CamYZ125 · June 4th, 2007, 00:40

From their website under 'minimum requirements':

"Minimum flight time requirements to submit the application are 600 TT, 400 PIC, and 50 ME. Please do not apply unless your logbook shows that you meet the minimum qualifications as of the application date. If you are selected for interview, all times entered on the application will be verified against your logbook during the interview."

Does that mean that the mins for the DH-6 FO position are 600, 400, and 50, even though not posted under that position?

I caught that after posting. those were the previous mins, which were previously posted with the rest of the requirements. I'm thinking they just forgot to remove that.

I will investigate...

aloft · June 4th, 2007, 01:17

Please do...I'm interested to know what their true mins are.

I will ask my friend the next time I see him...probably tomorrow.

Berkut · June 5th, 2007, 00:39

I'm interested as well. I wouldn't mind a move out west.

slushie · June 6th, 2007, 00:45

Those are the times...

Berkut · June 6th, 2007, 01:14

I wonder if they're having trouble finding people.

Scenic's old Twin-Otter FO minimums = 600/50

Current times for regional ~ 600/100

Wonder no more.

So are the minimums 600/50 or Commercial Multi?

thanks. You know anything about if they have an employment contract, what the pay is and how much hours you get?

It's not a "contract," it's an "agreement" whatever that means. It's pro-rated.

all that other stuff is on the website...go to the forum

Berkut · June 8th, 2007, 04:42

It's hard to make any sense of their website. It's horribly outdated and full of conflicting information.

The date at the top of their site says, "Friday, June 8, 107." I think seven years is plenty of time to correct a Y2K bug, guys.

B · June 13th, 2007, 12:41

Anyone know what the pay is I can't find it anywhere. Is this still a 121 op or did they change to 135?
Thanks

no longer 121.

I'll ask for specific pay rates

B · June 13th, 2007, 15:09

Thanks I could not find that info anywhere.

aloft · June 13th, 2007, 17:26

What? Tiring of the mighty Alarus, B?

B · June 14th, 2007, 00:17

The mighty Alarus is going away. SLCC is planning to "join forces" with UVSC, and this program is moving most likely moving to #2. Soon you could pick up an Alarus with a Garmin 430 and a Sandel EHSI for REALLY cheap. The young bucks here will be flying the Katanas, and dimond stars. Me I won't sign a 6 month contract just to get checked out in that thing, plus I have almost 1100 hours. So on ward and up word!!

aloft · June 14th, 2007, 02:34

1100 hrs and you're not in a class at SkyWest yet??? Lacking ME time?

B · June 15th, 2007, 14:22

Yep

slushie · June 19th, 2007, 15:46

$6.75/hr on the ground
$13.50/hr in the air
$1296/mo guarantee

According to a new hire.

That sucks!!!!! I wonder if they are having problems finding pilots.

RPJ · June 26th, 2007, 10:26

I would absolutely love this job, the twin otter rocks. Only if I had my Comm ME. Hopefully this opportunity will still be there in 30-45 days.

This kind of job really appeals to me, but that pay is just so low. How hard is it to live out there on that amount?
