FYI for those intrested:
Latest rumor, although it sounds like it's a sure thing, is that AirTran will not be hiring at all for the remainder of '02. Increased DC9 retirements and the resulting backlog of 717 sim time was given as the reason.
Alot of posts have asked about competitive qualifications. The lowest time guy I've sopke to lately got hired in Dec '01 with 3500TT a J32 type and 1.5 yrs of PIC 121 time at a regional. Alot of recent newhires have at least one jet type (737,747, DC8, DC10, CRJ etc) and came from places like Midway, Emery, World, and 1 or 2 from UsAir and America West. A recomendation is almost a requirement.
I hope this helps those intrested.
Happy flying.
