Just curious how often interviews are being conducted and if anybody has a firm date scheduled in the near future?
Thanks In Advance

Not sure what the interview schedule is but the classes are running every 3 weeks. Classes have anywhere from 7 to 15 people in each. Next class starts on 8/28. Including the 8/28 class we should be hiring another 60-80 pilot this year. Next year the hiring is really going to ramp up.. Once the 737 training starts we will have twice as many people in the training cycle at any one time which will help the hiring.

hope this helps

DC-9,

Do you know if the Aug. 28 class is full yet? Also, when do you think the 73 training is going to start? Thanks for the info.

Re: airtran

I just came from the training center, and was talking to the newly appointed (he got his confirmation memo by fax from the VP of Flt Ops as I was talking to him) 737 Program Manager, and he said that the instructors and initial cadre of 737 pilots would begin training probably in January. All subject to change, understand. But, that's the word as of today.

I am sure this has been covered, but who flies the bus for you? Is that going to go away when the 737s come on line?

BTW Aug 26 Interview date, with sim prep on the 25th if any one wants to share. I know there are interviews on 9 Sep as well.

Ryan International flies the A-320s; and yes, the wet-lease will go away once the 737s come on line.
