FoxHunter,

So we have learned that you do not know how to read the contract.

Now we know that you do not know how to read the Table Position, 13 October 2005. Looks like some improvement retirement provisions to me. Yes we do not have them yet, but it is ALPA's position that we should have some.

Maybe you should do some reading and become a little wiser old man.
 
Jan 3/4 interview, was called to update 2 weeks ago. One guy in my group was selected for the May 22 class (current MD11 FO), dont know about the other 2 guys in my group. ---waiting for the call---
 
Feb 22/23 interview, updated on June 1. It seemed that they were just calling everyone to update so as to remain within the 120 day window, but as I see more postings it seems that not everyone is getting called to update based on interview date? Any thoughts? ...just waiting...
 
I was told there are only a few people who know the selection process for the MD-11. I had someone trying to break the code but they can't seem to find anything out. Oh well, just have to keep swimming like evrybody else. While I'm in the water, guess I'll go fishing. Later........
 
Well, I thought I'd put up a post to keep the thread alive...

"Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming."

Early Feb interview, updated drug test and Medical, not "qualified" to be in a MD-11 class.

Don't forget to role over on your back and float when you run out of energy.

I could not be happier to be in the pool. Looking forward to day 1 in MEM.

Talk to a fellow Poolie via email. Early Feb interview also ask to update med, p-test, ect. He was told all the Airbus and MD-11 slots filled. No idea when he would get called for a class.
 
wmss,
When did your bud hear from/ask HR that the ANC slots were filled? Was it this past week?

Poolies: Looks like MEM from here on out, no?

MAR-CO!!!

I think he means they've identified who'll be going to the MD vs the Boeing. From the info on this thread they've only scheduled about 36 guys for MD training so far (8 on 22nd May, 10 on 5th Jun, and 18 on 19th Jun). With 70 or so slots to fill at ANC, I'd guess at least two more MD classes before they start MEM 727 training.

Haven't heard of any calls for a 3 July class, has anyone else? Maybe with 18 guys starting on 19 Jun they'll wait longer between classes?

Thats the impression that I got from him; that they had identified all the people going into the MD class slots. Not sure when my friend talked to HR, but I would think it was in the last couple weeks.

My info is that there will be 30 727 SO's start training in aug,and continuing at 30 a month .There will also be 20 727 Fo training slots in Aug.
 
A HUGE class of 2 (thats right, 2) started yesterday, according to the company website. That is fairly unusual.

Keep them coming!

Got the pool call on 6 Jun, so I just got wet.

What's the latest word on how many swimmers left?

It sure better be more than 30 a month for the Boeing starting in Aug. At that rate they won't deplete the pool until next spring.

Does this mean HR identified all going into the MD class slots AND notified those folks, or just did the identifications internally and haven't necessarilly called those folks yet?

Do we think these may be the folks who have been asked to reaccomplish their physical and piss tests, but have yet to be called for a class date?

Anyone get a called for a MD class beyond 19 Jun?

It appears the class notifications only go out 2-3 weeks in advance.

Still treading happily in paradise...

They seem to be going in order of interview date for calls for the piss tests. One guy I know interviewed 2 weeks after me and got the call to update the piss test exactly 2 weeks after me. A third friend interviewed 1 week after the first guy I mentioned and was called exactly 1 week after him as well. None of us have backgrounds which would put us in the mix for an MD-11 slot.

Don't think there is any kind of order right now. Don't know when those guys interviewed, but there are still people who interviewed in Jan that have not got the call to update their drug test. Not sure we'll know anything until the actual call comes, sooner better than later.

That is a twist I was not aware of. I thought everyone in Jan had been called. Could be a comm problem. I'd be calling KD's office to check the phone #'s they had on file if I were a Jan guy.
 
I'm a mid-Jan interview guy that hasn't been called to update medical or piss-test yet, but then again KD knew I wasn't available until my terminal leave started in early May.

In mid-May, I snail mailed in a copy of my "honorable discharge" letter and also forwarded her contact #s which would be valid at the end of Jun/early July as I move my family back to the mainland.

Am hoping the good news calls well come my way at the end of July or early Aug.
 
I interviewed in Jan. I was called to update my drug test in May. I know of a couple more people in the same situation. I don't think we qualify for the MD-11. No heavy experience. Just a guess.

I am hoping we get a call soon to start class! :nuts: See you in MEM!
 
17 started today, probably joining the 2 that started last Friday.

None of those 19 are on the training letter yet (as far as I can tell).

Keep them coming!

FJ
 
Got the call to update the drug test today...
Interviewed in March.
