Focus

[Dumb Pilot]

Anybody has the scoop on these folks? I heard from them for the first time a few days ago.
From a guy that was in one of those flight schools in Florida, he was saying that they where recruiting low time pilots.
What's their story?

The only low timers they're hiring are coming from some program at Embry Riddle. Otherwise, you need 3000 hours or so. All the other info was posted many times over here.

Thank you for the Information. In the pages that are available there are only three post of people asking about the Interview but I'm interested in hearing from somebody that actually works at Focus Air Cargo

Could you chime in as to your experience working there, Upgrade times, Schedules?

Thanks in advance for the info.

Btw does anyone think 3000 hours is high time?
For me anything below 5000 and no jet experience still low time.

Heard they torched 3 engines trying to 3 engine ferry out of BOG. True of False.

 

[doh]

There were no low timers in my interview group. All 6000+ and the only 2 who are in class so far had previous heavy time.

How was the interview experience?

Yes, they burned the remaining three engines but where able to accelerate the APU enough to circle and come back

Not Good

I know a few guy who left there as soon as they could. Not a very good place unless you just want the experience.

As we dont have any 3 Eng Ferry crews yet i find ur post laughable. I know of only a few guys that have left. One was approaching 60 and didnt care for the lifestyle, the other went to JetBlue, another to UPS and a group of 4 that returned to Polar. Two on LOA's. Focus is a ACMI carrier only 9 mos old, alot of things are still in disarray but they are trying as you can tell by the post just as in most startup's all the rumor mill churns is negative. PM me if you want additional info.

I saw a Focus plane rolled coming in on approach into BOG.
