Comair pool?

[skiddriver]

Classes are held "as needed."

We started off the year with one a week, but that can change in a heartbeat. With aircraft delivery delays and the war coming up, classes could slow down.

If that happens, don't panic - I found myself in the same situation last Spring when Comair cancelled new-hire classes in March and didn't train again until June. In that event, they will start hiring again (you're "hired" when you show up for training). I have to emphasize, no indication right now that any training classes will be postponed.

Good luck.

I had a friend interview on the 11th and he told me that during the company overview they announced to the group that the next class would be at the end of March or beginning of April. Personally, I think it's a little late to have a class start on the 31st, but what do I know. Just thought I'd pass along the info!

Just waiting by the phone!

Getting the interview

Did you guys have people walk in your resumes?

I faxed resumes to them, however, I never get a "we received your resume" email or anything.

Are the interviews being offered on a basis of who you know, or are they being pretty open?

Thanks

I've posted this before, but I'll repeat.

I sent in faxes with regular updates. I snail-mailed in resumes. I had three Comair pilots (1 Capt, 2 F/Os) I was regularly flying with in our mixed AD/Reserve unit who wrote LOR's, walked in resumes, and hounded HR. Not a bite.

I went to the Jan '02 Airinc seminar in Dallas, was the first one at the Comair table when we broke for the face-to-face session (I ran), found Sharon Jones and handed her my resume while spewing out my one minute "why I want to work at Comair" spiel - and walked away with an interview offer. Interviewed a few weeks later, started training 17 June '02.

I'm not big on shilling for Airinc, but I wouldn't be flying at Comair right now if I hadn't attended that conference.

Without any of those gyrations, I received interview offers from Piedmont, ACA, and Netjets - interviewed at Piedmont and received a job offer there.

I don't think who you know matters.

Good luck.

Interveiwed on 19 Feb, got the cograts letter 4 Mar...I am in the 31 Mar class

 

[Shark]

Bryanps did you get a phone call or another letter, and i guess you got it recently

 

[Looking4Traffic]

Congrats Bryan

Congratulations Bryan. Have you heard from anyone else in the
2/19 or 2/20 interview classes?

 

[Bryanps]

Shark, when I got the letter I had already planned on being out of town, so I called Sharon and told her I would be gone and gave her my cell. She told me what class she was trying to fill, so I said , sign me up. I did hear from one other person from the 19th that is also in the 31 march calss.

Comair Class

Interviewed on 2-18, got the "congrats" letter on 3-3, Sharon called last week and offered a 3-31 class. Got the confirmation in the mail today that I'm in the class.

For those of you wondering about how to score an interview, I too got mine by attending the AIR INC job fair in Dallas and speaking face-to-face with a recruiter. I also got interviews with Colgan and ASA last fall after speaking to their recruiters at the D.C. job fair. I am not saying you need to give $ to Kit Darby to get a job. I'm just saying that for me, the cost of the Dallas job fair was worth it many times over. I'm sure my resume would have gotten lost in the stack had I not attended.

Good luck to you all.

Congrats to all those in the upcoming class. I can only assume that the people that interviewed on the 20th and 21st are next...maybe April sometime? Keep your fingers crossed!

 

[diablo25]

I interviewed on the 18th, received congrats letter on the 4th. I have not heard from Comair since. Any idea as to how they fill the classes?

 

[Looking4Traffic]

I was told by someone at Comair that they try to have a mix of
people in each class (i.e. some civilian, some military, some high
time, some lower time). I have also heard that it helps if most of
your background check is near done by the time they call you up.
But it's all hearsay and conjecture. I'm confident that we're all
going to be down there training soon. Good luck.

Good news!!!!

Sharon called me today (25 March) and said I would be in the April, 28 class.

I got my interview from the Air-Inc seminar on 27 January, then interviewed on 19 February, got the congrats letter on 3 March, and finally the call for class on 25 March for a 28 April start date.

I cant wait. Good luck to everyone else!!!

 

[Looking4Traffic]

Congrats

Congratulations Roadrot!

Any word on classes between 3/31 & 4/28? Heard from anyone else from interviews on 2/19, 2/20 or 2/21?

Best of luck.
