Dec 11 Calls

Calls are still going out (yesterday and today) for the Dec 11 class date. At least 4 of the May 18/19 interview group have gotten the call. Update "pee" test and training package for the Dec 11 class will follow. One call does it all. As said before, 30 slots all SOs. Looks like it will be a "Purple Christmas" after all. Cheers...ExAF

Call for Dec 11th

Got the call from KD yesterday. Dec 11th SO. Interviewed 24/25 May with 3 other poolies. At least 2 of us have received the call for class. Airfish- any calls yet? Anyone know what the routine for training will be during Christmas week?

Congrats guys.

Guess on Christmas week for those starting on the 11th: Normal classes up until that Fri and then the wknd and Xmas day off, maybe a day or two after that. Then back to salt mines. That is just a guess, maybe some folks who have been in class over the holidays can shed some light on how it worked for them.

Congrats again.

How 'bout the meet&greet rumor? When will they start again? What form will they take?

When I went through training a few years ago with the same setup we had the whole week off during the holidays. I believe X-Mas was on a Sunday and we took basically a week and a half off........from that Thurs till the next Tuesday. Granted that was many years ago.........maybe those guys getting calls can ask KD but I'm sure she can't give a concrete answer.

On the meet&greets I have been told they will start back up in January at the earliest. I am sure we will get an e-mail via VIPS and you'll know within the hour on this website when they'll start up again. Will be interesting to see the protocol this time around..............

Good luck to all the newbies...see you on line soon!! You're gonna love this place!!

Anyone from the 30 May interview date get a call?

Any thoughts on how deep the pool will be emptied since the Dec 11 class has approx 29 or 30 newhires?

No way?! I can't believe that info about the holiday break. That would be pretty dang cool. I am not counting chips until we make it to the first day of class.

I was a 30/31 May interview guy....and still hanging onto my floatie....hoping for a purple Christmas though....anyone have any intel??

Ygbsm!!!

Last week, my sponsor (a mgt type in the tng dept), told me a couple(?) of pilots in the pool turned down training dates because their old legacy airline (Delta) called them back off furlough.

Given the events of this week, all I can say is, WOW.
