Congrats to all the AK pilots and newhires. Nice to hear of hiring at Majors for a change rather than furloughs.

 

[Hpilot]

That's great news! I hope their servers don't crash from all of the apps.

HR requested we tell our peeps they have the whole week to apply, it doesn't have to be the first day.

Good luck with that dream.

 

[Orionpilot]

Any idea how many pilots are forecasted to be hired?

 

[wscrj]

65-ish for the remainder of this year.

How much Space Shuttle time do I need and how much of it must be with the vehicle inverted?

So there is no way to update my app? I have to do the whole thing again? Is this correct?

 

[BarbrPole2theOM]

That is correct.

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

And don't screw up. One misclick and it's game over.

No you don't have to do the whole thing over. All the info from last time is saved you just need to update resume and answer the questions. Took me 5 min to do.

Is there no way to upload a Word version of your resume? It will only let me cut and paste into a text box. Anyone else having this problem?

 

[golden]

Yes..had the same problem.

 

[J3guy]

Same problem here to, I guess i'll just update my current resume. It's format looks messed up though, and i hate to try to fix it if its just a matter of the way i'm viewing it. Good luck to all

Do you get a confirmation email once you finish the application? Because I didn't get one. Kind of ended anti-climactically. The list of questions and the how did you hear about us question is the end of it, right?

Confirmation email sent right away. Check your spam folder?

Will they notify you either way...or only send out interview invitations and keep the rest waiting in vain?
