I do make the mins. I have the total time and TPIC time. I'm just at the "ehhhhh....you're *just* about there" kind of time and it would actually look better to have my student time. Not a big deal, I'd rather omit than include it incorrectly.

I'm not sure there is a right or wrong answer. I would add it to SIC to get the TT up. I don't think they care or they know the program is not entirely accurate. Still I'd ask someone at pilot credentials. Send them an email and they'll get you the best answer

I added it to SIC and it wasn't discussed. They are more interested in your actual logs that you bring to the interview. If you easily meet the mins, your logbook review shouldn't be more than a cursory look. Stuff happens and they understand that A plus B doesn't always equal C. As long as you have a logical explanation, you are fine.

Looks like it opened today and closes at midnight.

So, if FLL and LAX open, what happens? The senior people want to go? Or do they turn those into junior bases?

Although you'd have a blend of seniority move into the bases, they'd initially both have a junior persuasion to them until folks figured out commutes, quality of pairings etc. Then who knows. My guess after the dust settled, is LAX would be a "junior" base & FLL a "senior" base.

I don't know about LAX being all that junior. We have a ton of people that live in SoCal that commute to OAK/LAS/PHX.

Quick question: when do the benefits start for new hires? I'm especially interested in medical for me and the family. Is it from day 1 of training? Also, how realistic is PHX for a new hire (April class date)? Thanks in advance for responding!

You're right about that. Just looking at the other carriers, their junior bases, cost of living, commutability, etc. Hope the growth/hiring continues
