Don't know how many for the year yet, but 8 for May, 12 for June is what I heard, also they are still interviewing, good luck to all
 
Interviewed on Thursday, and I have to say I was impressed. Very friendly, professional folks. Spoke with Don the CP, Jim md80 fleet manager, Lorrie from HR, Mark from Training, and Kim I believe also from HR. Interview was striaght forward and nothing tricky. I genuinly felt like they were looking for a specific type of person not so much a certain kind of pilot. They said they were hiring for a 717 class in June 12 people. They said both md88's would be online by July for 3 year leases and a decision on fleet type 738's or 320's would be made in the next 6-12 months. They said that merger or not they were going to have to hire and not furlough for the training bubble needed with the 2 extra airplanes and impending fleet transition.

Great experiance! I hope they call me with good news.

Hey DASHDRIVER,
If you don't mind I'd like to know what your time breakdown is. PIC turbine, total, 121 time. Good luck.
I'm hoping to get back to the Midwest myself.

i was the low guy at the 3/29 interview.

260 121 PIC
3500tt
2100 121 and turbine time.

keeping my fingers crossed as they presented the company quite well.

the written exam was pretty straightforward. i know at least dashdriver and myself weren't geeks and got a 100 :-). study ntsb 830, 91, 121 (only the domestic questions), weather, atc, and aeromedical factors and you will do fine.

wolf, my midwest mgmt source told me he/she hadn't heard about the 717 aussie rumor (but he/she did state it was above his/her pay grade).

CitationLover, yeah I have heard it in the crew lounge but you know how that goes, the fact is that no one knows for sure till we see it on the ramp :)

Congrats to all of you guys, you will be very pleased by our training department, 100% pilot friendly top notch, great guys, ground, sim and checkairmen, very straight forward ground school. Great chief pilot and management staff that truly respect you and that will make your job very easy.

Also, CASS, unlimited j/s, and now completely automated non-revenue website makes commuting very easy since you can reserve the j/s.

Welcome on board and hope to see you guys on the line soon.

1st things 1st, i need the call from Laurie......
 
I was there on the 29th as well. Everything stated above is 100%. I asked Don about the 717 Aussie thing. He said its not true. Actually he followed up with the fact that it would make sense and its possible but no one came to him to ask what he thought or anything. Best of luck to anyone applying, I was also very impressed. I am hoping for the call as well.
 
sorry took so long to get back to everybody.

4600 total
500 pic turbine
1000 pic total
4000 121

There really isnot anything I can add to help prepare. If you study the ATP you'll get through the test and all of hr questions are tell me about a time stuff. God I hope I hear soon. This is turning into the longest week ever.

Did you eat the cookies? ;)
 
Hi!

My kids LOVE the cookies. They just had their first trip on Midwest last month. Actually, they didn't fly Midwest. It was MKE-YYZ-MKE so it was Skyway. But they still got the cookies.

I ate the cookies. Never turn them down.
 
i am a little nervous about adding a few lbs from said cookies. one of my fo contacts there said the smell hits you right about the time the sterile cockpit light is turned off. interestingly enough on the last DH to DFW I had, we were lucky to be seated in 1st class and sure enough, 1 hot chocolate chip cookie (not a basket full).

fly wolf, pardon my ignorance, but what is FLICA? we use raw sabre here at eagle to check your schedules, bid, etc.

FlightLine Internet Crew Access. Just another method of bidding, swapping, trading trips and viewing your schedules.

does it work on a mac if done over the internet?

It works, but you occasionally have to use IE to get the java windows to work properly. This sucks. Firefox 2.0.0.3 seems to be working fairly well now on my MacBook 2 gHz Core Duo, though.

Back during my initial on the way to MCO, my sim partner ate 12 of them on the way down....someone had mentioned that they have somewhere in the ballpark of 500 calories/cookie?
