I met all the other requirements though.



That sucks! They should post ALL of their minimums on the application form so pilots would know before they apply.

Do they have any requirments on recency of multi experience? I've been flying a 208 for the last 6 months and am no longer multi current.

Actually, I looked at my logbook and found out I have a whole 13 hrs of multi within the last 12 months, but am not current. Dawn called AGAIN today and started asking all the questions again (as if she had never called) and I told her she already declined me yesterday. I told her I could be multi-current in 5 days and that I actually had some multi time within the last 12 months, and she still said no. She said I'd still have to get some multi time over the next 3 months before I can reapply (which is realistically 4-5 months by the time they call you back after you submit online).

Multi-PIC time?

This may just be a rumor, but I've heard that the 100 multi time has to be PIC. Is that true, or was that one of their old requirements? I can't find this minimum anywhere, and the website application asked how much total multi time you have, not PIC. Any thoughts??

I think I screwed up

I took some bad advise and applied before I had the 600 tt. I had like 577tt and got the "thanks but not thanks" email. they didn't say i couldn't apply when I had the time but I wrote down that ref. # and password but i can't find it, what the hell should I do ?

Thanks

Sounds similar to what I experienced after waiting the three months to re-apply. I called the toll free number to make sure that I wasn't missing something. The lady on the other end said I'd have to start a new record. See what I mean...sounds like that's what's happened with you.

I did the same thing back when the mins were 1000TT. Dawn told me to reapply when I had the TT and said that my file would not be kept and it would be like I was a brand new applicant. To make things even Sh*ttier, they dropped the mins to 600TT about 2 weeks after I got that call from Dawn. That woman must dislike me or something. It's not like I slept with her and didn't call her back...at least I don't think so.

I also think the 100 multi time needs to be PIC. When I talked to dawn this last time, she said I needed to get some PIC multi by doing IFR refreshers or currency flights in peoples' planes (who owned their own twins). She said the biggest problem they have with peoples log books is logging of SIC when you legally can't do so (i.e. in a plane which doesn't require SIC).

Oh, and Dawn also said their minimums are not posted anywhere. That's why I didn't know you had to be multi current and have 10+ hrs in the last XX months.

A buddy of mine got an interview, flew to wherever, and they told him there that it had to be 100 muti PIC.

Has anyone gotten hired with 600 and 100 multi PIC?

Maybe that's why they don't post their other minimums....so they can change them when they want to.

 

[paulsalem]

Mooser,

Wow smart guy.
Did he know the chief? Or did he just call him out and offer to buy him dinner?
