Default Info Please

Anyone hired or interviewed lately? How many hours and how long after submitting your resume were you called to interview? Does one need a recommendation to get in?

I can't speak for Silver Airlines but I can tell you that you need an extra 1,000 hours to be hired at most regional airlines. By Aug. of next year you'll have to hold an ATP and PIC Type rating for the aircraft you are operating while an FO. If hired now, most places can't get you the 1,000 you need (training time, reserve, etc.).

What's the worse that could happen, get a letter that says "thanks but no thanks" "please contact us when you achieve XXXX TT". If I was you I would apply anywhere that they are hiring!

Always apply and never get excited.

Offered a Beech class in July... was told on the phone that I would be able to hold Capt on the Saab in 6 mos. Can anyone confirm whether that sounds accurate? Was also told if I wanted FLL, I could have it. I think this new management is honest, but I don't know enough about them to know if they are just trying to get me into class.
