Considering going there as a street captain ..... But the signing contract has got to go for sure... They didn't have that back in 2007 when they were hiring tons of street captains .....

I would consider it if I thought i had a chance to actually get the job, maybe this is there last round of hiring low guys? if we bust our butts we could possibly have the 1500 by August of next year. I am definetely up for it!

If you got hired now, you probably wouldnt be through IOE or on the line until the end of July. That being the case, you would need to have 600 hours at time of hire in order to hit 1500 by next August, flying an average of 75 hours a month. At 300 hours, you would need 120 hours a month.... (unless your a military or university guy)

In my opinion, they need to pull their cards out of IAD or ATL and focus on getting everything in order in FL first, before they start sending aircraft that they dont have, nor to people the fly them, to other bases...then again, what do I know.
As far as a "signing bonus," dont know where you heard that from. I can see the signing contract going away, considering there is wording in the CBA that says that no pilot is to pay for the use of any training equipment. I think it's one of the things the union is working on...
