4-6-05 Mesaba Interviews

[Mysteryofflight]

2 were hired from 4/7/2005 one was ex-helicopter ( army? ) and the other has @ 175 multi, both got the call after 5 pm on 5/13/2005, both for starting class on 5/2/2005, maybe they are saving us hot shots for the crj's???

that would be fine... I just would like them to officially inform me of that.

Has anyone else been called yet...why just 2 calls so far?

 

[ClippedWings]

I'm guessing mr. 175 multi knew someone on the inside. Because there was a whole bunch of experienced pilots on 04-06-05. Coporate, Freight, Airline, High time cfi's.

I'll be happy just swimming in the june pool. (if there is one)

They interviewed around 50 last week for less than 20 slots, so not everyone is gonna get called. Good Luck.

 

[ClippedWings]

is it normal to interview 50 for 18 slots? What if there was more than 18 qualified pilots?

 

[88_MALIBU]

Pool maybe? Not sure...

 

[Towelie]

They usually interview at a 2:1 ratio. If they want to hire 20, they plan on interviewing 40. Sometimes they hire more than that, sometimes less. Just the way it goes.

And our play by play continues.... I still think there are alot of people out there that are yet to be called. Is it a good idea to follow up with a polite phone call to HR? They did after all tell us it would be "quick?" I guess that its not going to seem quick when you are waiting for a call from a job that you really want. I will say that the posts on www.aviationinterviews.com are making me sweat a bit. Like the others I would be more than happy to be put in a pool. Thanks everyone for posting!
