That is a little strange. DCI has 54 700's on order, and Comair is getting around half of them. Is this a company you pay money too?
I would be a little suspicious.

Yes -- this is AEPS -- large agaency that holds most of the career fairs around the nation. It is interesting. The last time that I spoke to pilot rec., I was told that no new hires this year due the replacement of 120 with jets and that they would be training those guys... Now, today, this comes out from AEPS -- ?????

 

[Data]

It's stale news, Loretta Boyd isn't in recruitment any more, Julie Ellis is back in there. It's just a job posting to attract attention to AEPS' job postings site.

These guys are morons. They rarely have accurate information. They just want you to send them money. Who needs an application service when no one is hiring? (Those that are hiring now don't use AEPs anyway.) It is a load of dung. Save your money.

 

[hotwing]

ok - so what is the answer -- are they hiring or not? We all know what they are, but that is not what I was curious about... what is going on with their hiring? are they hring or not?

Here is another one for you...

She's not much to look at, but at least she's got a job to keep her busy.

What's ironic about this article is that it's still available at their site and they are definitely advertising career building materials for SALE. Spose If I buy something from them I'll get an interview at jet blue?

Plain and simple: NO

For now!

Things will change, I'd bet in Vegas on it.

Agreed. ASA has no plans to hire in the forseeable future. We have a large pool and the poolies are being told not to expect word until late Fall '03.
AEPS is probably using this to boost applications sice they make money from doing such. IMO, it's a scam since ASA mostly hires directly anyhow, instead of going through AEPS. At ASA we get enough resumes directly not to have to use such services.
Save your money. It's bogus.

AEPS

I tried AEPS for about a month before cancelling it. I recall getting a few posts for jobs, mostly for G-V or Global Express captains. fabulously useful when you're flying a Lear 25. I heard a rumour a while back that they'd gone bankrupt. Only reference I can find for it now is on Air Inc.'s site...
