i was wondering if you guys can tell me how much time passed before you found out if you got the job? i interviewed this past wed on the 17th. is it the letter in a week or do they call you. my buddy interviewed on the 10 of april and hasnt got a letter yet, does that mean he didnt get the job? well hope someone can help. i was just wondering if they do it by letter or phone call,, and what the average wait is.

From my own experience and that of my buddies, the call that you got the job (ie a place in the pool) takes anywhere from 1 day to 1 week. If you don't get offered a position you get notified by a letter in about a week.

I just have a quick question. I read in a magazine that Chicago Express doesn't have any minimums. Although I have really low time I decided to send in a resume and cover letter. yesterday(4/26/02) I called and spoke with Dan Henegham or something like that and he told me that just for my information, minimums are 1100 and 100. Can anyone verify this?

 

[AZaviator]

Which magazine said Chicago Express didn't have any mins? Just curious.

Yea, 1,100tt/100multi sounds correct. Dan Heneghan is their head pilot recruiter so if anyone would know, he would be the guy.

I read it in aviation career.net. I knew I didn't stand a chance but I figured what the heck

 

[AZaviator]

Hey lalo, you're right, nothing wrong with applying. You never know.

With your hours, I'd try Airnet, and keep updating with them. They seem to hire people with low time. Just a thought.

Good luck.

well guys thatnks for your replys, i got a call earlier this week that i am now swimming in the pool. hopefully for not long. rumors have it that there is a class date this may too. and maybe june and july, but nothing definite. i hope it comes soon, but id rather be in this position then to be dry, ill be happy for awhile swimming. looks like a terrific company that is growing rapidlly and everyone i talk to you loves it there. never heard of any bad problems there. well thanks for all your help and hopefully soon, take care,

sorry about the mispelled words, i was in a hurry. about the minimum times posted, its very hard to say what they wany. i have seen people with about 250 total time to applicants with 3000. i think the lower your times our the more people you need to know. not really sure how it works there. wish you the best of luck though. keep on trying.

Flight times for those of us in April's class range from 1300hrs(me) to 11,000hrs. Average is about 1800hrs. There are classes in May and June, but not sure about any after that.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the advice Azaviator. I'm going to look into Airnet. I had a friend tell me about them but I though they had higher minimums. Turns out after looking at their site they dont. Thanks again
