Why are they hiring regional Fo's and not people with turbine PIC? Does the place suck that much? I know a ton of captains who have applied and no call and I see here online guys with no turbine pic what give? Cheap labor?
 
Not sure why. I had a Spirit guy in the j/s and he said that they liked glass and jet time. Take that for whats it's worth. I do know 2 rj FO's that got hired there with 0 TPIC.
 
At AIR-Inc Atlanta, they told me and two of my coworkers(w/>5000 jet) "No glass? Thanks, but no thanks".
 
Who's hiring without 1000PIC requirement? Nobody, So those who get hired are without a 1000PIC are kinda stuck. Contract also says you need 4000TT to upgrade. Not sure how much that sticks. However, this would stop a turnover problem. From a companies standpoint, pretty smart. Ask the former US Air guys how hard it was to get a job with 10000 hrs with only 900 Turbine PIC.
 
Let's see...who is hiring without 1,000 hours of turbine PIC time. Just to name a few...

Continental
Delta
Northwest
United
US Airways
 
That glass sure is tricky to figure out.
