Hang in there,
For what is worth the " rumors " is : Mountain Air & Empire Airline ( West Coast Feeder ) are supposed to get 4 ATR72 each. So hopefully some hiring should be coming.
If the " rumors " is true the A/C should becoming at the end of the year ?

Did you just make that up? Or do you actually know something?

 

[sky-sign]

Just a Maintenance rumor !!!!
Will have to wait and see if correct

 

[A300FE]

I will believe it when I see them on Feeder City's ramp, in FedEx colors, and broke!

Same rumors are floating around EA. The numbers change a little between a total of 6 - 8 ATR's but the basic rumor is more aircraft are on their way.

They said they were gonna have an EFB on those ATRs 3 yrs ago before the economy crapped out...HAHAHA! Right now there's 25 caravans parked in MEM from various operators....

ProPilot - If your profile is accurate, it looks like competition is as stiff as I expected it would when I submitted my app.

It's accurate...I live in the Cities, so this would be a great gig for me...

 

[surveypilot]

Good luck to you!

FOs

DLH run. 5 night a week. ATR42
Show up time 1830 local departure 2000 local, flight to MSP ( 35 minutes flight ), go to Hotel, show up back at 0500 local for a 0630 dep to DLH.
Start on monday night, done saturday morning. As a captain you are 3 weeks on & 1 week off ( obviously you are off when back to dlh on saturday until show up time monday night).
Pay scale look at www.airlinepilotcentral.com it is accurate.
Do not know if the slot as been filled or not.

Hope this help.

Do FOs get any time off besides the weekend?

 

[sky-sign]

FO who are assigned a base in this case DLH, are 10 week on/ one week off. If you are a FO floater you are 5 weeks on /1 week off.
Don't yell at me I did not make the rules....

 

[colt27to42]

I do not believe any current MAC pilot bid for the DLH run, which means junior manning or hiring off the street

 

[sky-sign]

This is partially correct Colt... No FO bid it, but at least one person bid for captain upgrade but was told no.

 

[colt27to42]

yes you are correct, I should have saig no "eligible bids"

 

[Flyer Niner]

This is partially correct Colt... No FO bid it, but at least one person bid for captain upgrade but was told no.

Do they have hard mins for upgrade or is it pretty subjective? I'm sure in this market they can get someone with higher qualifications off the street.

 

[surveypilot]

Looks like they filled the DLH captain position.

As I said before "I would not believe it until I see it". Well, at least one ex ASA plane was in MEM last Friday. They flew 2 to the maintenance hangar last week. I do not know about the other 2. A total of 4 planes for MAC that will not be ready until next year. Cargo mod, paint, paperwork, etc. They might hire more Captains off the street. Not many more FO’s that are upgradeable in house. Keep trying.

Yes, hard mins. (as of today)...

Lighten up, Francis.

The word is the customer bought 7 out of 8 ( ex ASA atr72 ), in the last couple weeks several airplanes as been ferry to our maintenance base ( this is fact ! ). Who gets what out of this 7 is still just rumors. The earlier rumor was Mac was getting 4 out of them, but now it looks like it might be just 2. No matter what it is good news for the feeders, and one or more feeder is going to hire to fly those birds.

 

[surveypilot]

Thanks guys. Any hiring in this economy is good news!

Are they the same mins as for off the street captains?

Yes, hard mins. (as of today)...

Are they the same mins as for off the street captains posted on MAC's website?

You're way overqualified. This is an entry level position at an entry level company; they're prolly thinking you'll bail just as soon as something better comes along, because that's what most people with your quals would do.

If you really really really really want the job you're going to have to convince them that you're not going to bail first chance you get.

That means phone calls.
