Just received a letter today from Dan Smith acknowledging that they received my resume. Is this the first step to an interview??

 

[fracflyer]

Nope, the first step was sending in the resume

Just kidding, I believe they send a letter to everyone they receive a resume from. Keep updating. I know they like to see persistence.

Good luck.

According to one of our furloughed pilots at US Air who now flies for CS, you have to have a recommendation from a CS pilot to get an interview. True?

 

[fracflyer]

Not true. I'm sure it helps, but I didn't know anyone that worked here. I know of others in the same boat that were hired also.

Good luck

 

[bravodude]

false.

it helps alot but its not req.

 

[English]

An internal rec is not required. I didn't have one and was hired anyway.

Unfortunately, I had to turn down the position due to some more pressing family issues that required me to stay in town for a few weeks while training was scheduled.

I was EXTREMELY impressed with everything I saw in White Plains. Citationshares is not as well known as some of the other fractionals, but I think it is definitely the jewel of them all. A well-run, professional organization. I wish more companies out there were like this...

 

[reepicheep]

Thanks for the encouragement folks!

Commuting 7/7 with CS on your own?

Can you keep an apt. in domicile and hop in the car every 7 days to get to the 'real' home on your own nickel? (4 hrs away'ish)

If your 7 off are gonna stay that way, I don't see any probs here.

Comments?

No crashpads. Your permanent residence must be at your domicile. They're hardcore about this.

 

[FatesPawn]

Just make your permanent residence your "non crash pad" apartment.

Consider your "other home" to be your weekend get-a-way.

 

[Diesel]

Here's a question. Why are they so strict on this policy though. As long as your at your crashpad before midnight on your first day who is to dictate what you do on your off days?

Maybe they call you at home or something?

 

[fracflyer]

I agree with you. I don't know the real reason behind the policy, but that's what they want. They take it seriously.

 

[FatesPawn]

I guess the question we're asking is - how do they know?

 

[fracflyer]

They want a copy of your drivers license with the address on it. Plus, they expect your certificates to reflect the address. I was moving from out of state and they wanted utility bills to show the new address. I've heard of them requiring a copy of your voter registration card and apartment lease if they think you're trying to fool them.

I think it's silly, but that's the deal. Maybe it will change in the future.

 

[FatesPawn]

wow. Do they give you bathroom passes as well? Just kidding

 

[Diesel]

Has it ever been a problem with someone not showing up to work?

How much time do they give you on the call out. Do they base it on a software program like mapquest. What if pilot a lives closer than pilot b? Does pilot a get called out all the time?

 

[fracflyer]

I don't know. I've always been called at least 12 hours before a trip. Usually, it's about 20 hours prior.

 

[bravodude]

they have always called me the day before although some guys have been given 1 1/2 hrs. to get to the airport. this is rare. (sick call). i am sure we have people here that are verry creative.

 

[climbhappy]

i did a phone interview with dan smith today.... any word on what's next?

 

[English]

I think Dan would have offered you an in-person interview at the conclusion of the phone interview. At least, that is how it happened for me.

 

[fracflyer]

That's how it happened for me also. Don't know if that's always the case.
