Back in 2007 when I was at NATCO they already had one 747-400 sim if I amnot mistaken. Is this in addition to that one?

yes, this will be a new sim for NATCO.

It helps if you have more than just an internal rec on paper. If your bud thinks highly enough of you to take the time to personally walk into the hiring dept and put in a plug for you in person it makes all the difference in the world...your app, 1 of 12-14000, will most likely be taken off the airline apps computer, printed out and literally placed in a pile of 100 or so to be considered for an interview. right now there aren't any folks there to talk to, but when the time comes and they crank up the machine....

And if your guy is really good, he will get you an interview on the spot!

In reality it depends on who is running the program when we start hiring. It is all up to them. DAL gives their hiring dept total autonomy from the upper levels. I know former interns that worked for the VP. Guess what? They did not get hired. It is that separated.

Anyone know how many guys from Compass and Mesaba would flow if there were hiring this year?

 

[ACL65PILOT]

20 CPS guys per class and I think none Mesaba. FWIW CPS is capped at 25% of the list per annum.

it appears that they didnt like the 747-400 back when oil was double where it's at but with that down, loads picking up, and the 787 issues they seem to want the 747 around for a while now. They've moved forward with investing and upgrading the 744's now so i can totally see us adding to the fleet going forward.
