Yep they do.

Does 650/140 stand a chance or are they just taking prior 121s and low timers with type ratings?

You would have done 12 months ago but I don't think so now. Talked to a guy who came here from "pinch a nickle" a couple of months ago and he said the only way he got an interview was because he knew an AWAC pilot who he'd flown with.

New hire classes are down to about 10-15 a month which means they can be a lot more selective. Also I'm pretty sure we're not doing the PFT thing anymore. That was more an experiment than anything else.

But, things could change in an instant if we were to get any new flying. Send in the resume and see what happens.

That is kind of what I was thinking...

What is the deal with ORF being a pilot base? By looking at their route map you would think they would use Charlotte or Pittsburgh.

I am guessing DCA and PHL are large bases with ORF as the small one.

Any chance of the DCA base growing?

ORF was the company curve ball, as in none of us saw it coming. It's a maintenance base and as such seems to have schedules that have early shows and late finishes. Add the bitch of a commute from most places and you'll get an idea why it's the junior base.

DCA has been extremely senior and the smallest; there are direct flights from MKE so it's populated by a lot of the ex-BAC guys. Although, the last vacancy just increased the number of captains at the expense of ORF. So it is getting bigger. We're getting more flying out of there so that's the reason for that.

We've been told that the three bases we have are the three we'll have for the next 9 years, but then we were told we'd never leave DEN and we all know how that worked out!

ORF went senior for F/Os, cheeper to live i guess.
