ATA cancels 1 Mar 04 class

[Sensei]

Just got an e-mail that ATA cancelled the 1 Mar 04 class. I thought I was gonna fly something pretty--and my last flight in the big gray thing is tomorrow. I'd like a shot of Hemlock--make that a double.

Hope that's not true. I just talked to a buddy who'll be in that class and he didn't say anything about it being cancelled. Just got off the phone with him. He just quit his job today. Hope that email is just somebody messing with ya...

The infoline from yesterday said that we are now only getting 1 new 757 this year. Chief Pilot said it "might" affect hiring. No mention of cancelling classes. Still supposed to hire 140 this year.

Sorry, I guess it's official. I just talked to my bud and he got the call today. Hopefully this is just a pushback a few weeks and nothing more.

I was in Indy yesterday and was told that all classes have been cancelled for the rest of the year. The upgrade bid that was supposed to come out has also been cancelled. Was also told there would be a "reduction in some selected flying." There was supposed to be a special message from the chief pilot recorded last night about all this.

What's really sad is Jahn Graber left a message to call him yeaterday. Needless to say I didn't get in touch with him because I had my fini flight (sob!) in the 135. On an ironic note, today I got the package in the mail that old me what to bring for the ATA 1 March class. I've already had 2 7 & 7s--okay 13 & 1s the way I mix. I think I can mix a few more before I pass out.
Calgon take me away!!!

I think what is important here is that you are proving you have what it takes to be an airline pilot by drinking yourself into oblivion over bad news. Presumably, you drank yourself into oblivion when you got the original good news, thus completing the whole package. It sucks you got screwed over by an airline before you even showed up. That normally takes at least a year. Sorry about your bad luck. I hope something good turns up soon.

An excuse to drink can't be all that bad.

Skater, do I know you? I'm pretty sure you are my hero! Just make sure your priorities are straight.

Sensi -- well now it is Sunday AM and if you did have a hard night, good on ya. Sorry to hear they pushed you to the right. My app came this week and I was really pushing to get it done ... now I wonder what to think. I'll still send it in, but some of the "fever" is gone. Get hammered again tonight, then get over it, and wait like the rest of us. I'm sure they will come through -- You are way ahead of me! Give Wild Turkey and Water a try (easy on the H2O). Good luck

Good morning everyone,
Just one question--did anyone get the license tag of the elephant that ran me over and then s#@t in my mouth?
