I saw on another site that a CAL pilot applicant interviewed in mid-April and then was given a September class date. I know the hiring is slowing over the summer, but does anyone know if a pool is being formed or if all the summer classes are already full? Thanks.
 
I know people who interviewed early April getting May 2nd and May 16th class dates. I have not heard about a pool being formed. I thought they were pacing the interviews with the amount of classes they needed to fill.

Furloughed
 
Maybe the classes are already full. I thought they were going to stop interviewing for the summer as well. That isn't the case. Who knows????????

Was this person a XJT pilot? Maybe they have some agreement about taking too many of them because XJT dosen't want to hire any more than they have to with the pending loss of 69 airplanes and possible furloughs. That would allow XJT to get through the summer schedule without impacting CAL's bottom line.

My understanding is that there are no summer classes. When I interviewed in March, I was told that based on my availability that May 2 and May 16 were available. It seemed that there were no more classes after that from the way it was explained to me by the training department. I don't know if they are going to continue to interview now for September classes, but if someone isn't available for the 16 May class, they may putting them in the Sept class...which I certainly wouldn't call a pool. People interviewing at FedEx today, probably won't start until Sept or beyond (the only real pool going on right now)...not the case at CAL.

My two cents...
 
There are definitely classes this summer...only a few though.

RIO, did you ever schedule your interview?

May 2nd

I'm headed down there next week. I'm taking any and all advice, so please PM me if you have the time. Saw your boy over the weekend - he's got an interesting concept going with the new company. Take care.
