I didn't know that....wasn't sure how guys in class before me were notified.

By the way...who the hell is that in your avatar??

vheissu · October 4th, 2007, 18:27

haha. It's Sig Hansen from the TV Show Deadliest Catch. Alot of people probably think it's me, maybe I should change it

cfii2007 · October 4th, 2007, 18:59

He just looks a little cocky, that's all.

Maybe it's just the angle he's looking at me......

He's a Norwegian crab fisherman. Of course he's cocky

cfii2007 · October 4th, 2007, 19:55

Fisherman?? What the hell is he doing in Las Vegas???

Berkut · October 4th, 2007, 20:10

It wouldn't be the first crabs caught in Vegas, I bet.

cfii2007 · October 4th, 2007, 20:20

I agree!!!!

vheissu · October 5th, 2007, 13:12

That's for sure. Went ahead and changed it.. So have you heard anything yet cfii?

cfii2007 · October 5th, 2007, 13:23

Not yet. I sent more resumes out yesterday just in case.

vheissu · October 5th, 2007, 13:52

Yeah that would be a good idea in any case. You try Piedmont?

cfii2007 · October 5th, 2007, 14:04

Yes...and PSA. Also applied to TSA. Haven't heard anything back. Scenic is the only interview so far.

Have you started groundschool yet?

vheissu · October 5th, 2007, 14:16

Class starts on the 25th. I know that Aerial Mapping gig in one of the other forums needs people, I was lined up for that but had to cancel for Scenic. Seems like it would be fun and the guy was nice.

cfii2007 · October 7th, 2007, 19:55

I will be applying there as well. Should be a good way to get up to 135 or ATP mins.

taseal · October 24th, 2007, 01:11

damn it! still no letter? my palms were sweatin' to see if you got the job or not! lol

Aviation.miller · October 24th, 2007, 20:25

I applied to the company yesterday. My times are 600 TT and 500 Multi, I applied to both Scenic and Grand Canyon Airlines... so are these currently the same thing or does anyone know how that works? Any news on upcoming class dates... and how long is the class for Scenic?

cfii2007 · October 25th, 2007, 11:53

I got the letter and was not offerred the job. I'm really not sure why.

GCA and Scenic will be merging sometime around January.

They are still running one class a month, but more than likely you will sit in the pool. Classes are 6 weeks, from what I remember.

Sorry to hear that man

I'm really curious why too... maybe that Becca thing you were saying? (because of altitude?) your logic made sense to me.... why would I see any other altitude there besides what it should be? I would have setup my altimeter long before I got there

Exactly what I said about the altimeter and beca, that question got me too it was very frustrating. By the way Aviation.Miller with 600 total and a lot of multi, Scenic isn't for you unless you live in boulder city.

taseal · October 28th, 2007, 05:10

I would have probably argued the altimeter setting deal with them, and end up pissing them off and getting the boot right there haha...

i'm pretty persistant with things unless I can be proven wrong.

cfii2007 · October 28th, 2007, 15:22

I'm not sure what Becca thing you are referring too. Is it the altitude crossing the fix? If so, I stated it would be to confirm the glideslope is working properly. I guess they didn't like that answer. But, when it was explained to me during the interview, I seemed to agree.

Kinda glad I went down there, learned a few things during the interview.

vheissu · October 28th, 2007, 17:20

Sorry to hear that.. have you tried Grand Canyon Airlines? The two companies are merging on Jan. 1st. They have a little higher min's, and they fly the Twin Otter. http://www.grandcanyonairlines.com/g...=86&lang=en-US

cfii2007 · October 29th, 2007, 10:21

I sent them a resume as well, still have fairly low multi. It's okay, I'm going to be instructing in Arizona for a while, probably get the MEI.

NJT916 · April 10th, 2008, 11:26

I just got an interview 1 week after submitting my application online.

Times: 240/130

Thanks for the previous posts in this thread, they are helping A LOT!!!

Anyone heard anything on the rumored raise?

vheissu · April 10th, 2008, 16:35

New pay proposal will be effective the 13th of this month. Pay is no longer based on Effective Flight Hours, it is straight duty pay now. New FO pay is $12 a duty hour, with a $5 an hour override after 11 hours. Guarantee is based on 64.6 hours a pay period or equivalent to 140 hours a month. I'm expecting it will be around $1300-1400 a month after taxes. There is also a year end bonus that you will get in November as a "thank you" for staying all season. It is $4 for every hour you flew from Dec 07 to Nov 08.

All in all, it's an improvement, and should good this summer when we get really busy. Also, they brought back the training contract for new hire FO's. Don't know all the specifics, but that will be effective for all new hires after April 13th, and it's a 12 month agreement.
