Roll up! Roll up!

The minimum requirements are as follows

1500tt (flexible if you have good multi)
250me (fair bit of pic in that)
100 IF (the more the better)

A few people on the books with that sort of time. May not be around when the call come thought so in the future these requirements may drop.

In return for working on the mighty 31/32 you get a handsome salary of $28K ($29K if you have all your ATPLS) no rises in pay untill you get a command or reassigned to a different aircraft. Crappy allowances. No seniority and the threat of it all going tits up on you. The company has no obligation to give you a command. Ever. The contract is for a co-pilot.
The conditions are constantly erroding.
At the last union talks the best offer the company could do for its pilots was a $20 (yes, twenty dollars and no cents) a month pay rise, the generosity was overwhelming. And it took the negotiation team 9 months to get that.
The bosses sat down when things were looking bad and told us all that staying here was the best thing to do, please don't apply for other airlines this is a great place to work bla bla bla and then they all ran off and had interveiws with Pac Blue. Nice one.
Sounds like you? Fill ya boots! Nelson Rocks! Great guys to work with.
