hmmmmm... interesting. I just recieved a response and application today for an interview in the mail from Champion Air. Let me get this straight - all new hires start out as FEs or can you go to the right seat? I am not FE qualified or nor have I taken the written...SmcP

Not sure, but the advertisement on Planejobs.com said they were hiring FEs and FOs. Seems strange to me since they don't use PFEs that I know of.

I believe I saw a similar job posting like that too and was under the impression they were looking for FO's. It may have been climbto350.com or something. Can anybody shed some light on this mystery?

FE/FO Jobs at Champion

If you want to work for $26,000 per year and be an FE for 3 to 4 years you will be upgraded to FO. You will start as an FE no matter what your experience is. You will be layed off when things are slow. You will most likely be based in Detroit or St Louis. Management considers the pilot group as an unproductive neccesity to conduct their business. You will be treated with no concern for you or your family and when it is time for your upgrade and you are not current then that is your fault not theirs. The training is non existant. You wanted the truth you got it. Also be prepared to spend 3 months in training at $36 per day you don't get line pay until you pass IOE. Do yourself a favor and go fly an RJ being an FE on the B727 is a deadend job that does nothing for your pilot career other than show the world that you can take punishment, low pay, and disrespect. the company is undergoing contract negotiations with the pilots. The company wants to take things away and not give. Within 2 years there will be a strike on the property.
