be and then you flew it a few times and got tired of it? Same **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** happens in the RJ, the 170, the 737 and the 777. Don't listen now, but think back to this in five years and you'll be saying, wow, he was right man, he was right all along.

.....THERE IS NO BAR

 

[Lil Jon]

so what should a cfi do? instruct for 5000 hrs trying to make mcdonalds pay, then demand six figures for an rj job?? and if you're saying this plane and then this plane, it all becomes a "job" why are you still flying for a career if you dont seem excited about it.

 

[asarjfo]

.....THERE IS NO BAR

Yes there is, right across the parking lot from the hotel. I am off for some happy hour brew!!

Good Day!

So why are you flying a 1900 or a CRJ? And how much do you make? How much did you make first year?

Stop bLaming ALL YOU FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR TYPES, as far as I'm concerned you are a tool just like all the FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR TYPES!

[flyguy81]

Anyway, back to the ?....I initially applied in October via snail mail, then faxed a resume in December, then had a buddy walk it in in Feb, refaxed this week and was called today for an interview.

 

[PropsR4Boats]

Why doesn't every Reg pilot org get together and set the pay aprox. the same. Comair pays the best right? Lets start with that. 12 days off /mo on res. 20+ days off/mo for line holders.

Is $hitaqu.a.taco better or worse than mesa. I think mesa give the res pilots 8 days off. Good like commuting, or good luke finding a place out of the getto for $2 hr.
