Well, I finally received the email today from Derinda inviting me to Columbus for the interview. It was a standard form letter offering only two interview periods.....April 6/7 or April 12/13. It also contained a domicile preference declaration that one will need to bring to the interview. The letter stated clearly that only PBI, CMH, and LAX were being offered for domiciles, so everyone out there take heed. Anticipated hiring dates for this group of interviewees will be in May. Questions?

If you really live in Queens you're not too far from me. I can hook you up with some interview gouge if need be. You will like NJA good bunch of guys for the most part.

Thanks for the offer, but Archie Bunker is just my nom de plume, and I don't really live in NY....I'm on the west coast.

I have mountains of gouge.....probably overkill for a 45 min interview, but I do appreciate the offer.

CAroll Oconnor was great. He may not be the greatest actor ever but I truly believe that he was the greatest actor to ever fit specifically into his role and Bunker was it. Number 2 would be Pacino as Scarface and 3. Larry Hagman..JR Ewing.
 
Congratulations, Archie! Thanks for the heads-up on the domicile choices. I'm keeping an eye on that issue for a friend of mine who's thinking of coming here.

Please let us know how it goes. I wish the very best in your interview and if you would like, feel free to PM with questions.

Don't forget the Raging Bull DiNero
 
I dream of Jennie...

I would have to argue that Hagmans best role was as Maj. Nelson...Jennie's Master! Although I don't remember watching him as much as Jennie bouncing around!

Oh yeah, congrats Arch!
 
Don't forget Reeve's in The Matrix, only because he sucks in almost every other movie he has been in.

Good luck on the interview, keep us posted.
 
Congratulations, Archie! I hope it all goes smoothly for you.

Actors that fit their role.....lots of candidates, but what about duos where they both were a great match? Like...Gomer Pyle and Sergeant Carter.
Sheriff Andy Taylor and Barney....think about it. That whole cast was a good fit. Just like Mash. Oh, and Gilligan's Island. And my brother's favorite, Hogan's Heroes.....

So I can't be accused of getting off topic.....1108 and frac pilots...There's a good match! :)
 
Congrats Arch - Good luck to you. Let us know if anything has changed from the gouge. Don't know what I'd do if LAX isn't offered.

Anyone else taking the job and commuting to a domicile and waiting for your 1st choice? BTW - where is PBI and CHM without looking them up? I'm thinking Columbus and Florida maybe. Oh well - wait and see.

Baja.

Don't count on that. There is no provision in the contract for post-ratification hires to change domiciles. Where you start is where you are until you qualify for HBA.

BTW - where is PBI and CHM without looking them up?
PBI=Palm Beach
CMH=Columbus, OH
 
Sad but true, UG. We can only hope that the company will realize the folly of their decision, sooner rather than later.
One wonders how much dedication there is to a half-baked concept whose chef has already left the kitchen. NJW
 
Its sounds as if they are begining to realize their mstakes and are trying to set something up to get back on track.......Time will tell.
 
Unfortunately, I think time will reveal more information than management. They don't exactly have a good track record of sharing accurate data, do they? They know the plan wasn't popular with the pilot group so I don't look for them to take the group into their confidence any time soon.
 
When I started this process the word on the street was for 06 you would get to pick any of the domiciles. Now I sit waiting for the invite and DAL is not on the table. I want to work at NJA, but I can't move the family. What to do?
