Oh and they said they're having trouble with issuing new types because they have to use the FAA and are therefore subject to inspector availability. If this is indeed the case, having a 737 type would probably help immensely whether you want to be an FO or CQFO.

IIRC they said for the next few classes they would be doing CQFO and direct entry. Sounded like they wanted more CQFO and direct entry would be more for people with a bunch of CA experience in a 737 already, but if they grow at the pace they say, anyone who wants to upgrade will get to upgrade in not that long. Their growth will be constrained by their ability to hire and retain, at least until/if things start going south at the legacies and the people who are currently bashing start-ups, find themselves begging for a job at one. I think if you go in and have the legal qualifications they want you in the left seat, but also want to make sure you're ready for the left seat. HVN isn't a place to be messing around.

Thanks for the detailed info. That’s exactly what I was wondering. So… how do they pay the CQFOs? I’m probably wondering the obvious… $200/hr while in the left seat and $90/hr while in the right? So you could theoretically be flying Monday as a CA, Tue-Wed as an FO and then Thursday as a CA?

I’m really curious what the work schedule is like for HVN based pilots.
How many legs per day? Is every day 2 legs (to Florida end back, then done)?
Assuming the pilots live in Connecticut, do they spend every night at home? Or if not, now many nights away from home per month?
How many days off per month, and how many credit hours per month (I think they have a 65 hr min guarantee - do they typically exceed that?)
