Got a call from HR 2 weeks ago. Was told that they will call back early this week. Haven't heard anything from them yet.

any idea where new hires are getting sent? any chance of living in new england?

 

[JordanC]

I have an interview with them in August. I'm currently in the Midwest so I'm assuming that if the interview with them goes well, then I would be moving to one of their bases here. I hope you get a call back, and wish me luck.

 

[Islanderflyer]

According to Emily, Midwest bases available are Quincy, IL, St Louis,and Kirksville, MO.

MVY and ACK are junior, those are probably your only chances of being based in New England right away. Plan on going to the Caribbean this winter.

 

[statusseeker1]

Thanks. Do you typically have to go to the Caribbean every winter or just the first till you build some seniority?

Just FYI, at the Vegas job fair Cape Air said they are looking for about 15 pilots a month for the rest of the year. They will take more if they can get them.

Oh boy, I can fly a 402 for $9 an hour? Sounds great!

Oh wait I make $9.25 driving a bus.

That's per duty hour, not per flight hour

Oh well that solves everything. I can make $20,000 a year instead of $15,000!

Not really, I don't work there but from what I understand you make about $35k a year your first year there. Not getting rich with that amount of money, but it sure beats first year commuter pay.

That's also FO pay, not captain pay. Captains are $15/hr, and 150% over 40 hrs/wk. And allegedly a contractual pay raise in March.

 

[LucasM]

What's the story with flow-through agreement to jetBlue?

 

[Inverted25]

What is the TT requirement? One part of website says 1500TT and one says 1200TT

 

[elmetal]

and where do they currently need people?

 

[Maurus]

That pay is as a FO in a Cessna 402. They help you get the hours you need for an ATP and then plop you in the left seat for a ton more money (comparatively).

If you went in at ATP mins, like at a regional, you would actually make a lot more money first year at cape than at any regional.

 

[elmetal]

Any specifics on what bases need people ATM?

 

[Whatusername]

I don't even remotely meet the mins. But I have a few questions about Cape.

1. I know that pilots that don't meet the mins are a FO on the 402. What is the typical timeframe that it takes them to before they upgrade to CA?

2. What is the usual timeframe to upgrade to an ATR?

Again I don't even meet mins but I would like to end up there someday.

So how do guys do the Caribbean thing? Do they live down there year round or what?
