B6 Application window open February 11th for 7 days only

Correct. No type rating either aircraft till upgrade.

How come? Don't certain routes require a full type even for the FO? For example, at Spirit, I believe the FLL to Lima, Peru route requires it because it is some sort of flag route rule.

Not that i know of. We do flag routes, SIC works fine.

As I recall, the whole idea behind the FAA implementing the SIC type was to comply with ICAO rules on flag flights. B6 flies plenty of flag routes and does not type (PIC) FO's. But B6 does not fly flag routes requiring relief crews either (at least not yet).

 

[Atccfi]

The idea behind the full PIC rating has more to do with IROs during cruise flight. Someone has to have a full type while in command. If the captain is in the bunk resting, either the FO or IRO has to have a full type. I don't think B6 has these types of flights, therefore not a requirement. Some companies may go above an beyond and just give a full type from the get go, but that's just preference, not requirement.

Just for more info for those interested.

40 Interviews were done yesterday. Of the 40 the lowest time guy had 8500 hours. Highest time guy had 19,000 hours. Every person that interviewed had turbine PIC time. Not sure if it was over 1000 hours of PIC turbine or not. Quite a few ex. Comair guys in the interview room. Good luck to all.

I know this goes against the JB bashers theories that say we are just hiring low time guys with SJS, but these were the numbers yesterday. So to all of you JB captains it looks like you will have some pretty good experience in your right seat for a while longer to come.

For those of you wondering what is competitive. Well here it is, as of yesterday.

No, that can't be true. That's not what a couple of angry guys said on flightinfo.

Good to hear there are still lots of interviews going on.

But to play the part of the 'angry guy on FI' there are lots of recently laid off ex-Comair guys on the street who are pissed at ALPA and looking for a job. Seems like USAir Part II in terms of demographics JB loves to hire.

(Disclaimer: Not all Comair guys hate ALPA, but just an observation of a large % I meet)

COO in his conference call a week ago said 75 for the year and maybe 40 maybe for 117. Rob is a joke too? Classes are scheduled in the sense they are on the schedule and that means nothing in terms of actual hiring.

Do you always fly to the Alternate because it is planned on the release?

Still trolling Manti!

That's not what the transcript says. He said 150-250 pilots for the year with 87 hired by July and another 40 needed for 117. He also said there are no aircraft being returned this year and all 14 new deliveries are growth aircraft.

 

[Splert]

He qualified the additional pilots and that translates to only if we have attrition.

Count on it. He said 400 a few years ago too and the attrition did not happen as planned.

Bookmark the post and we will return to this at the end of the year.

The Boobs on the interview team are trolling for ALPA no voters.

What is competitive vs what will be hired is a no voter.
