Trans States trying to bribe applicants with Amazon gift cards.

[CoffeeIcePapers]

Got this post card in the mail.

 

[skypilot6]

Got one too, That gift card is just in time for the holidays!

 

[NickH]

I got one of those! Bring this card to your interview... Anyone know if they are interviewing in a location worth visiting?

 

[Beefy McGee]

I could get a free trip to STL, get a free gift card, call my folks for a ride up to their place, then regift the gift card to someone for Christmas. Winning.

 

[thevideographer]

Tempted.

Is it up front or do I get half after training, and the second half after my first year?

 

[DPApilot]

Sorry @CK, but what can you offer me?

Trans States is looking prettaaay tempting.

 

[rockman2343@aol.com]

That totally makes up for all the short comings of being a regional. If they'd had that while I was there I would've said screw the car, and gone to work!

 

[Screaming_Emu]

I got one of those in the mail Saturday..


...and then again today.

 

[Zondaracer]

Yeah I got two... today.

 

[Mountain Man]

Take up a collection and turn in 20 of them at the interview.

 

[Ash Williams]

Meh... I prefer cake.

 

[scooter2525]

What are the T&C? What is MOs laws regarding these?

 

[Jpax]

Can we Skype interview and still receive the gift card?

 

[derg]

It's the holiday season. Perhaps I can crank out two interviews via FaceTime and make some holiday loot.

 

[Boris Badenov]

Even at TSA "fog a mirror" interview length, I think you'd be better off picking up open time, Cappie. Wow you really are a Legacy Captain, aren't you? Probably just took out a second mortgage to buy another boat...

 

[ClearedForOption]

I'm going to crank it up a notch and go WHOLESALE here and offer applicants

(at a slight % discount, with a couple of user fees and admin fees thrown in)

for their gift cards.

Got mine in the mail today. With about 420 hours til I'm employable (well, for 121 anyways) and only making about a 30 hour a month dent in thatI think I will just toss it into the bin with the similar cards from SkyWest, ExpressJet, Republic, TransPac, and a few other places.

Besides, I swore over a decade ago the second time I worked at Trans States (non-pilot-y stuff) to never do it again.
