Which Major is Best for a New Hire?

[Chubaka]

Mesa..........no wait, MESA SUCKS!!!!!!

US gives a full type to the FOs.

 

[relief tube]

The first one to offer you a job. Seniority is EVERYTHING!!

tell that to the skybus rangers.

not if that airline goes tits up 3 years later.

If it's going to be your last job, have some standards and at least aim somewhat high.

 

[Mr Hat]

I agree, you should always aim high and get the best possible job you can. I'd suggest Pan Am, Eastern or Braniff to name a few. Avoid Continental....that place it terrible!

Thanks, AA, UNICAL?

 

[Ex737Driver]

Since luckytoblowforajob hates cal, I would take her advice and avoid.

 

[catIIIc]

Thanks, AA, UNICAL?

I know CAL gives everyone a PIC Type in all aircraft I don't know about UAL.

 

[bluefin]

US Airways is expecting to hire in '11. Supposedly there are 800+ pilots over 60 as of now.

Doesn't change much though. :erm:

 

[FLYLOW22]

I'm assuming most, if not all, majors will be hiring off the street in 2011. If one had a choice, which major would be best to get hired at in 2011 and why? (I know 'best' is relative, but let's assume pay, seniority/advancement, and retirement are the criteria)

I'm particularly interested in which is better between DAL and AMR (assuming AMR starts hiring) but would be interested in what's going on at other airlines too.

Trick question?

Delta has 1700 pilots between 60 and 65 now, and will have 2200 by this upcoming Summer.


Bye Bye---General Lee

get hired at Delta next year and you'll be 50% in the company in less than 10 years assuming -0- growth. Any growth (projecting a minimum of 3%) just moves that number sooner. Big time retirements coming at Delta fwiw

Huh? 6000 pilots in 10 yrs retiring = Not even remotely close. Check your math.

A type means nothing....The next job will take you on your experience and suitability AND will re-train you in their culture.

So if you have 5000 in the RHS of 75/6...whether the paperwork says SIC/PIC means nothing.

And believe me if the co. needs a PIC rating and will not pay for it...you'll be looking for a new job in six months anyway...
