I'm making a personal choice now to go to Lakes and hopefully it pays off. Like canadflyau said there is a lot of movement now at Lakes and I think the chance to upgrade is one I cannot let go shyly. I have three friends at Eagle, one soloed me in 1998. He has been at Eagle for 4-5 years and is still an F.O. in the ERJ; The other has been at Eagle for 3-4 years and is also an F.O. He is just leaving the ATR's on the rock for ERJ's out of ORD.


I feel blessed to even have a choice but Lakes it is. I do know someone at Lakes who walked in my resume. Same at Eagle. Network, network, network.

Holiday Inn Cheyenne...here I come.

canadflyau, any pointers for me? Looking forward to seeing you on the line.

Hi!

Icywings2:

My airline is hiring, and we just lowered our mins. They were 2000/1000 with a jet type-rating preferred.

Now they're down to:
1200 Total, and 750 MEL.
ATP certificate or ATP written by the first day of ground school.

Entry level position is as a DA-20 F/O.
Starting pay as a DA-20 F/O is $300 per week while in training. Upon successful completion of training, base monthly pay is $43 per hour with a 65-hour guarantee.
DA-20 pilots receive 8 days off per 28 day bid period.
Be willing to sign a 24 month, $18,000 training agreement/contract.

Supposedly the new hires don't have a contract. THe pay works out to about $33K/yr. base. Upgrade to Capt or DC-9 FO (base pay $37K) is looking about 12 mos for new hires.

There is a fee to apply ($35?).

Flyboy:
They may have been in a type of intern program through their flightschool, or they may have known someone at the airline.

If U start getting upset about who is hired, it'll just make U bitter and harder for U to get hired. SOme guys with almost no experience get in, while others with tons can't get an interview.

Once you're at the interview, it is a crapshoot. Does the person interviewing "like" U? If yes, you're in, if no, you're out, regardless of your qualifications. If U like an airline and don't get hired, try again ASAP.

It's very random. You've got to keep trying.

I knew a guy who recently got hired at AirWis with 1000TT and 300 multi. How does this happen? He didn't even meet the mins. What makes an HR person hold one resume that excedes the mins by hundreds of hours, and then look in the other hand at someone who doesn't even meet mins and say, "Hum, I think we'll hire this guy."? Also, aren't transtates minimums 1500TT and 500 multi? How does someone get in with only 220 multi and a little less than the mins in the total column?

AWAC have hired some pilots of late with lower than min times (it's kind of an experiment), 1 with NO 135 / 121 time just 1400 of their own time! There is also a a CAE deal going where students from RAA go to CAE in DEN and do the COMM type rating in the RJ and may be interviewed at AWAC No guarantees of anything JUST an interview shot. All at a cost of $18,000 just for the CAE training.

They (AWAC) are figuring that if they get low timers in they will stay longer (read - less time and experience) than jump ship asap. This is probably due to new hires will be FO's for 3+ years (as things stand) from now and they have had a couple of higher timers jumping ship in mid training.
