No, they all need at least a Commercial, Multi Engine, Instrument ratings before they can start this Direct Track program.

XJT requires the Comm/ME/Instrument, and 400 total time and 100 multi engine to interview.

Once you interview upfront, THEN, you pay the $22,500 sum to flight safety and start your training.

Here's more detailed info about this program:

Four airlines participate in the Direct Track program... ASA (on hold, not running), TSA, Eagle, and XJT.

As far as I know, at the end for your sim checkride, a check airman comes form your respective airline you were conditionally hired for. Once you pass this checkride, you start indoc with your airline.


The XJT Direct Track came around last year... the first class went through June 13 2005:

And the ERJ 145 is a full motion simulator, Level D.

I'm sure glad I spent 1450 hours as a CFI sweating my balls off in light aircraft for nothin'. All I needed was another large loan. Silly me....

I have no doubt in some sort of XJT program at FSA, but I don't believe that XJT check airmen actually come out to FSA and give checkrides to fellas who have wen't through the program. These guys have enough to do training and checking our guys and I doubt XJT is going to pay them to come on out and check FSA guys. Again, I could be wrong. I still think your $22,500 would be better spent getting some real flying experience, but that is just my opinion. I have flown with some of these FSA guys and they sure could use a little more experience instead of learning to fly in an RJ. None of them are bad pilots, they just don't have the basic flying skills that someone with more time has.

I believe coex was PFT back in the days. Sort of hypocritical if they dont take GIA guys now.

Hey JetPig..how was Mexicoat......? I highly doubt that all GIA people are blacklisted...their is usually a rhyme or reason. Good Luck

I have 900 and 105 and a buddy of mine walked in my resume and I filled out the online app. Would you say I have a good chance of getting interviewed?

-umm, no. Walking in a resume does ZERO good. Just be patient and wait. If you have the minimums, you will probably get called if they need you. It took me 5 weeks before I heard anything.

When i was in training (just finished) George Semak (director of training) came into our class and said that if we wanted to recommend somebody then have them fill out the online application and then submit a recommendation directly to him with the reference # from their online app.

By the way, I heard back within 10 minutes of completing the online application and had the interview scheduled that same day.

-U probably know who this is. Just finished training on the fourth. Start IOE on the 18th. Hope you had a good PC with N. Look, all the dudes working in HR said that walking in your res' sent you to the bottom of the stack, but that's just the word that I heard. I'm moving to Houston next week.
-Hope to see you soon, and what is your base?
-Matthew H.

Hey! Yeah PC went well other than the sim breaking down 5 times. (Flight Safety Sim at Hobby).
I'm gonna be in IAH too. see you there.

It helps brother. I called and talked to GS about a buddy the day he applied. My buddy was called the day after he applied; GS called him also, and then met him when he came in for the interview. He looked over the LOR I wrote, and took a copy of his resume to the hiring committee before they were interviewed.

G.S. Put out a voicemail awhile back saying, once they applied online for them to give you thier ref. number. YOu could then take it to G.S. along with their resume and he would call them for a phone interview. If he liked them, he would then invite them to the next interview session.

There is no more reference number that I can find on the new hiring site. Ive had my stuff in for a month now, and am currently collecting unemployment due to blowjets, so a new flying gig would be pretty good about now.

-Well, I will be walking around Houston next week... I'm moving here! - I hope we get our first paycheck on the 16th. Only about a grand or so... kinda shabby for bustin' our butt so long! Are you done as well? Mitch said you guys were held back alot..

Yeah everyone is done except 3 people I think. We got screwed by the FTD breaking down. So it pushed our PC back a week. Other than that we made it through each event unscathed!! I will be in IAH soon looking for a place as well.....
