ATA interview results & nxt intvw dates

[Race Pilot]

FNG,

I haven't heard anything on new classes but if/when I do I will post them here right away. From a note a friend of mine there sent:

Just a few tidbits from rumor control:
hear now that we're going to hire 60-80 more pilots
there's going to be about 40 more CA upgrades
(hurrah!)
bid will be out in mid-October and effective in January
(cause all the training slots are filled 'till then)

So if all the training slots are filled until January they must have more classes lined up. So there is hope!

do you have a lot of intnational experience?

 

[George Zip]

Yes, but only in this hemisphere. A lot of Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America. I haven't done the rest of the world. One of the things I really wanted in ATA was the wierd places they send those L 10's to. I love that kind of stuff.

Congats. I just joined the pool Friday. Any word on any other class dates?

 

[sayagain?]

An L1011 and 737 class start on Moday.

I had heard that they were trying for another class in late October or early November. I'm sure that Race Pilot or I will post something if we hear anything during groundschool. Good Luck.

sayagain?
