a few months ago (aprilish) i met the guy who does hiring at airnet and he told me that they were planning on hiring in the near future. apparently they expected that recalls werent going to be enough to cover their needs. the guy told me to fill out their online thingy,which i did, but never heard anything. anybody know whats up
 
You must have used a gmail address in the online app.

On a serious note, as far as I know they have not called back even close to all their furloughees. They did, in February-ish, call a bunch of people who were in the hiring pool at one time (myself included) and try to "catch up" with them. I never heard anything further from that, and I don't think any of the other folks here on the forum did either.
 
We have been getting a lot of calls from them lately to cover their runs.

I can only guess they are short staffed. (in our neighborhood)
If you are interested, I'd thrown in my paperwork about now.
 
I used to work closely with the recruiting department and they told me the most common reason a qualified candidate did not get a call was because of a simple online application mistake.

Nope not even close.
I wouldn't bother unless you got nothing else to do.

Did the pilots at Airnet take a pay cut some time ago?

I thought they were paid more.

No they got a pay raise but like most places although the overtime can't be counted on it's pretty usual.

I don't know why they are calling us some much lately then.

I'm not complaining. I like working.

Just checked APC.
It says they are hiring. Did somebody update that page incorrectly?

They hired two off the street people into the Lears for a passenger startup. It was a special deal but somehow everyone picked up that they are hiring. I assure you they are FAR from hiring anyone to fly freight in the props and Lear upgrade is close to 6 or 7 years with captain closer to 10.
 
I still resubmitted an application with my updated times... I can't help it, I'm just desperate to get out of Instructing! If I have to instruct for another year, I'm going to seriously have a breakdown!

Hope you don't have to do 6000 Dual given before you get your first non-instructing gig like a friend of mine did.

Very depressing.
 
As of now, we are not hiring, and I don't know of any plans. Airnet is running very lean, and we are in fact short-staffed. However, management must feel that it's cheaper to charter runs than hire more pilots. We are so short that the chief pilot, lead instructor, and director of training are all flying, and frequently. This is not SOP at airnet...or at least didn't used to be.

As far as the Lears go... Forget the idea of ever flying a Learjet here. As they come up on major inspection, they sell or part them out rather than pay for the inspection. When I was up there three weeks ago, we had five on the chopping block. If I'm correct, that leaves us with about 8 jets left. Down from about 20 two years ago. (I believe this is right, but somebody please correct me if I'm wrong). They aren't upgrading pilots. Believe me, I'd be bidding very aggressively if they were, I've been in the baron/chieftan for two and a half years.

I'm not trying to down on my company, because I love being a freight dog. But the reality is this: The AirNet that we used to know is gone.

It's more like 16 jets left, down from close to 40 a couple years ago.

What are you guys doing with the jet runs once the airplane goes away? Replacing them with pistons/t-props or just letting the run go to someone else?

Or, I suppose more likely, the runs themselves are disappearing and no need for the aircraft?

I was thinking of the STP-Denver lear run, for example, which I thought was gone now?
