I'm in the pool for ASA. From what I understand, I'm one of about 40ish people still in the pool. I hear that ASA is short for pilots and that there are classes starting up in November. I got a phone call last week asking if I'm still interested in a class with ASA and what my times were. I'm a career changer, and started flying to fly for an airline. I think I have a good chance of being in a ground school for ASA in the near future. I live in Atlanta, and ASA is and always has been my first choice.
Last week, I had a different job offer fall into my lap. A local, part 91, Falcon 10 job just opened up at my home airport, less than 10 minutes from my house. No training contract, they pay for PIC training, it's close to home, and the money is much better than I'll make as an FO at ASA. I will have little chance of an upgrade, as the captain and the plane's owner are good friends. However, it will be operated under part 91, and I WILL be logging my legs as PIC as I'll be appropriately rated and typed.
1. Will ASA still be around a year from now?
2. Will there be a strike?
3. With a lot of folks leaving ASA, will there be growth/upgrades once/if a contract is finally agreed upon, and, potentially, as mainline Delta starts to hire next year?
4. If I get 1000 hours PIC in a Falcon 10 under part 91, will that help or hurt me in the future if I look at getting on with another airline?
I know that there are a lot of ASA folks who are not happy with how things are going down at KATL. PLEASE give me sincere feedback and do not turn this into an ASA bashing thread.
Corporate flying is extremely diverse...it can be great, or it can suck worse than a regional airline...it just depends on the outfit.
