Considering Ameriflight interview; could use some answers/input

[Maurus]

It all depends on if those CVG pilots had standing bids in for MIA. My guess is they probably didn't or else the bid would not have been posted system wide.

The standing bid system doesn't work as intended. Also isn't MIA considered in-base? CVG is still running MIA so CVG peeps should get first dibs. In theory.

MIA is its own base, only thing they do is share ACP´s.

Burbank considers it a CVG outstation. At least as far as the last time that came up in conversation.

I was given the choice between the Metro, BE-99 and PA-31. I was also told about new flying opening up in the East Coast. My Metro type rating helped open up these choices.

What was time and experience from when you were given those choices??

Also what would be the most junior base for the 99?

Depends on if they are trying to fill an undesirable outstation or in base pilot slot.
We just had a new hire 99 in ONT because he was willing to take an outstation that no one wanted.
In general though, OMA, BUF, DFW, BUR in that order for 99s. OAK, PDX and SLC are senior and saturated right now is why I didn't mention them.

BB why so saturated? They expecting turnover soon?

Actually BUR is understaffed from what I understand, but I think that is regards to training department slots too. They are looking for line/training department pilots.

OAK is just now getting back to numbers we like seeing. We have been struggling with lack of reserve numbers.

They are trying to get ready for the next wave.

I would be curious to see current numbers at the 'net compared to 2006.

Should be less since we have a smaller amount of airframes I believe. All the Navajos are gone and the chieftains will be soon to follow. Lears are all gone obviously.

Was kind of depressing seeing a schedule from 2003 in OAK and comparing it to the current schedule.

Maurus the 'net being airnet. But I would be curious to see a 2003 schedule for OAK. And I would like to see the schedule from 2008 (when I was in OAK) compared to now.

The 2003 schedule in OAK was insane, would have been fun to be around at that time. Busier than any base currently I would bet.

We are at least 5 runs down from 2008, probably more.

For those that were flying on Monday and noticed the large amount of sick calls,I guess it amounted to about 6% of our pilot group calling out sick. Hopefully it was just coincidence.

Wow, and not even following a holiday lol...

I was thinking job fair. But alas, no job fairs this past weekend. ;-)

Was SKW doing interviews?

Several bids opened up today, interesting.
