USA 3000 Hiring First Officers

[ProPilot5]

So what is competative at usa3000? Any possibility for hight time 1900 turboprop operatiors to get on?

Any tricks or jobfairs, or just showing up at corp. to get a "Foot in the Door" so to speak?

Thanks.

Wish I could give you the right answer. The majority of my background was in the mighty Beech, but I did have a little bit of time in the CRJ before I got hired.

I know they like to see the whole glass/fms/jet time, but like anything in this industry what they prefer and who is actually applying are two different things.

Hi!

Other posters said that it's not commutable, but if you live in base it's fantastic-no overnights, and flying about 9 hrs/day. The new hires were for DTW and ORD according to the info.

I'm not sure what competitive is. I was just hired, and had nothing but part 91/135 experience. We had a couple guys who were 121, but had lots of 1900 time. Seems like a great place to be. Can't wait!!!

U5 Q's

I'm in ground school for USA3000 now so i might have the most recent info.
As per Chief pilot, EWR is actualy NYC ( all 3 )
Now my info, not CP.
Going from 10 to 12 planes.A decision on if the extra 2 will stay after the season has not been made ( U5 owns them and leases them out during off season)
Current staffing levels with newhires should still put the somewhat short for 12 a/c but just right for 10, so furlought is not very likely. Just my opinion.

My experience with this company has been soo good i keep having to pinch myself. From the first phonecall from HR, the pre-training info, absolutly everything. All except the most junior guy got first choise in domecile.
The background of the people in class is broad. Two skyway DO jet Capts ( U 5 has hired several from skyway)Two from MESA (one with no PIC) Two fom PSA ( one w no PIC) one trans states, one corp prop guy,one gulfstream and one mesaba.
It was my first pick as a place to go for a long time because of out and back schedules. I've been doing the regular airline 3-4-5 day trips w hotels for a long time. This would be like when i started on the mighty mighty beech, in my own bed every night.
Hope this helps. if anyone has any Q's just post and ill try to get an answer.

Take care
Joe.

Welcome aboard. Been here several months now and have yet to see a downside - other than the crew meals will cause you to put on weight if you are not careful.

Technically speaking you are correct that EWR is actually NYC - covering all three major airports. But supposedly it has been a few years since they have done much of anything other than EWR.

Where are you guys doing your training at?

Apparently Airbus uses the MIA sims primarely for new customers (skybus) so we are in DEN. Indoc done by the company guy @ CAE, Systems done by CAE, and sim split between CAE and United( using CAE sims @ united) We just finished indoc. I feel we have a really good group. we've all been around the buisness for a while and chose to come here. I was talking with one of the guys i've known for a while, and i can not spot the one(s) that are here for the type or waiting for something better. we're all sick of the 3-4-5 day trips followed by a commute.
With regards to EWR, TL explained that it was rare to fly out of LGA, but JFK would sometimes have a charter starting there. But they are aware that it could be problematic so they would help with transport EWR-JFK when it happened. I hope he is right.

Take care.
Joe.

Hey Joe,

Where there any spots open in PHL or BWI?

Thanks, I start on Oct 26th in Denver and can't wait.

 

[smoknjoe]

Yes, both HAD openings. there were one each, both taken as of now by someone in my class. i have NO idea what that means when it comes time to award your class domeciles. Someone could quit, leave or upgrade. I say there is allways hope. I got my first pick. Seniorety is done by age in class. The most fair way in my book. So if you are ( like me ) older than most you should be next inline for a spot. do you pref on or the other? Why? For me it was PIT or BWI no 2. same drive, i live inbetween. PHL no 3.
I see you have been posting about U5 for awhile, so im glad you got what you wanted. Excelent.
I WILL see you on the 26th. ill buy you a beer

Take care.
Joe.

 

[mrebuck]

I live in between BWI and PHL, so each is the same drive. I'm expecting ORD, but if I get either BWI or PHL, life will be very good. I'm glad to be here either way.

Thanks, a beer sounds good. I will see you in Denver.


Did the training department give any indication how much time guys/gals would have off after sim, but before IOE? Others have had 10 days....I was just curious if that was the rule or the exception.

Thanks again.

Everyone in my class had a minimum of ten days off. By contract you get at least seven.
