Airtran will hire guys with EMB-120, B1900, Saab, Dash, etc. If that is what you consider light twin. Anything less than the above mentioned may be a stretch. I know there have been recent hires at Airtran from Mesaba, GIA, Lakes, Colgan. Jetblue holds pretty firm on the 20k thing.

2k pic t'prop under 20,000 +3000 sic 727 +600 sic 747

1500+ 121pic (J32), plus check airman letter, plus went to 3 'job fairs' in a row to see AirTran. Was politely told that if I had FMS time versus jetstream time, I probably would have already got a call. Still waiting, but still obtimistic! It's a hard pill to swallow to go back to $20/hr to get some jet time just to compliment my resume.

I am currently CP for a corporate operation flying a King Air 350 (Pro Line 21 Equipped) and have my sights set on Air Tran, do you think that turbo-prop experience would help? Thanks

Princeakeem – maybe it’s because you showed up wearing a dress!? I think a guy wearing a dress at a job fair (or anywhere else Princeess!) sends a wrong signal! But that’s just me…
