Stumbled upon the airman trainee thing and applied
"Career changer", mid late 30s, grumpy af, even more so due to the impending move from FL to ORD, otherwise professional on the job and likeable in real life. Been lazily flying rich people around last couple of years, overall 10+ years of flying here and there a bit.
Air Whiskey seems like a good outfit and a solid group of people. Congrats on the United thing.

The Airman Trainee program is a great deal for any pilot who does not have the minimum hours needed for an ATP certificate yet. You apply the same as you would for FO and interview for it. The interview is much easier with a shorter test and no technical portion.

If your accepted in then you will onboard and become an employee. Your job is at the beginning of the month to report how your hours are coming and to call and check in. At the end of the month you log in and do an online training (normally takes 20 minutes). For this, they pay you $100 a month and you get non-rev rights for you and your family (currently with American, not sure what will happen when the switch is made to United).

There is no commitment to AirWis. If you decide to go a different direction you give two weeks notice and can walk away. If during the program you go to AirWis's CTP course then you will incur an obligation at that point.

All and all it is a great deal if you still need to build hours. If you already have your hours then they are going to interview you for FO and the ATP is not an option.

Any chance of IAH being a base with United?

Always a chance. I think BNA, CAE are more likely but you never know. I think a lot depends on our performance. I heard we are bidding for bigger aircraft/more flying.

I doubt it. Hasn't United already scoped out of the bigger regional jets?
