XJT is

AWAC just began another class on this past Monday. They are small, attrition-based (still) classes, but I'd say the hiring is slowing to a trickle. But, it's worth a shot.

Comair is hiring 24/month.

 

[Flybet3]

Pretty much some that are bankrupt, some that are laying off, and some that are dead ends....CHOSE YOUR DESTINY!!!

 

[ceo_of_the_sofa]

PDT seems to be running a lot of classes. Probably worth a shot.

 

[dogismycopilot]

CommutAir, if one meets their lofty hiring mins, and one wants to fly the mighty beech 1900D

 

[QXpeon]

Horizon is hiring too.......

They'll give you some FO lovin for a while.

Oh, I alomst forgot, you'll get the promise of a paycut (management's wet dream at the moment) from a profitable comapny.

get into republic before the massive hiring wave in oct begins

Mesa is hiring, though with all of these other wonderful choices, why come here....

Interesting rumor: We can't get enough pilot applications, let alone pilots, to fill the classes that they need to run. They are raiding flight schools (ex. shows up at abc flight school, hands out mass applications, interviews on the spot, class starts monday)

Interesting rumor #2: We are staffed at 3.2 crews per airplane on our CRJ in IAD and ORD....Jr. Assignments and min days off are running rampent, they are evening TDY'ing crew trackers there to hunt down crews for Jr. Assignments (no more avoiding phonecalls....darn). With all of this going on, attrition is at an all time high which is just compounding the problem.

This is nothing but ammunition for the pilot group for sectino 6 negoiations which start in March

Cheers

When applying to Chautauqua, does it make a difference in how you apply? I mean, ifyou apply online do you get a call quicker, or ir email and fax just as effective?

 

[GFunk20]

Do all three. Online, fax, and email. Good luck!

 

[CJCCapt]

The real question is "who's not hiring?"

Seriously, I think this is easier.

1. Mesaba?
2. Trans States?
3. ????

 

[capt. megadeth]

Sorry but I'm out of the loop with commuters these days. The info is for someone else.
AWAC is Air Wisconsin I take it? Who's XJT (Expressjet)? Thanks.

 

[BlueCanoe]

What's up with the slumming? Brown angry??

 

[oceandude]

GoJet....here we go!

2 year training contract at Republic... Screwwwwwww that!

I don't think I would sign a two year contract with any company that didn't give a six figure signing bonus. And with these guys you have no clue where they may stick you or what airline you may even be flying with.

PSA is a standup group of pilots. Its not perfect but I am happy here for now. Our MEC is trying to negotiate a living wage for the CRJ 900.

What are the chances of getting on with Chautauqua and getting STL? What is the lowest time they will hire at I know their mins are 1500 TT & 300 ME, but will they go below that?

Goodluck!
