QX Hiring

[Q400 Gear Bitch]

Hey Q400GearBitch, isn't it a little too late to be drunk posting with that 0500 departure from MFR.
BTW, You missed the midget stripper last week.

What are you talking about eH? 50 feet bottle to throttle....8 hours smoking...oh wait. dang it. I missed that one again. Seems like I always miss the midget stripper too. D'oh!

One more question for you guys. Is QX still a smoke free workplace? It is no longer showed as a requirement on the website. Do they still test people for nicotine?

 

[Carl_Spackler]

You might be thinking of AS being the nicotene free work place. I don't think QX has ever had that policy.

 

[8AF]

I could be wrong but I saw that on their (QX) website a few years ago.

Any pay during training? Hotel? Is anyone commuting from the Midwest? Just trying to do a little planning. Thanks again!

 

[Q4_4_QX]

You are paid for training, it's been a while though can't remember how much. The hotel is paid for. Double occupancy for ground school and single for sim training. One of my friends commutes from Duluth, he is pretty new but I think that it's going ok so far.

 

[Skeptic]

Thanks Q4 4 QX. I will commute from MSP to start with and eventually relocate. If you could find out the pay issue I would be grateful.

Fly safe,

Pay is minimum guarantee (16 hrs a week or whatever it works out to be...they work on a 35 day bid period, so their "monthly guarantee" is actually a 35 day guarantee. I think it is somewhere in the neighborhood of 92 hours for lineholders...maybe 86 for reserve). So this is what you will be paid during training. Minimum guarantee. And you are paid Dash-8-200 pay regardless of what equipment you are on until you have reached the seniority level of the next aircraft pay scale. That part is a little complicated to explain, but the bottom line is as a new hire you are assigned your aircraft and domicile, and you are paid -200 pay. Hopefully, this will help with your planning.

Thanks Flip. The Mrs. said, "Show me the money or some faximilie thereof..."
Hope to see you all soon!
fly safe!!!!

just bumping the latest trans states thread to the top...

This certainly HAS turned into a Trans States thread considering all the replies and interest.

The Mrs. said, "Show me the money or some faximilie thereof..."

...and you said, "Well, that's going to be tough since I will be an FO at a regional."

 

[JetSpeed219]

Like any carrier, they DO make exceptions for experience and competence.

Although the requirements posted above are higher than what they request on their web site, they ARE what QX considers "competitive".

I might also stress they want good solid records on IFR and multi time.

Good Luck

What exactly do you mean when you say good solid records on IFR and multi time?
