CAL interview - how long to find out?

[CAL EWR B737]

Wow that was fast. Doug's a great guy. Heard from the EWR CPO that due to hotel room shortages in IAH INDOC will be in Newark for several weeks. If you get the 737 look forward to flying with you. If you get the 757 hope you enjoy dead heading in coach

 

[ACWild]

AAGGHH!!! No more deadheading! I've got more time in the back than the front at NAA.
I've heard that the evacuees have taken all of the available rooms in Houston, but my e-mail says that I'm going to the Marriott there. KD said that I'm one of the "old guys" of the bunch, so I suspect I'll pick the 73. I looked over my shoulder when he said that. When did I become the "old guy?":erm:

 

[pkober]

That's true. My class, 4 Oct, and the next 2 will do basic indoc at Newark. It's only two weeks and who cares you still have your senority number.

CLAMBAKE

 

[CAL EWR B737]

Nothing wrong with doing INDOC in Newark. I wish I could do all my training in EWR VS MECCA! Be sure to vist the crew room and introduce yourself and get any questions answered. Newark has great pilots and is a great base. If you and your classmates go out check the Ironbound in Newark for great Portuguese food.

Hey y'all I'm startin on the 18th. Got the official word today that indoc will be in EWR cuz of the hotel situation in IAH (My original iternerary was for Marriot in IAH as well). I figure, being 30 flat, that I'll fall towards the bottom of the class for seniority.

BUT I DON'T CARE!! (because I probably won't have much choice what I get in class) SO WOOOHOOOO!!!!:beer:

FWIW, I was told my class of 16 has 8 737 and 8 756 positions.

See y'all on line.

 

[ACWild]

I hear ya! I'm 37 so I can't imagine being the oldest. Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Take it with a grain of salt. When I got hired spring of 87 the average captain was mid 30's. Now the average captain is in the mid 50's. Lots of retirements so relax enjoy the ride and hopefully your roll of the dice will pay off. Good Luck and Welcome to all future new hires.

 

[Stukadriver]

Class in EWR, eh? So much for driving to work (I live 45 mins. away from IAH). But like Pkober said, it's only two weeks! Either way, it looks like things are going to move quickly enough to get the base you want in fairly short order.

Happy to be here,

Stuka
