Received the call on Friday the 25th for a November 11th class! Hiring sounds strong through next year and possibly continuing with the Airtran deal. Any other Oct 24th candidates get the call??

Just looked at the training schedule for the RJ and FYI they are saying 13 RJ training slots for those starting 11/11. RJ systems etc. start DEN 11/25 for those starting 11/11. Good luck.

Oct 28 class breakdown

In the class that started on Oct. 28 the unofficial breakdown is 13 RJ's and 5 D328's. Should find out tomorrow for sure, but right now that's how it stands. They've told us all that the RJ's go to ATL and the 328's go to DEN.

The experience level is quite high. The lowest flight time is 2400 hrs. and the highest is 11000. The average is probably around 3000+ hrs. Mostly 121 experience. Only 3 with 135 experience. Nobody with just 91 experience. Great company!! I wish I'd have applied here years ago!

I saw the CL-65 yesterday and he said that someone was on the way to pick up two more Midway CRJ's.

Air Wis prior to 9/11 would hire a few without turbine time..But now they are currently hiring all current and prior 121 applicants. I have my resume walked in with 2 letters, 2300tt but only 100 turbine and prior 135 but no 121 and can't get an interview.

Yes but they look to see if you resign any seniority from your furloughed company. Looking for those who will stay for some time and not just eat up resources and then leave.

Hi!

They have hired -135 lately, but have always hired a lot of 121 pilots.

Ok...would three to four years be long enough? Because that's how long it will likely be before many of us climb out of the hole...

Rottweiler,

You mentioned you had seen the training schedule for the 11/11 class. Any word yet on what a/c will be offered on the 11/25 class? Thanks,

Training schedules won't be out until nearly month end for December. If you are starting at the end of this month you may find that you won't start systems in December due to Christmas and New Year. Don't worry though because even if you get a break of 2-3 weeks until January you still get paid 75 hours a month

When I see something I'll let you know.

They may (read probably) would ask you to resign seniority. It's their call. There are still quite a few pilots with 121, 135 experience who don't have furlough rights looking for a position.

 

[jimbo]

The Oct 28 class has changed aircraft assignments. On Thurs morning everyone was told they were going to the Rj in ATL. Rumors are heavy they are getting ride of the Dork.

10/28 class

The fleet manager for the CRJ came into class this past Friday and said everyone was going to the CRJ in ATL.

 

[Menace]

redundant

Oh, sorry Jimbo, for some reason I didn't see your posting until after I sent mine.

It's late and I'm tired.
Also, I'll bet I can guess who you are in class.

The company has been trying to get rid of the 328's for some time but the problem was that the final ten had long term lease's and unless we could unload them all at once for more jets it wasn't worth it. I have two of my buddies in class with you guys now but it's important that you all work as a team to be successful. Lakers, forget that crap way of training you learned over there, Voss is not here and this company does care about it's pilots... All that said, welcome to AWAC.

Hey, Wiskey Driver since I am pretty sure you did not come from lakes and therefore would not know anything about their training then maybe you should not be telling these folks to forget about something you know nothing about.

I would say to all you Lakers, remember what you learned from lakes and approach your training here the same way and you will be very well prepared. One reason why this company likes lakers is because they are usually easily trained. Wiskey driver is correct about one thing the company will treat you well.

Vairiable Operations System Slowdown (I think that's what it was called) AWSOME....

 

[Wiskey Driver]

I only speak on things that I know about!!! Been there didn't stay went to TSA where the training was just as bad. Now for some more info for you since you seem to think that I am sooo uninformed on lakes. Several friends there now and several that I have helped get hired here, several in my class all say the same thing lakes training is the worst. Sure if you can get thru that BS you can make it anywhere and that's why AWAC likes them. Next time you feel like you want to challenge me in open forum make sure that you have all the facts...
