Express Jet Hopfuls!!!

Yeah the whole system isnt perfect, but they are really tired of everyone calling constantly...so by "threatening" their app dates to get screwed up if you call, they eliminate these bogus calls...did anyone ever stop and think about that? I talked to a peoplescout rep, and my app date hasnt changed...the appt date means NOTHING. The system does some stupid things at times, but nothing is ever perfect. thats my fifty cents on the whole thing.....

Hang in there guys. The patience will surely pay off.

With the number of applications I am sure there are some "slipping through" the cracks but be diligent and prepare

It's kind of like this all across the board. My husband applied back in October. In Nov, Dawn called and asked him to fax his resume. He did, but heard nothing. In December, I called Dawn to inquire (figuring it was better if I called, since I work here and know Dawn) and was told that his resume must have been misplaced and to please fax another. He did. Since then, he's heard nothing. He's certainly qualified - much more so than I was when I got hired (121 turbine PIC time, etc). Just goes to show, even those of us who work here get a bit screwed when it comes to this process.

Did Dawn tell you that updating a resume does the same as calling People Scout or are you making an assumption?

YES! yea guys don't call peoplescout either. They have no clue and it does the same thing as resending the online app.

Good Luck

Alright guys, listen up. Yeah, my origianal post was inflammatory, I was frustrated. For those of you who make assumptions, I think Expj owes me NOTHING---READ THAT...NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get off the friggin' attitude high horse. I appreciate the fact that they offered preferential interviewing, something which many Expj guys and others on the outside weren't pleased about. BUT, it was the process of applying that has become monstrously frustrating. Dawn said she received my resume, by the way, and it was one that I had to manually fax in after I gave up with the PeopleScout system. She called today actually saying that she will be scheduling me for an interview...in March. If someone applies in October and still hasn't heard anything because she never received anything from PeopleScout, only the hard copy I sent in, and others are getting called who applied two weeks ago, then there is indeed a problem with that system. You can only pull your hair out some many times before there is none left. So, for those of you who think I am bitter because Coex didn't hire me, THEY JUST CALLED ME FOR AN INTERVIEW IN MARCH, so think before you assume that your all-seeing wisdom is correct. My frustration is over the system they have set up. And for those of you who think I'm being a prima dona, well, I won't waste the effort in responding. If you don't get it, you don't get it. Find another thread to post on. My "attitude" is one of thankfullness that they offered to do this in the first place. That offer shows great respect and professionalism.

Yeah, ASA treated me well and nearly knocked my door down. That gave a nice impression. The pilots I have met outside of the GO have made it very clear that we are welcome and they have a "home" for us there. I wish that home could have been Expressjet, and still could be, although I'm taking ASA now due to family near ATL, etc...Was my mind made up before this rant was written, not really actually. To everyone at Expressjet, you are a great group of pilots, a few of whom are good friends. My bitching was over the process, nothing else. Oh, and by the way, the original call that Dawn made to me was in response to mine, and she said she had no record of my original application, although the PeopleScout person said it was in the system, nor did she have the Furloughed Pilot Application. This began the frustration. To everyone who got/gets hired, congrats!!!! I know you will be happy with your choice. To Paul Smith on the previous page: SCREW YOU!!!!!

I really take no exception to about 90% of your post, but your assertion that there are folks here who are upset that Indy guys are getting pref. interviews is just total BS.

This action is supported tremendously by our pilot group, it is the right thing to do, and getting guys with some time will be good for the company in the long run.

Anyway, good luck.
