Hotels are paid through training, but there are two beds in the room, and expect a cuddle buddy, in training only. After training, no roommates. I wouldn't count yourself out if you are low time. It sounds like they are taking on a good spread of experience levels. I doubt you will get ABQ, as well. I would fully expect FMN for at least a few months, if not more, if the seniority list slows down. Out and backs? The best you could do is high speeds, or if you are senior, I think a few of the TEX lines get you back to DEN for a DEN overnight every other night. There might be like one more line that gets you back for a DEN overnight every other night.
do u ever fly in to abq?
thanks again

Yeah you answered my question all right. Your solution is that I don't take any job at any regional because of the pay. If I do I'm making things worse for everyone. So basically my options under your theory are to get my CFI and instruct till I can go to a major or something? Or just quit being a pilot all together I guess. I guess you never had a job with less than stellar pay and work rules and went from student to awesome job.

MKE as a domicile hasn't taken effect yet. MKE was being run by STL-based crews, and they were getting TDY pay. It was a few mid-seniority people, and a few junior people. There were no STL lines for the STL crews, just MKE TDY. STL flying was being run out of DEN, on multi-day trips. Now, with MKE being a domicile, I know a few of the former STL-based crews are bidding on MKE as a new base. I would imagine it won't be junior. Definitely senior to FMN. Other than that, I'm not sure how senior it will be as a new domicile. I would imagine most new FOs will be rotated through FMN. There will be 4 crews MKE-based.

How often do they hire into the emb? I know they only have a few of them. Where are they located?
Also, with all the new EAS routes... do they have enough 1900's to cover those? Whats their plan to pick up more if they don't? I know their 1900's must be getting old... do they plan on switching to another aircraft in the future?

There never seems to be enough aircraft but management says they are looking for more "quality" (subject to interpretation) airframes. It really comes down to getting favorable lease terms, and I wouldn't expect the 1900 to go anywhere soon.

So it looks like All ATP flightschools have gotten in bed with the Gulfstream folks.
From what a buddy's son told me who is at ATP, they are offering this as a "time building" scheme becuase they haven't been hiring many new instructors.
Checking ATP's website confirms this

Yeah i figured abq would be out which is why I asked about out and backs. I could drive to FMN and spend 3-4 days and away and drive back to abq... that wouldnt be too bad for awhile. hell.. denver wouldnt even be bad either... the commute would be easy and I already have a place to stay if need be. i filled out the online app... would it be bad to fax in a resume too?? have a fax number? i looked and couldnt find one
do u ever fly in to abq?
thanks again

Edit: Actually, I think they changed the hotel in Clovis, so I think it's much, much better now. I want to say it's a pretty new La Quinta, but don't quote me on that.
