CO Nov 19th Class

[145BOSS]

Does anyone know the aircraft breakdown of the November 19th class. I just got an e-mail yesterday asking if I wanted to move up to this class from a later class, just wanted to know what I was getting into.

Nov 19?

My sheet doesn't have Nov 19th (Sun) as a class start, but maybe they added one in there somewhere. Looks like the Nov. 14 class has 8 737 EWR and 8 756 EWR in its breakdown. I think they skip a week for the Thanksgiving break and then have 8 737 EWR, 4 737 IAH and 4 756 EWR in the Nov. 28 class. I'm sure it's all subject to change. Good luck.

An earlier start is an opportunity to move up several seniority numbers before you ever even hit the line... Take the class, you'll be happy you did. Good luck.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS take the earlier class!!!!!

Definately taking it, already confirmed the earlier slot. I think they added an additional class, in the e-mail asking if I wanted the earlier class it said that they were planning on hiring an additional 50 pilots by the end of 2006. Great time to be getting hired. I'm assuming that it will be the standard mix of 737 and 756s.

Had you told them before that you would volunteer for an earlier class? Thanks!

Starting on Sunday? Maybe they aren't taking a Turkey day? Although, the first week would end on Wednesday leaving time for turkey. I hope they do add annother class! Take it.

Yes, during my initial job accptance e-mail for my November 28th class I mentioned that I would be turning my two-week notice in early and would be willing to take an earlier class date.

Quick question for Cal guys. If the age 60 rule is changed, does anyone know how it would effect the current hiring spree? In other words is this hiring mainly for growth or to cover upcoming retirements? Thanks
