It's hard to know exactly what the Legacies are going to ask for since they haven't but a small trickle in a long time. Once the hiring picks up we will have a better idea. The general consensus is that PIC time, while not required, is a desirable thing to have on the resume. Guess who generally gets hired first.

PIC is not required and may not even be desirable at airlines who fear they may lose a large share of their pilots to legacies. Those include Jetblue, Spirit, Virgin and so on. The idea is that these pilot will be less marketable to legacies and therefore tend to stay longer.

FYI- Leather jackets are NOT approved at RAH. If you were referring to a company approved trench coat, wings are not to be worn on the exterior. If you were referring to a company approved blazer, then carry on. Also, as part of our winter uniform, let's all make sure to wear our hats

I think the guys that sign the 24 month $20,000 contract should wear orange jump suits!

If someone ever managed to coordinate that, where everyone showed up in those.... that would be so awesome.

Many of us did. I'm not whining, I know I can handle anything life will throw at me. I'm smarter, more skeptical, and less receptive to bull****. Right is right, wrong is wrong, and i'm getting ready to cash in on my dues.

As a pampered product of the early 00's, you shouldn't accuse a senior RJ FO of being a whiner. Chances are that he has been beat down, hardened and learned how to deal with guys like you. You will soon fly with them.

Welcome to a generation who has indeed experienced life.
The thing is hetman was a captain for less than $30/HR, on a b-scale, with a lower guarantee for a long time. he used to commute, then they opened a base where he lived, then they closed said base. He has been around the block many times and has a long background. he has a wife/kids like you. he was hit with insurance increases too over the years.... he even smokes! The beating will continue for all until morale improves....

fwiw... Alaska is opening their window and they dropped the PIC requirement.

PIC is not required at Atlas Air. Since they started hiring in 2010, Atlas has dropped their minimums twice.

Have they hired anyone without PIC time?
