Way to be positive. Some folks out there might just be happy that they have an opportunity. If I could have afforded it, I would have been there. It's good equipment, challenging flying, and a way to cut your teeth in this industry. There are worse ways to earn a living and everybody who works there understands that.

[CFIT99]

i would do this in heartbeat (not to many loans, single)

dont' quite have the time 600/70 but will have over 1000 by spring time with the job I have now.

i think it would be one hell of an experience!

[taildragger173]

I interviewed with them on friday and got the call monday that I've been accepted for a class date. I'm pretty happy to have a job in the industry considering what is happening to the economy.

[CFIT99]

im betting that based on the comments about inside considerations and the minimums...they're pretty stricked with those?

[taildragger173]

If you know someone there and can have your resume walked in I think that they'll wave those minimums. I didnt quite have 50 hours of multi and it wasnt an issue.

They do... now Congrats on getting the Class date

[MFT1Air]

Have a friend working there. They understood the challenges of "initial entry" and they accepted those challenges.

It's a start; it's a good start.

[JrsyGuy]

Anybody want to give me a Christmas present and walk my resume in?

Have to at least ask...

[fletchersteel]

I don't work there, but there is another forum for lakers.

Why do you have to be 21? At 18 I'm more mature than some friends in their late 20s.

Because they will expect you to upgrade within 2 years. There were guys that started there and went through upgrade in less than a year when I was tossing bags and working on my CFI. It's not a matter of maturity as much as it is a requirement for the regulation to get your ATP certificate.

6 months ago that was a completely valid statement. Glad it still is for some of us, though.

Not really. I dunno, there's a glass ceiling for young people in aviation that the rest of the world doesn't have, and frankly, its ########. If I'm safe enough to be an ATP in Canada why aren't I safe enough to be an ATP in the U.S.? Is Canada a dangerous place to ride on airplane? Ehhhhhh nope. Its the arbitrariness that sucks. To combat this, in the old days, the FAA had a program of issuing a "Letter of Aeronautical Competency" which could be turned in on your 23 birthday for a full fledged ATP, and allowed you to at least meet the insurance requirements so you could get a decent job. I called the FSDO when I broke 1500TT and had ATP mins a few months ago, and they practically laughed at me, "heh, we haven't done that since the late 80's, I don't even know if we have the forms anymore." Lame.

You know what's funny? $25 is cheap. Heck, I offered a guy $1000 if he'd walk my resume in and I was given a job with a regional. No joke. I'd make that offer again. RICHARD5, up it... I think you can get it.
PS... what's your address? I'm making my check now. What a sick, disgusting industry. Love it.

Anybody willing to help a brother out and PM me and see if you could walk my resume in?
