    Hi everyone. I am a C-130H pilot looking to see if anyone knew of any regional airlines with a short training backlog. I finally have the hours for my R-ATP but it seems that every airline I’ve got in contact with doesn’t have class dates for FOs for 4-6 months. If anyone knows of any regional airlines not this way I’m all ears. I’m also interested in Part 135 operations in the southeast. I’m looking to get started asap.

    Air Wisconsin is taking people and putting them in classes right away (last I heard). So if you want 121 time that would be a good option. But, you will take a pay hit from $90 (roughly new regional standard) to near $60 for them. Envoy will put you through ATP immediately but then it could be a month maybe two waiting for an indoc date. Only then will you be assigned a class date and training schedule. You are roughly looking at 4-5 months for off the street hire. But the extra couple months earns you $30 an hour more and a flow to AA if you are into that. If you got any questions regarding Envoy let me know. For other regionals I can ask around and get an answer back to you!
