Anyone know if they make you fill out a Flight Time grid or anything at the interview? I got the packet with the application and all, but there isn't any specific form for Flight Time. Just hoping to get a head start on what they want out of the logbooks.

Thanks!

Anyone else interviewing Thursday???

They did not make me fill in a time grid during the interview but they will look over the logbboks.

Thanks for the info there Dave...

Do you know, are they hiring into the mentioned classes or a pool? Maybe see ya around.

 

[ataopsdave]

I think they are still looking to fill the Aug class and there will be a Sep class as well

Are they still having people pay for that $250 sim fee? Hopefully there will be classes in Winter/Spring when i'm closer to applying.

 

[IP076]

You know, thats a very good question, which was addressed no where in the application packet.

Hmmm...

 

[ataopsdave]

They have since changed their entire interview process and the sim ecal is now paid for by the company

Time to response?

I just sent in a resume last week. Anybody have a feel on how long it takes to get a response?? It's my first try in a long time (Now I'm about 1700 TT, 190 ME).

Thanks!

Upgrade time right now?

What is the upgrade time right now?

 

[WDYCITY701]

Upgrade time--> 2.5-3 years.....could be more....could be less....all depends on attrition and/or ATA survival....don't know of to many other places where it would be faster. A year ago it was 2 years.

Someone mentioned that they're "hurting for F/O's". In this environment, with so many more pilots than jobs, doesn't it say something about a company if they're hurting for pilots? I've been looking for a new job also; and am avoiding like the plague any place with moderate or high turnover.

Future classes

From what I understand they had a September and October class and possibly a November class. Any word on if they are still interviewing for a November class or a subsequent class after New Years? Any gossip/gouge would be appreciated.
