I gotta a call today. They are not giving much notice though. Interview dates are the 7th and 26th. I explained to them that I wasnt able to go those dates because my schedule is already set for March and I am working those dates. I asked for April dates but unfortunately they don't have that set up yet because they are slowing down on hiring. Im an honest guy. I just dont want to call in sick with my current company.

I've been watching this thread for a while--one of my friends and I went to the Feb 2 open house. I got a call yesterday, he got one today. My interview was scheduled for Mar 26--I'm not sure if the Mar 7 session is full or they just want me in the second session based on my June availability. Thanks for all the info on this thread!

Sounds pretty shortsighted to me. You might want to look at the bigger picture.

what is that supposed to mean?

It means that "not calling in sick" could cost you an interview and a better job. I wouldn't rot in a lousy position because you didn't want to take a chance. You'll have noone to blame but yourself.

Exactly! beg, borrow, steal, get sick, forget to show up(don't make a habbit of it), whatever . If it gets you in the door you want to be in go... or don't and leave room for the people that really want the job.

I requested vacation, denied, bid for the days off, got denied, talked to my chief pilot and told him that I was interviewing and wont be available for the trip, he apologized that he didn't have a solitary reserve available to cover the trip so he couldn't pull me off. Then I called scheduling and told them I would not be flying the trip as I had an interview, they told me they would work on finding someone and would pull me off "emergency" for the trip if need be.. it ended up playing out that way even though they had 3 weeks notice. So I had "emergency" as the reason for not flying that trip... effect on my job at the old company.. nil.. ymmv

That's why, until you get to a more understanding company like JB, you never tell the CP that you need a day off. I mean, if you are sick, you are sick...
