No call here either.
I just spoke with a friend that is in training now, he said today that he had heard the Dec. class is cancelled.
I also spoke to a designated examiner at my work who is a Brasilia ground school teacher and said he didnt see how they could do a Dec. class because they are swamped.

Dec 9th class
Hey KFpilot,
Congrats! I called my voicemail as soon as I saw the post, but did not have the call. Then I spoke with Capt. Boyd to check in and they had already filled the class with 20 people for 20 slots.
She was very nice as always,and gave some good info on the future which pretty much is the same stuff we have all been talking about. Hiring is on hold till the pool is drained a bit with future classes. She says about 80 people in the pool, about 3 classes worth depending on size of class of course.
She also stated that this class date was determined yesterday and she was surprised.
I am curious about when you interviewed(date). She said that they had some poolies left over from july that they wanted to call first for this class.

Spoke with Joe...
Hey all...
Figured I'd add what I know here although I'm not sure its anything new...
Just got off the phone with Joe the intern. They had called me because they needed some more paperwork from me. Someone way back before I interviewed had told me that those consent forms you need to sign so past employers can release your records only applied to past 121/135 jobs. Turns out they needed one for an old flight instructing job I had too. Also...be sure your medical is up to date. Mine reverted to a second class and they want an updated one.
As Medeco said, Dec. 9th class is filled already. No more classes in December due to the holidays. Hiring is stopped for now although Joe said they may resume interviewing in January. He also was a little iffy about there being a January class...he said he thought there probably would be but he couldn't give me a date or even a 100% assurance that there would even BE a January class. He asked when I interviewed (beginning of October) and said that if there was a January class I would probably be in it. He's either real friendly or he has gone to Crew Scheduler school (tell pilots what they want to hear so you can get them off the phone...haha)
Anyway, that's the latest. Stand by for more changes....

I interviewed on Oct 10-11th.
I have heard that they have no reasoning behind who gets picked. One guy that interviewed with me, started in the Nov 4th class along with someone from June.
I would definately make sure they know that you can be called short notice..(if you can).. It seems that every class has a few no shows and they call people that Moday to start the next day. Hang in there...I know it isn't easy.

Dec. 9th class
Hey guys,
Well, All I can say is wow, and persistance pays.
After my post this morning. I went about work thinking I will be waiting for a call in Jan.
Well about 5pm I got a call on the radio in the plane saying I needed to come in and take a call, it was ASA. Turns out a original person selected for the class was unreachable, and since I had simply called to check-in and say I was available short notice, I suppose I was on there mind to call.
And now I am in the Dec. 9th class.
Yessssssssss!!!!!
This of course is not to rub it in, just to give insight for future classes and strategy.
Its only been six weeks since the interview, and I called about 3 weeks apart just to check in and say I am here.
Good luck to all, and I will update as I can.
Kfpilot I will see yah there!

You're kidding, right? 16 hours a day? Maybe if you're on the Brasilia. They were the only ones I saw studying a lot from my class. I don't know if we were all a bunch of slackers on the jet but it wasn't that hard and we all made it through without too much trouble.
It's definitely work but the training dept is good and the jet at least is pretty "pilot proof".
Congrats to everyone in class. As 79%N1 said, Keep 'em coming!
Dec. 9th class
Update for those who care about class assignments at ASA.
The Dec. 9th class has 20 people in it.
The available slots were:
10 FO CRJ200 DFW
10 FO CRJ700 DFW
Of course the surprise is the 70 seater openings, but it seems that knowone is bidding the 70 because the lines are not so good, therefore the leftover goes to the newhire class.It has its good and bad sides, but I am not complaining in the least.

The props (E-120) are going away, first in ATL by April 2003, then later in DFW. I doubt they will have any more E-120 classes as people are slowly being displaced from the E-120 to other aircraft types, or to the E-120 in DFW (until it also goes away).
There will still be ATR classes from time to time, but a lot of the displaced EMB guys are moving to the ATR rather than the jet.

Props/class
Hey,
We found out today that they will have a class in January, I do not remember the date but I believe it will be early Jan.
When seats open up and knowone bids for them by a certain date then the leftover goes to newhire classes.
I do not agree with sleepy's statement of no new classes on the EMB120, but I could be wrong.I think there my be one or two more classes bases on the planes "current" life expectancy.Bottom line is the plane will be gone by 04.
Dallas is were the growth is so most ,but not all new hire classes will go to DFW, once the CRJ700 lines are well established things with start moving around in terms of bidding from the senior guys.
With the new 49% deal with DAL things are going to change even more.
We were also informed that the 700 guys will be pushed through ASAP because of need, even though the effective date for the 70 FO in DFW was 4/1/03, they said they will reserve in ATL till then.The RJ200 guys will be delayed in training because of a backup in the sim. I hope that gives me more time to get up to speed on things.
Hope the info help you poolies out some.

I don't think there will be anymore E-120 classes for ATL. I doubt if DFW will get any either, but who knows. They are letting E-120 guys go to other aircraft as they retire aircraft (and paying a lot of them bypass pay).
I don't know how they do the per diem now. When I went through I was DFW based and got 24/7 per diem, except on weekends, holidays, and when we had a break in training. Best thing is to ask one of the pay people in the GO.

Re: 49% deal?
I am still learning so I am sure to be corrected if wrong. I think the DAL contract says if more than 4 months of loss then the scope can grow from x % to a larger % that DAL is allowed to outsource to and not be required to use mainline planes.
In general I thinks this is right.
