ACA Pool, interviewed in August with ~2100/750 or so and a friend in class to walk it in...
Skywest, Jan 6th class date, interviewed 11/19 with ~2300/950.
All but 50 of my ME is 135.

Good luck, Philip

Interviewed with Colgan Air and ACA beginning of August 02.
Had 1500/500 multi. All instructing. 4 year ERAU degree. Had resume walked in at ACA, not walked in at colgan. Didn't get ACA, started colgan in sept and now have 100 turbine already. Haven't done reserve yet. So far i am happy ACA said no, swimming in that pool would suck, and colgan is now talking about upgrade with only 500 hours in type. We'll see what i think in a few years.


Had a phone interview with Ram Air Freight in april 02. Faxed a resume with 1200/260 multi. Assistant cheif pilot called me up and said i needed to work there, cause i wouldn't be competitive otherwise as an instructor. I would have to fly a lance for the first 4-5 months. I turned him down, logged another few hundred multi as a MEI, now have a 121 job, and i am still laughing at him. He said if i ever feel like i need more 135 time to call him, (sarcastically). Everything is a gamble though in this business.

Interview times

If this might help, I had my first commuter interview twelve years ago with my ATP and approximately 2800 total and 635 multi in my logbooks. All instructing and no 135 time.

Recently started at Air Wisconsin (Oct 28). We have 18 people in our class. The class average was 4000 hours. The highest time was 11,000 (121 furloughed) and the lowest was 2400 (135 King Air). Don't recall what the Multi average was but mostly everyone had some sort of 121 Capt time.....I'd guess around 2000 multi/turbine was the average.

Started with Colgan in September:

1450 TT
210 ME
1300 Something PIC
Flight Instructor and Flying Part 91 Chieftain

Colgan has been pretty good so far. It's better than saying I have a class date somewhere and watching everyone else fly. Maybe that will change but so far so good.
