Express Jet hiring

[kevdog]

flynryan15,

Are you(r) pilot(ing) skill(s) as good as you(r) english?

 

[flynryan15]

well?

To be correct it wouldn't english it would be grammer. And sorry I didn't realize I was taking a spelling test or better yet the S.A.T.S.

 

[kevdog]

...say no more! (please)

 

[upndsky]

Did I miss a step? What's with the icing announcement and the need to print it out? After I did, I got a page asking my race and gender and then a page saying thanks. Anyone else confused?

FlynRyan, learn to spell and come back in a thousand hours.

 

[kevdog]

I got the same thing...

Probably what the first couple of people were talking about. Maybe they will email you in a week asking what the lines were to see if you really wrote it down, lol.

The only thing the Fly is the Emb 135-145 the bases are Newerk Junior, Cleveland next junior and Houston senior

Wrong!
CLE is the most senior base now.

Simple Economics

Well Ryan, it appears as though you need an economics lesson in addition to a grammar lesson. The airline industry is all about supply and demand. Currently the supply of pilots far outweighs the demand, so the airlines can be picky. You seem to think you are entitled to a job. Think again. I understand that you've had setbacks, but most of us have. I'm currently recovering from ACL surgery and will be back in the cockpit tomorrow, weather and instructor availability permitting.

On a lighter note, that last question was kinda silly. Initially, it was suspected that the qualified candidates got a different speech, but upon talking to a friend that didn't meet the multi requirement it appears that everyone is getting the same one. Strange.

grammer is spelled "grammar"....

Just filled out the app... what was the deal with that last question?

 

[WMUdz]

I didnt get the race and gender page - The first page was name and address - second times and generic questions - third the script. Did different people with different times get different apps?

 

[Mitsipilot]

Just filled out the app... what was the deal with that last question?

What did the last question ask?

 

[WMUdz]

If you have more than 500 multi, you are taken to a 4th page asking for gender and race. It then says you will be contacted by a recruiter. If you have less than 500, the train stops at the script page.

It appears the mins will be 500 multi.

I just got a call from Express Jet recruiting, and they gave me a telephone interview. I filled out the online app 24 hours ago. Some of the questions asked were:

1) What would you do if a passenger made a comment about a hard landing?

2) What would you do if thunderstorms were forecast at the destination?

3) What would you do to make a passenger's experience with the airline pleasurable?

4) The last thing asked to do was to read the exerpt that I had to print out from the last process of the application.

That was pretty much it, and she said that I had made it thru the first phase of the process, and I will be contacted by a senior recruiter.

Hope this helps, and good luck to all!!

 

[LearLove]

Got the call and the same questions also.

 

[Skyward]

Do you remember the name of the person making the calls?

 

[kevdog]

I got the call too, but they didn't ask me to read the script.

Mystery solved

Finally, the mystery of the last question is solved. Those of you who are qualified and filled out the online app, keep that piece of paper with you at all times!!! I got to read mine from the fitting room at the Limited this evening!

 

[Rythm3]

I don't remember the name of the person making the calls, but it was a woman.

 

[Vegaspilot99]

I filled one out late Sunday evening and I called them today to verify everything like it says on the last page. Was told they didn't have any appointments availible at this time and that they'd call when they did. Hopefully they will soon!

 

[upndsky]

I also got the call but she didn't ask me to read the script, although I had printed it out. I asked how I did but she said she couldn't divulge it on the phone. She did say I would be notified of my status by mail in about 8 days. I don't know if that's good or bad.

The call completely blindsided me. I was at home enjoying a couple of beers when it came. Plus, I fly freight, so the answers to the passenger questions didn't come naturally. She did say that the thunderstorm question was too vague and that they would have to rephrase it.

I don't think I particularly like this process. I felt torpedoed and I hate to lose a chance at an airline I really want to fly for because of someone reading questions from a script.

BTW, my times are 2350/600

 

[kevdog]

I fly freight too and she woke me up and caught me by suprise.

 

[pilotshan]

Imagine being caught in the dressing room trying on shirts...

 

[Vegaspilot99]

I listed my home number and cell number on the info...on days that I'm home I leave the computer logged online most the day. If my home line is busy do you think they'll try the cell or should I change my info to reflect my cell as my main number? Thanks guys.

 

[upndsky]

Yeah,

At first I thought she was a telemarketer because she had trouble pronouncing my last name (it's not easy) and she mumbled through the fact that she was calling for ExpressJet. I was about to hang up on her when she mentioned something about me applying online. That's when the dime dropped. At least I've learned to answer the phone nicely.

 

[starchkr]

If you miss the call do they try to call back? Just curious because i was happily(<---sarcasm intended) working on my physique at the gym and when i got home my phone said i missed a call but there was no message. kinda curious if it was them and if i am now passed up permanently.


caller ID just said UNKNOWN

 

[Mr Proachpoint]

These guys are in a hurry I guess.

I got called while I was flying today, lady left a message around 5pm, I called back at 6:30pm and was told that the call was in reference to an interview, but all the positions in the current file are filled. She said I should hear from them again within 90 days or resubmit online if I don't get another call??????

Kinda wierd process.

 

[ATRCA]

You guys should all tell others a little about your backround and time for those who are wondering about where they stand. I'm gettin lots of PM's from people asking about mins but to be honest I have heard nothing official from the company. Wish I could help. Good luck to all.

 

[juventus]

I got the called an hour ago same questions and reading of the script she also told i was going to be contacted by senior recruiter in 50 to 90 days for an interview appointment .
She also said that upgrading is 3 to 4yrs and if that would be acceptable for me.
Good luck to everyone.

 

[BoilerUP]

Dayam, they just started collecting profiles a few days ago and already they are doing telephone pre-screening. They must need people really bad...or the pool is gonna have a REALLY deep end.

Guess word travels fast on the net

I think they're sticking to what was posted (1500/500). I have just over that (1700/550), but the app doesn't distinguish between 1500 hours and 1700 hours. It just asks you to put your total time and multi time into a range. Mine both fell into the lowest range that met the mins.
