[Flybet3]

Sounds like a great move for all those Eagle FO's

How many eagle guys are going to take a shot at this?

I know there's a few guys I know that are going to attend the interview.

Any mesaba folks care to chime in. Do the Saabs fly into Canada and /or Mexico?

Memphis to Mexico, 800 miles at a time, 250 knots. Sounds like fun

Do you get paid in training and if so how much? Also, are you made an f/o for a select number of months prior to being made a captain, or are you made a captain right out of the chute after you pass your checkrides? Thanks.

I wouldn't be surprised if they paid street cpts as fo's until after IOE. Otherwise we have issues with current guys upgrading and being paid less than junior pilots. Pay is 75 hours per month at whatever rate, however new hires do not get per diem. I would think street cpts would occupy the left seat right out of training.

 

[Captain Morgan]

Thanks. I'm interested.

SmokingWhateverSmellsLikeCaptainMorgan say WHAT?

Falcon 20, 900, LR 35, and you want to fly a Saab?

Kidding, right? I must have missed the smiley or winky face...

 

[Captain Morgan]

Haha, no sir... not kidding. I am in a different position. I have alot of time in some cool equipment, but it's all SIC. I have no TPIC to speak of. I have a family and it's hard for me to get back into the regionals to get that time at an F/O level because of the pay. In anycase, I like the whirrly props so that aspect doesn't bother me much.
