CHQ Mins

FO Friend there recently walked in a resume for me after finding out I met their current level of expereience desired for 2k total and 300 ME. No mention of PIC, IFR or Turbine, though I am quite stocked in all columns. Friend has good repor with recruiter there and said I should be near the top to call for Interview. Heard nothing so far. Guess nothing there happens fast.

Noticed increasing hostility, agitation and dispariging remarks in a lot more threads than normal around here. I am not going to ask if we can all just get along? I will simply point out: the most pathetically unuseful or aRsenine piece of garbage posted on any segment of this board, well deserving of a good flame may just originate from a potential or future Captain, CP, Check Airman or DO. Remember that when replying to the thread. Be humble where you are at while you are there and respectful of it after you leave. You never know what or who you will need tomorrow.

Some people have information while others think they have information. What is relevant for one may be a neusance for others. If I were one who thought I had something useful to present and fearful of criticism from many of you, I would keep it to myself. What a crime this would be and a lost opportunity for one of my fellow aviators who could find the info priceless. If you just want to see yourself published, that is fine. If you want to argue with someone about an idea or info posted, work it out over your emails. Do not condiscend one of your brothers or sisters here in print for sharing what they think they might know. Many times they are not tooting their own horn, they just want to find clarity or confirmation. This is no time or place to be tearing each other down. If anything, our solidarity should stand out against management and ownership malpractice at our places of employment. Show them we won't cross picket lines and we won't crawl all over each other to take what ever we can get for what ever they will payans most of all we qill hold them accountable for their actions with company assets and concepts. We will get through this, some will get through on furlough and others will lose there job because someone doesn't like them and they have to decide on somebody to let go. Get a smaller house, lose a car payment and eat Ramen noodles, whatever it takes but you will survive. I am in it for the passion of flight. Others are in it for the money. Two completely different drives with one very specific Goal: FLY! For a company that will let you determine what, where, who/which(FA's) and how much you fly.

Companies read these venues to get a feel for what they can get away with by how we are treating one another. I can't prove it but would bet money, they also know who you are, posting these threads and try to keep those personalities well clear of their cockpits.

Be safe, Be Bretheren, by God Be Pilots!

For those who find Maddog's post too extreme....you must rememeber that CHQ FIRED 125 of their pilots (I was one). Not a single other airline fired their people. And yes union representation is weak.

But hey they already did it once, they wouldn't do it again, right???
 
hiring minimums

Does anyone know if they are hard and firm on their minimums........specifically the 300 Multi? Would 200 Multi get a look at the resume or thrown in the trash?
Thanks!

Just send your resume anyways, you never know. I mean how much does it cost to send it? It's worth the 37 cent risk don't you think?
 
BBBBWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't been on this site for MONTHS!! I come back here to see what I missed and I see this:

Looks like my former CHQ buddy had some fun! Way to go cannuck!!
 
Not extreme, not untrue; just stale.

Regardless of what your position is on the "issue," it is still the same old tired rhetoric. Give it a rest. Post something unique.

Well, I've been at CHQ for the better part of 4 years. I'll be the first to admit, it isn't perfect, but I haven't been treated poorly. Unfortunately, legal and moral don't always mix. It sucks, it's over, move on. One of my good friends was one of the 125, he's back and has about 100 people below him and got his old Seniority # back.
I am a line CA in MCO.

As for hiring, all I can say is send in a resume. Rosa, our only pilot recruiter, is up to her knees in resumes. If you meet the minimums, send in a resume. Rosa is able to distinguish what is quality time. Also, apply online @ www.flychautauqua.com Before 9-11, we couldn't find enough people, and obviously now, they are coming out our ears. Just hang in there. you'll be called.

Also, for a rule of thumb, guess 10 pilots (5 CA + 5 FO) per new airplane. We have 18 more coming for Delta, but who knows in these times.

Good Luck!!

UNQOUTE.


WHAT? Where do you get off calling us a bottom feeder? CHQ is a great place to work. If you don't want to come over, that's your loss. We have our problems, but I don't think there is a nicer pilot group to work with in the industry.

Bottom feeder? Because we work hard and try to do a good job? I guess Southwest is a bottom feeder, too, huh?
 
CHQ is not a bottom feeder because of its pilots. The pilots there are the greatest. Its a bottom feeder because of Bedford....anyone who fires 125 to save money on training costs and blames it on 9/11 tarnishes a whole airline. Just my .02
