I agree, no Capts got the call, however 2 lowtime FO's did

for what it's worth most of the guys i saw interviewing were captains. and how do i know that you ask? cause they were wearing their uniforms of course haha :laugh:

 

[CavePilot]

Anyone get a call yet that interviewed last week?

 

[mordi]

?? Any Word ??

 

[DwayneWorthless]

I know two guys that interviewed last week. Neither has heard anything since. Both CA's at Large Regionals.

Looks like they still have the app window open on the website. Anyone know or hear how many qualified resumes they received?

Nope, SWA and Delta are not good enough either, haven't you heard? The only job worth having is FedEx. Hold out for it even if you have to bus tables in the meantime. Don't ever settle.

The only good jobs are Pan AM, Eastern, and Braniff. Anything else is a bottom feeder.

Don't be an ass. You know TWA is on that list as well.

I assume the open positions will be bid/filled on by guys just starting class now and newhires who will start soon.

Flew with a guy in the 190 Training Department yesterday and he said that new hires will go to Group 2 to fill those positions.

 

[Dornier 335]

Which new hires are we talking about? I finished a trip with a guy from the training department yesterday and he said the new hires presented in last week's issue of AboutUS are going to the 190. Previous rumors had it that they would go to group 2.

I'm thinking the next class or two of new hires will go to the 190. This is because there is about 10-15 pilots yet from the july bid who were awarded the airbus and are being held because the 190 is short on fo's. As these new hires hit the line, the previously awarded from july bid will be released and new hires will back fill onto the 190. Once the cycle is completed the last 20 or so new hires will likely fill the last remaining group 2 positions that were on this sept bid. Just my take on how this will play out.....

 

[Tweaker]

I agree with the above assessment.

 

[mordi]

No calls have gone out yet. Guys that interviewed these last two weeks might hear something by the end of this week. Word is they wanted to get all the interviews done first.

Not too sure about that. The Airbus is VERY understaffed. They run out of FO's almost every day without exception. I have worked every reserve day this month as an S reserve in CLT. There are some days they run out before 8am... I'm not saying they aren't short on the 190, but I would think if the company had to cancel flights due to crew shortages, I would think they would want the larger planes to go that are carrying more revenue. Either way, we need pilots...

rough count, 14 openings on 190 in phl 14 on 320 in dc, and 2 320 in clt and 3 320 phl.
