Jan 10

Yeah, but your an Express puke and don't count in the big scheme of things. Kidding. Glad to see ya on board. EWR 73 or EWR 75?

 

[ATRedneck]

I'm hoping for 737. I figure I can get back to IAH faster, plus I want the 737 type.

That, and with everything else being equal the first year, I may as well go for the junior airplane and have a better shot at the days off I want.

I absolutely can't wait for training to start... we have a newborn at home and I need to get to the hotel so I can sleep!

A free type rating so you can apply to SWA is always a good thing.

Except that I have no desire to fly for SWA. I'm thinking more of the value of a 737 type in the corporate world in the event of a furlough.

There aren't many corporate 737 gigs, but there are even fewer 757/767 gigs out there.

Although in the event of a furlough I'll probably just renew my electrical license and move some electrons around to pay the bills.



P.S. Love the avatar!

The new classes actually had 757 IAH. Good luck.

Interesting. Our esteemed MEC has not been updating the new hire pilot list except for name and dates. Would like to see what folks are being awarded as well as previous employer.

The 75/76 guys in my class were offered HOU before they finished training.

 

[SkyWestCRJPilot]

What about 737 in IAH? Anyone getting that before training ends?

No. It will probably be about 3-4 months or so.

[FLY CONTINENTAL]

In my class we were all on reserve 1 month and have lines now. Most lines or conversions are about 84-92 hours. Even the reserve month we all flew about 79-84 hours approx.

On New Years everyone was offered 150% to pick up trips.

WELCOME to Continental. You are going to have a great time. If you get EWR the flying is awesome.

Hey, you still flying that CRJ-700 for 50-seat pay?

SkyWest guys are always up to no good. LOL

How many of those guys have left for FEDEX or UPS?

No really, I heard CAL has lost a few fellows whilst in training to the more prominent freight operators, is that true?

 

[Crucianpilot]

I know of 2 that left right after training, one to UPS and one to FedEx. Fine with me, moves me up two numbers.

 

[FLY CONTINENTAL]

No one from my class has left but we had guys in class from AirTran and JetBlue

Nooooooo say it isnt so..........Someone left the blue ocean for CAL

 

[Crucianpilot]

Also had an ex jetblue guy in my class.

 

[Tanner]

What class dates are being assigned if you interviewed this week? Last I saw on the seniority list was Jan. 17. but that update was on 12-15-05.

Thanks

Not suprising at all.

 

[whymeworry?]

A friend of mine who is in trng at CAL on the 73 said one of his instructors told him the next 3 classes will be all B756.

 

[seahorse]

Also had an ex jetblue guy in my class.

Did he get sick of cleaning the airplanes?
