Job at ASA

[fsworld]

Hello all,

I got the letter from ASA saying I got the job a few weeks ago. I was just wondering how long its taken people to get a call with a training date after they got the letter? I know they told us to expect June, July at the latest for the training date but its still one of those things that make you antsy.

If you are waiting on all the background stuff...expect about 3 weeks. You will get a lettter from the FAA saying ASA has requested your records...you should get a call a few days after that.


If you can also call Julie and tell her you are ready to go on short notice if someone no shows. I think they average 2-3 no shows per class.

Congratulations and welcome aboard.

Thanks,

I got the letter from the FAA awhile ago actually. Maybe a week- 2 weeks ago. I was told by someone that they may be waiting on my previous employeers to get back to them though. As for calling Juli. Should I do that? The letters says "dont bother us!" pretty much.

I don't think she would mind a call saying you could go on short notice, but then again, I don't know her.

After you've passed your checkride, please shorten your "aircraft experience" profile to "CR2 and most Cessnas."

Just giving you a hard time...welcome aboard.

If you think this place is entertaining, just wait till you listen to the ops frequency on a good night. A strong repartee gives you a definate advantage.

Congrats and welcome.

Send an email to the hiring dept explaining your willingness to get on a short call list. I wouldnt call her. Let an intern tell her..!
On another note, sometimes the short call list means like a few hours or 1 day at the most, so make sure you can do that.

I put myself on the short call list when I was hired in 02...

Class stared Nov 4, and I was called at 10 am nov 4th and asked if I could be there by 8 am Nov 5... there were several no shows!

Go for the short call list.. SENORITY IS EVERYTHING... ONE DAY COUNTS... One day can mean the difference between a job and a furlough... One day can mean the difference between being on reserve for 10 years and holding 25 days off a month!

One more time.........ONE DAY COUNTS
