Don't bet on that lol. Miami will be paid for of course, but no way they pay for the 2 weeks in SFO intial. That would be a miracle.

Job is not on career site. Are they only interviewing from internal recs?

Good luck guys and gals, see ya soon.
Is it common for you guys to do sim in MIA? Or are you over capacity at SFO?

They had training credits from Airbus that expired in March that they got extended. They had filled sim slots with Frontier prior to filling classes, so it was a win win situation. Word is they have plenty of apps to pull from, which is why the window is closed.

Default Interview

I interviewed yesterday and was very pleased with the entire interview group. From the crew on the flight up, and the interviewers themselves, it really seems like they have an amazing group of people working as a team.

How long have you been waiting for an interview? I have been waiting since May & received an email about December saying there would be no more interviews until after the first of year.

As a newhire you are considered SFO based right off the bat so the hotel is on your own. If a pilot has sims at SFO then the same thing applies. If a newhire gets sims at Miami, then that is not their base so they are entitled to per diem, hotel, and in this case rental car too.

I agree, although we got rental cars when we were hired after indoc to travel to the sim building in SFO, and kept it till after check ride/LOFT.
