That would be competitive at Flair for an FO position in early 2023

I’m pretty sure you are very competitive considering flair recently hired flight instructors.

Can you tell us which bases are being awarded at the moment across the system?

Since I’m flying the King Air, does that qualify me to fly the Queen of the skies?

It really depends on when you get hired and if it's FO or Captain. I can say that pretty much every base but YOW is open for the December course. Even if you don't get what you want as your first choice it's virtually certain a new hire would hold their first choice within 6 months with the current growth.

Everyone in the company currently (including the Oct 2022 class) will hold their first choice of base by December 01, 2022 with the exception of those bidding YOW Captain.

Are all the invites for December GS sent? For FO’s what kind of experience levels for Jan, Feb and March are expected for a start date?

I'm not directly involved with recruitment so take this for what its worth. December and Jan DEC's or experienced (4000TT +) FO's are being prioritized. I believe the Dec class is around half full currently. Beginning in Feb and onwards we will start mixing classes with lower TT FO"s. Candidates with 2500TT + will be preferred although each class has a few spots open for sub-2500-hour candidates.

Can we still expect an invite for Dec class or is it full?

I guess you could look at it that way. If you're trying to insinuate that management positions in Flair Flight Operations have a low workload and lots of spare time then feel free to apply for the next open position :lol:

I choose to post here to provide factual, up-to-date information for pilots either currently at Flair or considering Flair. I choose to do this despite the time demands of the position because I think it's important. If you don't want to read what I post feel free to ignore it and move on.

We (at least I) appreciate your continuous feedback. One of the only employers who actually takes time to provide us with info.

FWIW, with comments like that, I think Negroni's handle should be replaced with Jabroni.
