Transtates hiring

WestIndian425 · June 10th, 2007, 23:04

I just got this info from someone and wanted to pass it on to anyone interested. I'm currently very happy where I am so this doesn't benefit me, but it may benefit someone else.

LOL!! Well they have to do something to add incentive against the other carriers, I guess.

I do not mean any offense with this next sentence however I can not think of a better description:

This is retarded.

Probably something proportional to their hiring requirements.

Check airlinepilotcentral. It probably isn't that much different than everyone else. This is McDonalds, everyone else is Taco Bell, Burger King, etc...

Not for most of us coming up

They pay better than PCL but still, whiskey tango foxtrot. I remember chuckling when someone said that Mesa's new minimums were a CPL, thinking that was ridicilous!

...seriously, a wet comm ticket and ya'll are happy??? Okay...

I'd never fill out an app there as long as they have GoJet on property. TSA has been hiring for a long time. They can't get people to show up to class, and I think their attrition high as well. They're hurting really bad for pilots.

Maybe worse then other outfits.

Plus I hear that they're prone to say you're hired into the EMB but show up to class to learn that you're going to fly the CRJ-700!

No thanks.

Is that really that big of a deal? I mean, it's not like them saying you're going to fly an EMB and then they stick you flying a rusted out 210 or something. Or when you meet a girl online who says she's "average weight" and ends up being ginormous. Average for Wisconsin maybe. But I digress.

CRJ - EMB - either one would treat SJS me thinks.

Chris_Ford · June 12th, 2007, 11:57

the CRJ is operated by GoJet while the ERJ is operated by TSA. That's the sticking point, not the equipment you fly.

Ahh, my bad.

I heard 8/10 fail out of initial training. They had training at Flight Safety in St. Louis when I was there.

They probably go in with the attitude of; "They need me, they're desperate, I'm doing them a favor by working here."

I can keep a 50 knot overtake on an EMB until a 1/2 mile final in a 210 anyday!

Van_Hoolio · June 13th, 2007, 03:18

But your FOM probably doesn't require you to be configured and on target speed at 1000 feet either........

Heck no! I'm still flying clean at 1000 feet!

GlenWimpy · June 13th, 2007, 16:22

Do they fly props or jets ?

WestIndian425 · June 13th, 2007, 16:56

An 80% fail rate certainly isn't good for training. I have to say that even though the pilots for GoJets have become unionized, there appears to still be a bad stigma for having to join them (even if you unintentionally end up there, thinking you'd be with WaterSki).

"I can keep a 50 knot overtake on an EMB until a 1/2 mile final in a 210 anyday!"

You could probably do the same with a 757, but I wouldn't recommend it...

I know a few that were hired there with "significantly" less than 100 multi.
