ACA Question

[TexasFurloughed]

Curious for anyone in the know....

I was under the impression that ACA required seniority resignation, but I read on aviationinterviews that a Delta furloughee got hired there (that's what he listed in the interview gougue anyway). So does anyone know the real answer to this? Is a training contract required?


Thanks in advance.....

We had a pilot from Eagle who did not have to resign his number from Eagle. Where are you furloughed from?

Thanks for the quick reply....

I'm another Delta furloughee. Miss flying and looking to go back to work at any office that has wings. I'm gonna wait awhile (few years anyway) before I give up my Delta number, but really don't mind where or what I fly in the meantime.

Anyway, I guess part 2 of the question, do they make those with numbers at a major resign? Well, I'm going to the Air Inc fair this weekend and planned on asking anyway, but was hoping to have an idea before I talk to their recruiter.

Thanks again...

I don't think they would ask you to resign your number, but then I would say not to bring it up that often. Kurt a buddy of mine from American went through and did not say too much about american. He did say in the interview though he would resign, but when he got to class there was nothing ever mentioned about it and even today he has not resigned.

Another question...

For those that have interviewed with ACA, what has been the average wait time to get a response of "welcome abord"?

tach32:

Took eight days for me.

ACA callback

ACA took nine days to let me know I was in. A guy I interviewed with got a rejection letter within 3 days.

Not that long ago if they hired you, they called you the morning after the interview, so I was sweating for a few days...

Thanks for the info guys, I interviewed on the 9th and am still waiting. I guess the sniper attacks and a holiday aren't helping my situation.

I interviewed 9/23 and got the call 9/25. I have everything from the next day to 15 days.

I promise my english is not that bad. I just got trigger happy with my mouse.

 

[furloughed]

I am a major furloughed pilot waiting for class (UAL) and the subject of seniority resignation never came upi n the interview. I interviewed in August and was recently told it could be early next year before I am in class.

Texas,

Why don't you try ASA? I've heard they will hire furloughed Delta folks and don't require resignation of seniority. Plus, they do have a Dallas base.

I've sent them a resume the last three months and have yet to hear anything back.... I'd love to work there but am looking for other companies as well to keep my options open. Thanks though...

ACA Poolies

For those of you waiting for class dates at ACA, I saw the poolie folders in three piles that totals about two feet tall next to Dean's desk....Once you have waited a month after you got call, get a hold of Dean to see if there is any progress. It takes about two to three months after you get the call to get a date. It seems like once you contact them, they stick you in a upcomming class out of the blue. It is all random. I moved three different times before a final date was given. I have two pilots in my FRJ class. ACA is slowing the hiring down so if you are waiting - be glad your IN and not looking! It is worth the wait. ACA is Awesome!

United is cuting capacity by 12%, ACA and other United Express Carriers are picking these routes up for United. It is bad and good at the same time.

Tooslow,

ACA is slowing down their hiring? By how much? I was under the impression that they look to hire about 300 pilots next year.

 

[Tooslow]

ACA

They are still looking at 300 or so next year, but they have filled classes through the first quarter already. Shawn said they don't want to back up the training department. We can only train so many at at a time.

Letter

ACA has slowed down the hiring! There were 8 candidates in my interview selection and all of us got a letter. We interviewed in early October and got the letter 2.5 weeks later (all of us).

Qualified, yes. A lot (5) were furloughed 121 (Coex, Eagle, Mesaba), (1) 135 guy, (1) 91 female, and a Riddle CFII.

I was told by a senior line captain that reapply in April or so would be a better time since there were so many people awaiting class dates.

Hope this helps!

Did anyone/everyone have someone walk in their Resumes? LORs? It would figure now that I have the time and the above they aren't hiring.

That is true! Shawn said that they are only considering walk in or referals at this time. These walked in resumes and referals also need to have at least 2,000 to 3,000 hours. They are slowing DOWN! They have 80 or so in the pool. An additional 300 will be hired in 2003.
