So my reading of this is that Navajo ops with a UPS feeder would not meet this definition?
 
I'm loosing my pic spot at my current airline and I more than check all the boxes here... Even preferred stuff. Few questions... Is it commutable? My wife's job is not moveable. Flight benefits? What's the culture here? Positive or the same regional grumpiness as everywhere else?
 
Received the call for Captain interview April 30. Any DEC's or current pilots with updated info I could PM?

Sorry just takes to my friend and he is at sim. He said that things are finally looking up. Did you get an offer?
 
I didn't take it. The pay vs cost of living, likely hood of being perpetually on reserve, and the opportunities of going directly to mainline were the major factors that swayed my decision.

Can't say enough positive about the people and experience though. It just wasn't the right opportunity for me.

Thanks for the follow up!

That sucks I was only on reserve for a few months there.
 
1st year CA was what, $53/hr? Its hard to consider moving here for that low, but from my dispatcher friends POV, he says not hard to get off of reserve. Although flying enough to go above the minimum guarantee would be hard. Going to round 2 interviews week of the 12th!
 
If anyone here works there or has any additional information, could you please PM me?

Thanks!
