Comair New Hire classes

[PositiveRate]

The word as of today is that there will be new hire classes running on the 21st and 28th of October and the 4th of November. So anyone from the march interview dates, you should be getting called soon. The girl i talked to said the classes might eve get moved up a week from the above dates.

Hopefully things will spool up from there as far as new hire training is concerned. It's worth the wait.

Great news, P.R. I think I speak for all of us when I say thanks for keeping us informed. On another note, anyone out there in the pool that interviewed in April? I was Apr 25th and I heard Apr was a slow month. I'm just trying to get a feel of where I'm at in the pool. I know there are still March guys out there, hopefully, I'll squeeze into one of the later classes. See you all in CVG.

Hey PositiveRate

Thanks for the great news update. It is pretty encouraging. Any idea of the class size?

Sidseal

How many interviewed with you and how many were hired? Just curious to see if you know that. Still have no idea of the #'s in Apr. I also heard it was a slow month but have never seen anything that confirmed it. I have heard of 1 or 2 Comair instructors who interviewed in Apr. How about it, Hovernut - any numbers from down Florida side?

Hovernut

Let me know when they call you for class - from this info, should be soon.

how many are in the pool to be called before the start to interview again ?

Tri-holer: Eight people at my interview, including me. Four were Academy CFI's. I only kept in touch with one guy (furloughed eagle) and I know he didn't make it. Had a friend of mine start in July and he said there was a girl in his class that interviewed around the end of April. She was an Academy CFI. Hope this helps.

 

[Tri-holer]

I am just curious as to whether they just did one week of interviews in April. I guess not just curious but hopeful.

Hoping and praying. For everyone in the pool - hope to see you in class soon.

CLASS DATE

Thanks for posting some good information Positive Rate. It helps a lot to get an idea for class dates. I interviewed march 6th and one of the person that interviewed with me was notified today by Sharon to call back on Monday 30th. I bet its about the class date in october. I still have'nt got the call yet but I am hoping and praying that I get it soon enough to avoid going back to Eagle. Everyone in the pool hang it there soon will all be flying the line, its worth the long wait.

We have talked before. My son also got the call for a class date, but he will be telling Sharon that he is already employed, so if you have not already recieved a call you may get one yet. Hang in there. If not this class then hopefully the next. I hope you can get his slot. Some lucky applicant will.

Looks like the Training department has new-hire classes scheduled for Oct. 14th and 21st. Haven't seen anything for November yet. No word on class sizes where I got this information.

Previous class sizes have ranged from around 8, to a high of around 24, which occurred a couply of times in February of this year. Most of the classes this year have had 12 new hires per class.

Welcome to those of you who are getting the calls. Best wishes to the rest of you in the pool. Hopefully the company's growth will regain some momentum soon.

Oct 21

Of all the times for the dam answering machine to fail!!!!!!!! Been out of town due to family illness and when I got wind of the calls, I checked the machine only to find an empty outgoing messags !

Called around and finally Sharon called again and "jellied" up the 21st date. I can't believe it....finally!!! I can land that darned Seminole!

The 14th and 21st clears out the rest of the Apr CFIs and all but one May CFIs. I hope this logjam is breaking up finally for all of us. See you on 21!

 

[Tri-holer]

Outstanding John!

Wish I was there in that class too but I am sure it will take awhile for us non-Comair CFIs to catch up.

At least it is encouraging. Have fun in class.

Just managed to talk to Sharon Jones today. She gave me the skinny that she could.

The class on the 14th of Oct will be 11 people and the class on the 21st (not confirmed yet but fairly certain it will happen) will be 12 people. From what I understand there were still a few slots to fill. She is still working from the 7 March interview group.

There were 3 more days of interviewing in March and 2 days in April (the 24th and 25th).

She did say there might possibly be a small class on the 28th of Oct but that is not confirmed at all.

She expects to put another 45 or so people into training before the end of the year.

This is the latest that I was able to get. She is very busy and would like to get more information out to us but there is no way she could take the time to. I believe that I heard her and passed this information on correctly - but if there are any errors, I accept the blame.

Hoping to see you in class soon.
