"Welcome Aboard" Continental New Hires.

Two new hire classes started recently. Sixteen were in each class. They came from...

September 13th

XJT (4)
Air Wisconsin
AAA (2)
ATA
USAF
ANG/AAE
Midway
USAF (2)
Skywest
ASA

September 20th

Spirit
ATA (4)
Air Wisconsin (2)
USAF
USA3000/AAA
XJT (4)
Military
ACA
Pinnacle

All pilots in the 13th class were awarded the B737 in EWR. Twelve in the 20th class will go to the B737 in EWR. The remaining 4 go to the B756 in EWR. Their ages range from 24 - 54.

FYI - A new bid closed today. The most junior captain will be in EWR with a March 1998 hire date. Rumor has it hiring will continue at 64/mo. until April '06. It will then reduce to 32/mo. and will continue indefinitely.

Good luck to all that have applied.
