Is Gemini still hiring

[RightTraffic]

What's going on at Gemini?

 

[2LT]

Best guess...

I would venture to say that so long as UPS is hiring, Gemini will have to hire.

Keep updating w/ GAC, they don't always post vacancies and do appreciate continued/consistent interest.

Fogrunner might be able to say more...

Gemini is hiring, mostly to replace the pilots who are leaving for Fedex, UPS, JetBlue, SWA, CAL, Airtran, etc. Heck, they've had guys leave class before their checkride!
They are parking some DC-10's and will probably be down to 4 DC-10's and 4 MD-11's by the end of the year. Rumors say hiring will continue through the rest of the year.
If you want to be a Freight Dog, jump on in. Just don't forget that the above mentioned places are also hiring.

You feel that breakfast is the most important beer of the day!

i thought that they require a two year contract is that still going on and is that after your checkride.

Hi!

If U were a real freight dog, you wouldn't be UP for breakfast.

It is much too bright at that time of the day. That big shiny yellow thing up in the sky will burn out your eyes.

If you HAVE to be up that time of the day, stay indoors with all your curtains closed, or, better yet, just stay in your coffin 'til it's dark. It's much safer.

Actually in long haul freight, sometimes you takeoff during the day, watch the sunset, fly all night, and watch the sunrise in the morning.

And chase the setting sun going the other way!
We don't haul bank checks from Houston to Dallas at Gemini. Anything less than 8 hours is a short trip or one to a refueling stop.
Gemini is also an ALPA shop. No training contracts.
50 bucks a day while in training, 45 an hour with a 65 guarauntee after that. (35k first year pay)

Having at times been on five continents in a week or two, breakfast is a relative concept.

Yes, they're still hiring. I guess I should say "we" now, cause I started Indoc here last week. DO told me they just held interviews for the next class. Yeah, bodies on the list below me! He also repeated what fedora said that we're planning to continue hiring thru the end of the year. About 1 class of 6 per month. That's the plan anyway.

Did he say anything about a replacement for the 10's? Also, is there that many guys leaving that they need to hire that much?

 

[jercdevil]

Were's the door

 

[Birddog]

Do they prefer a paper resume or an emailed one?

Are all newhires going to the MD11?

Probably already covered, but how many days off per month for a newhire would be likely? Also, would anyone care to list a few of the MD11 destinations? I imagine you would see a lot of the world.......

 

[DA-20]

Did anybody hear back from them about the May class??

They are hiring for the MD-11. Days off are 16 days on and 14 off. On the MD-11 you will see schuduled flying in EU,Africa and India. Have fun

Is the Chief Pilot still MA?

That schedule is the reason I won't be applying. How can you even contemplate having a family life? 16 days is waaaaay too long. Sure, I know that Atlas has longer trips - something like 21-25 days in a row. I note that UPS doesn't have super long trips like that but it can be impossible to get on with UPS - that's the catch.
