What do you want to know about non revving?

Facts right there...

Also with the exception of their FAs, they've settled their labor disputes with all their other work groups, and subsequent operational performance are positively off the charts.

Contrary to the assertions of most employers, it is possible to spend a little more to give your employees a decent contract, without jeopardizing the financial health of the company. The goodwill it brings is immeasurable.

I concur wholeheartedly……and that was ALPAs stance from the get go……the contract we got, was never gonna break the companies bank…..it just took massive effort trying to un****** 20+ years of bad faith negotiations to make it happen.

Im here almost 10 years now……if I didn’t like it here, I would’ve left by now…..do they still do some boneheaded things? 100%…..do I think it will get better? The forever optimist in me says “yes”. It’ll have to……and if it doesn’t…..we’ll end up with a different tail flash

Came across this thread and it's looks promising to get a few questions of mine answered.

I'm currently employed for a smaller 135 outfit as SIC in a Citation Ultra and KingAir with a contract through March. I'm sitting at roughly 1450 TT, 481 fixed wing turbine, 514 multi-engine, and am currently signed up for an ATP course that I'll be attending in a little over a month. The company is wanting me to make the transition to PIC but for a host of reasons, I'm wanting to make the jump to the 121 world, specifically, Alaska Air. I'm looking to get a gauge on how competitive I'd be at getting hired on with Alaska Air one I meet all the minimums for an FO slot. (Clean checkride record, no violations, associates degree, etc)

For what it's worth, I'm prior military with the Air Force and spent 10 years in the service as an F-16 Avionics technician. (Not sure if prior military is a good selling point point or not w/the airlines)

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My recent experience with a friend I am referring who has a lot of good stuff on their resume, but still fairly low time is that they really want 2000 hours. Apply, but keep building time.

Times have certainly changed. I was hired with 10,000 hrs 9 types a degree, and prior military.

Make sure you get the Airlines name right before putting it on a resume.

How many pilots were hired in 2023? In 2022? How many are there on the Seniority list now?

conquestdz

They certainly have. I had 4000TT with a thousand turbine PIC to get my first regional job.

About 300 hired this year so far with classes scheduled in November and December, 620 hired last year. Roughly 3,400 on the seniority list.
