How low will your Regional go?

[Hawkster54]

A few buddies of mine want to take advantage of the hiring that going on at the Regionals. What are the lowest mins in the industry and how low of flight time have the Regionals actually been hiring/interviewing people with?

Thanks in advance.

Why? Slightly better than flight instructing?

Actually, from an FO's perspective- ASA is pretty darned good. First year pay is in the crapper (what's another 2k compared to the others anyway at poverty level) and second year FO pay is much higher than 95% of our peers. Geez, second year pay for is higher than 3rd or 4th year pay at CHQ, PNCL, PSA, Mesa, etc, etc, etc...........Plus, the cost of living in ATL is much cheaper than living in New York, Philly, or many of the other cities that are junior.

Well, to answer his question, ASA has gone as low as 350/50 if you "know someone" or spent $50G on a "direct track program".

Either way, you will lose it once you get on with Air Middy. :smash:

Without live interviewing, as well. If you fax your resume in cold turkey (no connections), you may be offered a class that starts in a couple days.

Great Lakes is also hiring wet ink commercial ME's that have someone to vouch for them and walk in their resume, but it's not all that common. And you've still gotta survive training, of course...

Actually, Air Midwest didn't have any problems filling their ground school classes hiring wet commercial multi pilots. Then Mesa took notice, told Air Midwest to stop training new hire classes and then took away the Air Midwest new hires and put them into the jet.

I can't wait for the day when the regionals hire the last cfi and wonder why there are no more applicants!

Oh thats already happening in India. Some flight schools have closed due to lack of available instructors.

Anyone know how low ExpressJet will go for those who aren't in a bridge program and don't have inside connections? Will they budge on either the 600TT or 100ME time requirement?
