Why only 7 days?

Why only 7 days?

Because for the last 5 years or so they have had enough applicants after 48 hours to fill every interview and pool spot they have. From what I have heard (rumor of course) there computer system typically shuts down accepting applications internally after 3-4 days do to the amount of applications they get. I have a feeling things will change once all the legacy airlines are hiring in full swing. For now you officially get 7 days.

But, how can that be since the job is so terrible?

Do we have to re-apply if we applied during last window? Why do they recieve so many applications, i would think most regional guys, mainly FO's, would stick around to get that upgrade at their current company since Jetblue upgrades are non-existant. That 1,000 hours of turbine PIC is a good thing to have, i just hit that mark at my charter gig and i am looking to get out (cr@ppy schedule). I don't mind hanging out in right seat for awile now that i have that time in my back pocket.

Improvements need to be made. That being said, why don't we leave the union discussion to the other threads.

Nobody said the job is terrible, just the benefits.

A large chunk of our applications come from regional airlines, which are 10x worse conditions than the rest of the industry.

I would re-update your application during the window just to show you are still interested.

Are they hiring into the A320 and the E190? How is class seniority determined?

Yes. Oldest guy goes first and gets his choice of what's avail. for that specific class...base and equip.

Seniority in the class goes by age. Old geezer is number 1. Young pup is at the bottom.

Pretty sure the aircraft you get is determined after you get to training.

E190 or A320's ?

 

[Mad Dog 80]

Thanks for the seniority information.
