I work there.. new award came out today, I counted 28 CRJ FO's that got assigned bases effective end of training..(all IAD and ORD for what its worth)

Wonder how many were offered jobs vs how many will:

Accept the job vs. wait for something better (interview practice)

or

Successfully complete the training.

----------------> that last is a tough nut. I've heard Mesa is giving extra FTD time and extra sim time, once unheard of. IOE has gone as much as 90+ hours . . . something I never would have thought possible.

God help the captain who has something abnormal happen with these pilots-in-training in the right seat.
 
Hi!

The best regional is Horizon:
Minimum Requirements:
-Must hold current class FAA Medical Certificate
-High school diploma or equivalent
-FAA Commercial Pilot’s Certificate with multi-engine and instrument ratings
-Minimum 1,000 hours of total flight time
-Minimum 100 hours multi-engine
-Minimum of 60 hours flown in last 6 months
-Minimum age of 18

Strong Preference:
-College degree from a four year accredited university

I think Air Wisconsin/USAir is next (AWAC owns about 15% of USAir):
Minimums
  • 1000 hours total flight time
  • 250 hours multi-engine
  • ATP written within 1yr of hire
  • 1st class medical
  • Valid passport
*Pilots must have a High School Diploma or equivalent, provide proof of eligibility to work in the U.S., and must be able to read, write, understand and converse proficiently in English, the common/universal language of aviation.

As I just found out, neither one is "500 hour regional", but I'm sure they will be soon.
