Do you guys know if the May and June classes have been filled up already?

Same question I have. I interview next week. Are they starting a pool?

 

[tmac3333]

No pool. 2 classes in May, 2 May and 16 May. I don't know if either class is full yet. Classes are slowing down from 4/month in April to 2/month May to unknown in June and beyond. Less interviews will cause less hires which cause less classes is my understanding of it. I know...rocket science, but no meet and greet and no pool.

I just got the call from CAL on March 29. They were interviewing 6 people including me on 28 March. They ended the interview with Do you have any questions for us? I asked if hiring was going to continue. They said that it will indeed slow over the next couple of months to about 8/month then pick back up in the Fall just as CAL EWR B737 said. My class date is April 25th so I dont know if they have filled up that training class yet. Good luck to all of you, I have been a regular reader, never posted becasue had little to add to most of the posts but can't wait to start with CAL. PM me with any questions, Ill be happy to help if I know anything.

Two questions please"

1) What are the bases and how long to get to LAX if a base?
2) Do the follow up on a senority resignation or just want a copy of a letter?

Thanks - Baja.

no LAX base. that closed in the 90's? i think. bases are IAH, CLE, EWR, GUM. EWR and IAH are junior bases right now. CLE is known as a 'flying club' because of its small base size. GUM is fairly senior right now due to the nice benefits provided for GUM pilots (better pay, medical benefits day one, COLA - cost of living adjustment, etc).

talk of satellite bases appears to be drowned out by the reality of PBS coming soon - they want to see how staffing levels are affected before they make a call. one thing about PBS is that it lets them experiment with things a lot more (ie: make a fake LAX base in computer and see what it spits out). we'll see.

i've heard that they don't require seniority resignation from another carrier. not sure about that though.

good place to be and good time to get in as you can catch the rise of the hiring wave before it breaks into a whitecap.

Gee, I wonder what y'all would be saying if he was a she?

"Great gal!"......NOT!

Gee, I wonder how you got YOUR job at UPS? Hippocrite.

That was never brought up during our training... It's not required.

You won't have to resign seniority at all. It's never discussed at all. Congrats to the newhires-! EWR 737 pilots are holding a conversion line (rsv converted to trips-also known as a 'conversion line' --you may know it as a 'mixed line' --with no rsv days after the converting) after 4 months from DOH. 13-15 days off is normal and u can trip trade for commutability. Trips are domestic mix and central/south america stuff. I have never flown the round dial out of EWR. I can't seem to grab the caribbean overnights, but I prioritze commutability. Just giving you an idea of the fun stuff. Again, CONGRATS!!!!!!!
