Vorimo Expect a Late April Call Back
Hello Vorimo,
Try and not listen too much of what OtterFo is saying. After all he is not even an otter FO. Someone told me that he once told an IOE captain (while he was still in IOE) that he had the airplane mastered in 75 hours.
Scenic has lost about 5 pilots that have gone or are going to other jobs. In addition one of the Otter FO's got hired into the F27. If you have an interview at some other place GO ON IT, don't hold your breath for Scenic. The reason why I say that is because Scenic had an informal flow through agreement with the eagle side, otter pilots would go to the F27, when the going got tough they would flow back to the otter and then go back to the F27, this happened to a number of pilots. Many of the senior captains flying the otter wanted to go to the F27, but the new chief pilot over there decided to hire off the street and as a token gesture he hired one otter FO who says he was originally hired for it. It sounds confusing I know. What they did is about as dumb as them calling the F27 a jet (eagle jet), and it’s not even a jet.
A few months ago they put out an invitation to flow over to the beech 1900. But they later rescinded that since one of the F27 pilots decided to dedicate himself fully toward the 1900.
If I were you I would continue to apply to other regional's that are hiring. If you get hired hey your at a better place if you don't you can go back to the bottom of the barrel. Expect a call back in late April.
