From what the "New Hires" I've flown with have said, there was just one interview date. You should call her back and ask what's up.

3 times to IAH...... First interview (group), a week later Second Interview (if you make it past the first one), A week later Orientation...so yep that would be 3 trips to Houston if your lucky.
That was the way it was back in March....as far as I know it is the same now.

 

[minrest]

That's crazy! I'll ask around and see what's up.

I know someone who interviewed and was given a class date this week. Two days is what he spent over there back to back. He's from Houston though.

I just got hired on and it was a two-day affair. If they can, they fly you in that morning, otherwise they fly you in the night before and put you in a hotel at their cost (which most places don't do). You then fly back that afternoon/evening.

For the second round of interviews, it was the same thing. They're now combining the second interview with orientation (provided you make it through the interview).

It makes for two long days, but you aren't out of pocket except for the two days you take off of work. Most other airlines will fly you in the day before, so you're still looking at a couple of days off. But you have to pay for your own hotel. So the CoEx way, even though it appears convoluted, actually works in your favor.

They like giving away seats on airplanes for free. Hence the "Free unlimited Up-grades" etc.....

It's all just one of the many ways in which they "Fund The Future." By doing stuff which involves no "funds."
