Is this legit? CAL hiring 300hr pilots...??

[saviboy]

did these women get interviews or jobs?

Knowing KD Jost anything is possible. Honestly it is the best possible training program for a 300 wonders to go through. Everyone I know over there loves it.

I just got done speaking with someone who attended this years Women in Aviation Conference down in Orlando and the word on the street is that instead of giving away type ratings like they normally do, CAL gave out 12 flight officer positions with the airline. Half of these "scholarships" went to women with under 1000 hrs total time, no jet, no 121/135. And the low-timer of the group...get this... had only 300TT and 12 ME...wet AMEL ticket. I couldn't frickin' believe it....but I guess the way the industry is today...anything is possible.

Discuss....

Whiskey Driver was hired so yes, they are hiring girls with 300 hrs.

I'm a FO for a regional with over 4000 hours and 2000 hours on ERJ. I didn't get the scholarship. I was even there at the conference and talked with K.D. It makes me even more dissapointed after hearing such a low time people got the "scholarships". Yes, I am a female.

So you can confirm that CAL was giving out these "scholarships"?

With your time, you would have made such a better candidate. What were they thinking?

Just talked to a friend that was at the conference. CAL did offer scholarships to 12 people that gave them first officer positions in the company. The applicants had to go through an interview and sim ride for the award.
