GIA to hire many off the street Capt's

[Captjiggles]

I heard that GIA purchased Air Midwest along with 22 B1900D's. They are hiring around 65 crews. Sounds like a great opportunity for 121 PIC time.

Still only a rumor about Air midwest, but with the attrition rate here, there are going to be plenty of jobs available.

First officers also? Or just captains?

You can be a FO for 34k.

If you give me 5K, I'll guarantee you pass your line check!imp:

Hey dog, do you think I could get on with gulfstream as a captain?? 2600tt with an atp.

I heard that GIA purchased Air Midwest

We have been reciving company internal e-mails stating the opposite. They may have bought some 1900s but probally not the whole airline.

34K for a Beech FO. Not too shabby. What do they make on the Bro? I might have to polish off my resume again.

 

[CFIfornow]

They charge 34k to train you for the right seat job

[slam_clicker]

I heard rumors about a PIT base. Enjoy the cold.

Air Midwest isn't sold to anybody. Just downsizing.

If you want some PIC time quick, I can hook you up! However, you run the risk of being labeled a PFT-Scab-Scumbag for the rest of your life with no hope of ever getting a job at a respectable employer. Also, I believe you're over-qualified

JUst like in the early 90's when everyone paid for a commuter job.

2600 hours is overqualified for a 1900 CA position? If so, then that is really sad...and scary!

GIA needs pilots. The time is coming for street hire FO's. If it doesn't come soon, the company will collapse on itself. As of recently, we have 10 fo's for 7 emb120's. Most of us Captains have been sharing the cockpit with another Captain.

Keep your eyes and ears open for this to happen within the next year. For right now, we are hiring street Captains on a regular basis to support the GIA flying and soon to perform Air Midwest flying at the respective bases.

If you do become a street hire at GIA, you had better join the union. The management is volatile and hostile.

An update:

Now 9 first officers for 7 airplanes. Anyone need a King Air pilot?

 

[dal757]

I heard a rumor that Gulfstream was purchased by someone last year. Is that true?

 

[Sawmill]

What is a GIA street captain interview like? seriously. Test? Tech questions? sim? anyone?

 

[XJohXJ]

What kind of union representation do you have? Do pilots have a choice whether or not to join?
