[SkywayFO]

Me too!!

July the 16th interview, Still waiting, I called last week and they never called back.

Has anyone received a letter of acceptance?

 

[Twotter76]

No letter but I got just a call with a class date so that works for me!

EDIT: Figures as soon as I posted this I went out and got the mail and there was a fedex packet with the newhire stuff. And a conditional offer letter.

Twotter76-

When did you interview?

I saw a list of new hires by Dean Hess's door last week. There are 80 pilots for the month of Sept. Also for those who have not recieved a letter from Employee Services, don't worry. If you were given a class date show up for that. Now your first night there you have a couple of options. One is you can stay at Holiday Inn for $59. Or if you can call the Suite Tower Place next to Hamiton Inn runs $59. That one has a ketchen and fold out bed. I knew 3 guys stayed there and went home on weekends. That is not too bad, but there are crashpads for 200 dollars up to 350 a month.

Hey Twotter

Just wondering what AC I am guessing the DO Jet with the Friday start. This is good news I was on the interviewed on the 16th so I should not be far behind.

 

[Twotter76]

I believe only the J-41 training starts on fridays. I think the CRJ and FRJ alternate on mondays. I know I am starting on a friday for the J-41...

 

[C-5 MEM]

Your correct 76, the J41 class starts on Friday.

Thanks for the info Twotter. I interviewed 7/19 - can't wait to find out the class date! Then I can finally change my name from "Hosed COEX" to something more positive.

For what it's worth, a friend of mine who flies for ACA said there are two CRJ classes, two 328 classes, and one J41 class scheduled for the month of September. 80 pilots in a month - wow - that's a lot.

Guys-
I got Dean on the phone last Friday and he said that by next week(8/12)we will know our class and equipment dates!!!!

I can't wait!!!

Looking at the numbers from our most recent manpower report I can comfirm that up to and including the 5/27/02 class we've hired 150. Of course from then to now we've added at least another 100. Sounds like those early projection of 400 this year might not be far off. Look for weekly CRJ classes starting in the new year. For those who got in already, you'll have people below you before you know it. Good Luck to all those interviewing!

 

[SkywayFO]

I also finally got Dean on the Phone and I second the classes should be figured out by Tuesday he hoped. Good luck all!!

Has anyone

 

[SkywayFO]

Do they place guys in class relitive to interview date, any one know?

I was just wondering I was a few days after Twotter, the 16th so should I assume not to much longer for a class like the first week or two of the month, or is there no pattern to it?

 

[Twotter76]

Seems to be all over the place. One guy that I interviewed with was offered a class on the 5th of this month for the CRJ and then you have me at the end of the month. Read into this whatever you will, I dont know what it means.
