I’ve heard they’re very picky. Need to know someone internally and have a type rating on their aircraft to get hired.

Then why did Flair stopped hiring FOs if short? ... Because we're not short staffed, just short on the FO side. Lots of junior Captains fly either seat as necessary. If management has decided to hire more FO, it could mean a couple different things; more aircraft coming, or more attrition expected ...

[ How did your coworker get an offer with such low time? My coworker whose a long time king air training captain can’t seem to get an offer. Me being a newish king air captain I’m considering leaving industry due to hard work not being valued for hire at 705 operators. https://images.squarespace-cd...

Bonds are just unethical I say. Value your pilots and they will definitely stay . Under a ‘normal’ job market, probably. Over the last 2 years of unprecedented growth, there is literally *Nothing* that a company like Pasco could have done, or afforded to do, to keep young pilots around. Nobody is g...

As far as your career progression will go, dude-ette, I suggest you attend as many women in aviation programs and seminars you can. It’s fly pink month, your thousands of hours of king air pic time will certainly land you something by November 1st. Good luck troll. Sorry I do not have thousands of ...

The best PIC time is actual 703 command time. Ripping around the north in a Pilatus, Navajo or Caravan. That's the best way to make decisions and learn from them. It's also the way our licensing experience metric is designed. PICUS is the next best. TC trusts a CPL enough with a Pilatus, but to be ...

Hello everyone. Could those of you kindly PM me your experiences on advancing from 703 to 705 specifically if you were King Air Captains prior to getting 705 ops opportunities. Things I’m interested in knowing are type of experience in the king air such as avionics, geographic areas. Also how did y...

If airlines would hire experienced applicants with experience outside the circuit there wouldn’t need to be any such thing as PICUS.

Do you have a criminal record?

No

Your situation is exactly where it makes sense, unfortunately what is actually going on is pilots like me262 who think TC rules are”stupid” are getting PICUS after coming to the airline with a wet ink CPL and even then they still thinks it’s bullshit they need the PICUS program. FO time always, at ...

I needed roughly 6 hours of night PIC XC after a few thousand hours of PIC from a decade of crop dusting and water bombing. My experience was about 98% day VFR in piston bangers and turbines. A few decisions were made over all those years... I finished off my AAs with PICUS at Porter many years ago...

Encore needs to hire applicants who are upgradable in fairly quick timeframe. Sounds like poor planning to end ip with too many FOs.

Got my HireVue interview completed.
Recirutiers are active in responses and said to just wait for an update on my candidacy.

Next step is teams interview? How long usually to get an interview from previous experiences.

What type of experience did you apply with?

What does it mean to be in the pool? After the virtual interview or before? Any past experience here for how long between virtual interview and offer or GS date to stop looking for a job?? That you were successful in the interview portion and are waiting for a spot. When a spot comes available the ...

How has PAL been doing with their Air Canada CPA arrangement? Are they going to build a hangar in Halifax? I expect they will be eating more of Jazzs cake if they do well. PAL has hangars, an FBO and an extensive foot print in YHZ that was there long before and goes well beyond their CPA. As far as...

Hi all, what is the average number of applications one submits before receiving an offer of employment for a company? Also what is appropriate timeframe of reapplying when unsuccessful previous attempt?

Hi everyone, So for context, I'm waiting for a new aviation booklet and my class 1 expired to a class 3. TC delivered me a temporary licence while waiting for the new booklet to be printed. How will the doctor certify I am fit for a class 1 now since he can't stamp my booklet? Can he stamp my tempo...

Any word on hiring requirements for this upcoming classes? From our website Captain must have a minimum of 5,000 hours total time (fixed-wing) 500+ PIC hours on jet aircraft above 75 000 pounds, or 1000+ hours on B737NG/MAX (B73C) must be able to travel unrestricted to and from the United States ab...

What’re the realistic hours FOs are getting hired at?

If you hear a complaint about the seat whilst in flight, ask your colleague if they have been shown how to adjust the vertical position of the back rest (as opposed to the vertical position of the seat). I've encountered people who have operated the airplane for two years and don't know about it. I...

How did you manage that? They actually replied to you in just two days. My experience far exceeds the requirements for a First Officer, but since I applied in May and the status changed to 'under review' in June, there have been no further updates. Tell me your tips! Yes, they replied two days afte...

Maybe hiring committees look for the old school type where it’s my way only. The type we get shown each year in CRM class of not to be. This is absolutely false. Could be true. They’re not offering position to a long time King Air training captain whose respected, gets along with everyone throughou...
