Good morning,
Just got hired for the 1Dec class. My question is about QOL for a commuter with a wife and 2 super young boyz. I live in Denver and there seems to be a lot of flights to MSP. But everything I see on here is min days off (12). That’s not a lot of time, especially as a commuter. I’m currently at CommutAir living in base with approx 15 days off per month. Sunny seems way better in so many ways… but I’d also like to see the family. Just seeing how you guys making it thru?

Commute Air…or any regional for that matter is just one email away from a domicile shuffle at request of the mothership…yeah commuting is going to blow but at least you know you’ll always be MSP based. Something to think about

Application
Good Afternoon. I was wondering if there is any chance of a cfi applicant would get their application pulled. I a. just approaching 1500 hours of which 1200 are instructing. I have a 4 year degree and have completed ATP CTP. No checkride failures. Is it worth applying or should I apply later on after being at the regionals. Thank you!

I got hired into the November class with 1560 TT and around 80 SIC in an ERJ but had multiple internal references. They seem to be hiring a lot of Regional FOs right now. I’d apply asap and you’ll probably hear back pretty soon.

With Sun Countries growth plans they are gonna try to hire up to 50 pilots a month once the training facility and all the new check airmen and sim instructors are ready. Being picky is one thing they cannot be in this environment. The big 4 are hiring pilots without a degree or turbine PIC. I’d apply at those places as well. This is mind blowing considering what it was like from 9-11 to about just before Covid. People weren’t kidding when they said you basically need a shuttle type rating to get hired at some places… Trust me we had one of those guys in the first new hire classes in 2010 before 8 years of no hiring.
