I prefer it in the winter. Day1. Paid to commute to wherever you are going to be flying for the week. Work for a few days, 3-4 probably depending on the line you are covering. Paid commute home the last day or day after if the line ends late.
Its nice to only have to drive to/from work once per week (saves on gas $$$). Plus you get per diem of $35 a day(not much but it helps).
Its a good way to get overtime and explore some flying outside your home region.

Depending on how many FOs upgrade in the next few months, I imagine they'll need some more. Seems like the current FO pool will be able to handle the needs in the MidWest.

Had a friend interview just yesterday. They told him 4 classes from January to March. Heard through the grapevine that the first 2 are Captains only. They had quite a few FOs in the last class, and I think a bunch of the people in the current class are not quite at Captain mins and will be flying as FOs until they get their time.

Just curious was your friend interviewing for a CA or FO position? I'm thinking of reapplying to Cape Air as a CA. I have all the ATP req'ts with previous 121 and 135 exp. The one snafu is low multi only ~135hrs.

One of the big things they actually look for is a college degree. They don't care what the degree is, but they have found that there is a huge difference in the training success of college grads vs. non college grads.
PM me if you have some more questions.

Talked to Gene yesterday; I'll be interviewing on the 16th. Times are 2400/40 + ATP if anyone is curious.

He was interviewing for a CA position. You should definitely apply. ATP mins with prior airline experience is great. The low multi shouldn't be a big deal, there were a few in my class with <30 hours.

Yea I have the 4yr degree and ATP written completed too. My 121 experience was brief as I got furloughed about two weeks after IOE and am looking at a loooong time before I get called back.
Where are a lot of the 9K guys that are leaving going to? Regionals? LCC? Supplemental 121?
I would like to go to 9K largely for the ME PIC but my personal goals are the airlines and this may put me back a year on regional seniority lists if I can get hired again now.

Training contract for FOs specifies that after you get your ATP, you'll promise 1 year. FOs are based mainly at the St. Louis outstations (UIN, MWA, IRK, TBN, and CGI), where we're required. There are a few others scattered around (3 currently in BOS, 3 in HYA, 1 LEB, 1 LNS).
