I'm not seeing a figure that shows the starting pay is at 24k for f/o's and less than 60k tops for Capts. Captains top above 60 and f/o's start at 27 or 28.

My point still remains the same though - the more experienced guys won't be staying around when there is better money offered elsewhere.

The few thousand extra for the training is probably peanuts compared to what they would pay guys who'd been there for twenty years, and the pilots get to go fly shiny jets. Everybody wins. I mean, not the FOs making $28000/year, but FOs aren't really people anyway.

Goes to the saying, everyone makes money off aviation except those of us in it - we love it too much.

I can not figure out is why you get paid anything, if missionary's are willing to work for nothing what can't pilots?

Are there any new pilots out there that just want to fly and do a good job without considering their employer simply as a career step to put ink in the logbook so they can move on.?

There is no bond at Georgian. Not sure where you're coming up with that.

Oh wonderful ... so whoever joins as a Capt will have a whole batch of disgrutled F/Os that are out to stab him in the back for the slightest incorrect SOP call, or just generally be bitchy and snippy in the cockpit because they perceive that this new guy has "stolen their seat" to which they are rightfully entitled because they have a date of hire.

That happened to me when I was brought into an organization to shepherd the Single Otter around the sky for a regional carrier when they still operated floats. The guys thinking they were qualified had about 300 hours (or less) on the water after a basic 5 hour seaplane rating and a 1.1 start of season checkout for 2 years.

So I hope the new Captains get fitted for a bullet and knife-proof flack jacket to fly with. Oh ... and have somebody else go out and start your car in the morning to check for bombs connected to the ignition system.

....good that you've got some reasonably balanced FOs then. Or at least ones that keep their mouths shut in public. All too often I see people that mistakenly think that because they have a date of hire, that they are entitled to the world.

From what I understand the next Ground School is sched. for mid summer.

Does anyone know how long after Interview/Sim or before planned Ground School they do call backs for start dates?

Just curious if anyone has any info about the above? As we all know this limbo stage can be a little tough on the nerves. I was there Mid-May and was successful on the COMPASS aptitude test system they have implemented as well as the Interview and Sim Eval. I am just wondering now long now I should roughly be expecting someone to contact me?

Thanks for any info anyone can provide.

what airlines does georgian hire from?
