Colgan

New Colgan ad for Saab FO's doesn't mention PFT....

Who was the ad for?? It was either Tab or RAA.. Colgan is 100% PFT.

Chper, you KNOW you miss Colgan... why else would you still be quoting our memos?! Haaaaa!

Hey

I miss Colgan like I miss my hemorrhoids!

Life is good here. I'm glad I'm missing winter while I work on my sun tan out here! I start on the CRJ soon.

How's everything with you?

My personal favorite is "Is the movie on this flight a commercial?" I love that one...

Job Post

1900 and Saab post were put up on 350.com. I sent a resume and keep getting a reply from Chuck. Looks like an automatted reply since it has come numerous times. However, it does look like it comes from Colgan and not tab or raa.

Just my cents

You still won't get hired without the 18K

350.com is advertising for Delta as well.. A real credible web site

I know the 2 classes going on now, one saab and one beech are PFT. However, ALL the PFTers are LOW time 400-900TT, some are young and won't be able to upgrade for a couple years due to age requirments. They need captains so they are looking at pilots with >1500TT. I know from an inside source that they will be hiring non-pfters.
no more babysitting!!

I would just like to know, are people sending in their resumes or are they filling out the application form that theyy have on their website?? Which one would be best, or should I do both?? Thanks.

 

[chperplt]

With 350 hours, you'll have to call TAB or RAA and get the check book out.. OR do your future passengers a favor and get some experience before taking their lives in your hands.

 

[BritishGuy]

Ok, I suppose I best update my information. I now have 600hrs. Ok, so it's not really much better I know, but I can try I guess. No harm. And getting back to the originally question: Should one send in a resume and leave it at that or should you send in the printed application form from their website?? And also, does anyone know what their minima are for hiring First Officers. I'd appreciate answers to these questions first please before anyone decided to add their 2 pence worth (though that too is appreciated).

 

[chperplt]

Dude... Do a search on the company. This isn't the first post on the company.

600 whopping hours will get you an interview through TAB or RAA. The non PFTers they hire will be higher time and upgradable.

According to their web site, they are only accepting UPDATES right now, and not new applications.When they start accepting applications again, they will be sure to start charging an application fee again.

 

[BritishGuy]

chperplt, I appreciate the help, but also I'd appreciate if you wouldn't be so condecending about the 600 'whopping' hours I have. Like I had already stated the 600 I have aren't really much better than the 350 you initially stated. So, please, let those of us trying to keep a positive outlook do exactly that.

I know their website states that they're only accepting updates, but www.climbto350.com state that they're actually looking and I assume its an advert thats been posted by the company.

And thanks for the advise for looking the company up in the search field. I'll do that.

Thanks again.

 

[chperplt]

Do a search on the 350 website.. They put out BULLSH!T adds..

You may think your 600 hours is enough to fly for an airline, but ask any captain who's flown with 600 hour pilots and they will tell you differently....including me.

 

[BritishGuy]

Listen son, hold your horses. Never did I once imply that 600hrs were near enough to fly for an airline - well not in todays climate, but I mearly asked a question. On the basis of the advert I saw it gave me a little hope and on that basis I asked a question. Now you're telling me that the climbto350 adverts aren't much to go by, I'll look into that further too. Though I'll take your word for it. Whats with the hostility anyway?

 

[chperplt]

No hostility Dad... Just tired of having to babysit 600 hour pilots in airplanes they shouldn't be in.

 

[BritishGuy]

Well, just so long as these people have the money to fly the aircraft 'you' sir, don't think they should be in - They will...so HA HA....And I'm afraid 'you' won't be able to do sh!t about it. So long.
