Hey there anyone got any info on Gemini? I heard they are hiring.
Thanks

 

[Whale Rider]

I heard they hired a few guys to the right seat of the MD-11.

They are NOT a bottomfeeder ACMI.

 

[AgreenFO]

what's ACMI?? and does this mean Gemini is a godd carier to work for??

 

[purduej]

Regarding Gemini, is there a phone number to list for the jumpseat and find out what flights are available?

 

[metrodriver]

yep, go to their website, it will show the phone number.

@ green f/o : learn what ACMI is before you even think of applying at Gemini. Part of your home work for a job search

Just for curiosity,

what is the average total flight time and what kind of jet experience, the new hires had prior employment @ GAC?

I'm about to start class in two days... I'll let you know in a year or so!
From what I've seen of the pilot management, the CP, DO, and others, is that they seem like a class act.

But a few of the guys here can tell you more..

You are correct, but they are NOT a bottom feeder ACMI, as our esteemed Gemini newhire likes to spout off!

Oh how quickly these threads turn south. Typical FI degeneration.

90% of the lines on the 11 for Jan were 17 day lines.

Do a search on here and airlinepilot. If you have more questions after your research or want clarification. Feel free to contact me.

The basic minimums for Gemini are 3000 total to include a 1000 ME PIC turbine and an ATP. There was hiccup a few years ago, they removed the PIC requirement based on zip code (no longer the case). We even had some people misrepresent themselves as to where they lived. This is not to say that if you had some quality right seat time time in a 72, 73 etc.etc. they would look at you.
Perhaps V70 can poll the new hires as to their time.

Here are my totals when I got hired but it has been a while. So, rather dated..

6600 total
2200 Jet PIC (BE400, CE650)
1800 turbprop SIC (J31, Saab 340, Emb120)
1000 Jet SIC (CRJ)

Gemini hiring...

I was hired at Gemini w/ approximately the following:

4200 TT
1360 Multi-turbine PIC [all cargo Part 135 ops]
96 Jet SIC [no glass cockpit experience -- all steam gauge]

Also, I was hired as an F/O straight into the -11. I had the least experience among the new hires in my class; save for one other person. In any case, if you're interested in Gemini, don't hesitate to send them your resume. I've since moved on, however, the flying/experience was irreplaceable.

Fog,

Do the 17 days include the commercial to and from the airplane or is it actually 19 on with positioning?

Also, was it supposed to go to 16/14 or did the new contract not get that?

Day 1 is travel, day 17 is travel. It is very rare that you position straight into a trip. My rotation last month started in S. Africa. It took me two days to get down there. Now you may operate into a deposition on your last day. I request ASAP travel home. Some guys will go to the hotel for 10 hours then travel home. Just personal preference.

We have a daily credit of 4 hours. 4x16.25 days=65. So with the math they use it turns into 17 days.

V70T can give more accurate details. The Jan new hire class times range from 15000 to about 4,000 hours. Some ACA guys, 1 COEX, 1 Part 135 guy, 1 ex-ASA, Swift.
I believe 1 had no turbine PIC time, however he had considerable 72 time. The rest had over 1000 PIC tubine time. Out of the six, five had internal recommendations.
The Jan class will go to LGB for the ground school and Helsinki for the Sim.
Heard from the DO there will now be a March class, with talk of an additional 3 classes after that. Some will be transitions from the 10, how many I do not know.
