[BushwickBill]

Anybody from last week get the call? I'm considering calling Friday just to check in. I dont want to bother them but I think it may be good to show interest. (damn dude its not a date...) Anyhow what do you think?

I interviewed last week and have heard nothing aswell! Seems like the new hires are usually called the next day or so. Looks like a letter will be arriving unfortunately, I beleive the majority of responses in form of a letter are not good ones What day did you interview? I was on Thursday, 26th.

letter or call

I am in training now, I got a call the next day and a letter inviting me to class a few days later..... however, my roomate only got a letter inviting him to class several days after the interview..... so don't worry just yet..... give'em a call and find out what's up..... but be ready for 11 - 12 hour class days going from noon to midnight to start..... takes a little getting used to, but you stay busy!!!

Not saying I wasn't positive. Just a little disapointed. I just finished my year end taxes. About 13,000 this year. I live in the most expensive part of California. This would have been a good thing for me. Now I'm waiting for the letter with the rembursment for my airline ticket.

Probably none of my business but I'm sure it would help out a lot of folks here if you guys could elaborate on why Airnet would not hire you right away.
What's the possibility of many disgruntled regional airline guys swamping airnet with higher qualification resumes in their rush to get out of the regionals?

if by higher qualifications you mean "did zero handflying in a glass cockpit the last two years and would never make it out of training"....no, i don't think we get many apps from disgruntled airline guys. But it would be fun to watch them crash repeatedly in the sim.

Amazing the stuff I learn asking certain questions. How 'bout these glass cockpits? Why would someone be O.K. with letting the plane always fly its' own approaches. I can hardly stand the lack of flying as a CFI. Honestly, do pilots really let their IMC hand flying go to schit by always using auto pilot? I don't know if I believe that. Why would there be more of a tendency to fly auto pilot with a glass cockpit as opposed to auto pilot flying GPS approaches in a standard cockpit?

mcjohn...I hand flew EVERY approach during my 5 and 1/2 years with Airnet, and i was glad i did(except for the required coupled approaches during checkrides). I got pretty good at it, and it really isn't that hard. Sure flying down to 100vv and 1800 RVR sounds pretty hard when you are still young to the industry, but after you do it a few hundred times it sems a little easier...not saying it is a walk in the park or anything, but it does become easier. Now i am learning how when the weather is below a certain RVR or ceiling that i MUST use the autopilot to fly the approach, and even use the autoland if it goes a little further down. What this means is that i will probably never hand fly a really low approach again, dissapointing yes, but i MUST fly the way the company tells me to. I kinda fear that my experience flying those kind of approaches is going to go downhill pretty quick, and that really is something i wish i didn't have to do...but again, I fly the way they tell me to, just like i flew the way Airnet taught me to while i was there.
