I am a British Citizen living and working in the USA currently flying as a CRJ FO for ASA. If you have any questions about the company post them here of email me drectly and I will do what I can to help.
ASA are currently hiring about 55 pilots a month for at least the rest of the year. There are currently 1000+- on the seniority list and the training department has been told that there should be approx 1500 by the end of the year - so now is definitely a good time to get on.
I was hired as an FO on the CRJ and have been told to expect an 18month to two year upgrade. Starting pay is about $18000 plus per diem and you should make $32000 plus per diem second year. The company got rid of Pay for Training and now pays for a hotel room and salary from day one. We also get travel benefits on Delta after 30 days and the ability to jumpseat immediately.
I hope this helps.
