Duck Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I highly doubt that. They are still a 135 unit. Yeah... In Tampa Bay... with Orlando being a crew base just 2 hours away...Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Boy Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I highly doubt that. They are still a 135 unit. A 135 unit in an awesome location and with a mission thatβll have you airline ready much faster than many other units!

Duck Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Iβm in a 135 unit that doesnβt even advertise our boards because it just gets stupid. Maybe not as nice as Tampa but within a 2 hour drive to a hub for every major airline. I can easily see 200 apps flooding in to Tampa.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app Last time I spoke with themΒ (yesterday) they told me they receivedΒ a good amount of apps but no where near 200. If the airlines are your goal then the 135 works but at the end of the day the mission is not all exiting at least for me.Β Which could be a good thing for some. You will find the most chill group of pilots in the 135 community tho.Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten30Seven Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Yeah 200 is really high, but that's what I remember them saying. One thing to consider is the "application" was just emailing them a resume, so there was a pretty low barrier to entry. No need to assemble the usual items like cover letter, letters of recommendation, transcripts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete apps where a different story. But yea tons of resumes. Great unit btw.Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
