Hi!

If SC was hiring 5 years ago, I think they'd do great. But, with the current hiring situation, I wonder if they'll have trouble with their lower pay.

I was considering them,but the pay just seems relatively low, with potentially very long upgrades. Is there something about SC that makes them great to fly for that I don't know about?

Thanx!

PS-I would've applied for them some years back, but they weren't hiring.

Also, 2 things to be weary of if applying.
1. Good chance of Furlough
2. A long and tedious fight up the list for upgrade.

Pay is now in line with other carriers, since they all took pay cuts on contracts and we got a pay raise on our last contract. I was talking with one of my NWA friends and I made actually a bit more than him, granted he was on reserve, but we are competitive now. Upgrade took me a long time, but rumor is they want to grow and upgrades will now go much faster. SCA is a great place to work especially if you live in MSP, but even most of our commuters like it here too.

Thanks!

I think the first post covers most of it. I think they want to see 500 to 1000 pic turbine or turbo prop. I have recurrent on Monday and Tuesday. I will check with the C.P. I'll get back to ya.

Do you have to pay for your own type?

Do you have to pay for your own type?

Type is not required to get the job, however, they do not type you until you go for upgrade to Captain. No paying for a type. I never have and now I can reasonably say, I never will pay for a type.

You say that there are quite a few that commute, do they have lines that are commutable or do they allow trip trades? I've heard it is a great place to work. Any idea when they are going to interview? Thanks alot.

Trips are commutable and they do allow trip trading. Interviews are starting in March for spring classes. Plenty of info on this site if you just do the research.
