POOLIES: News from Jennifer

[Santini]

Just a quick update spoke with JM moments ago, she welcomed me to the deep end and advised that a formal letter would follow. best geuss at a class date was Mid to Late summer but maybe as early as May. Interviewed on Jan 17, DB on the 20th Feb. Best of Luck to all, See Ya in KDAL.

This is really something!

At least JM is consistently inconsistent.

from Santini:

class date was Mid to Late summer but maybe as early as May

.

JM would never make it as an artillery spotter. She needs to learn how to refine her "bracket" somewhat.

Don't get me wrong, I think JM's doing her job the way she's been instructed. I'm just trying to keep the humor quotient up.

Happy to be here, but can't wait to get there .

On another note:

Good Luck to those waiting on the 13 Mar DB!

 

[Santini]

Hopefully she is walking the rounds in and not out. It seems Hurry up and Wait never goes away. Just like you Iam Glad to be here cant wait to be there. Best of Luck.
Any other recomendations for study material its been almost 5 years since my Type, have Johns Cards anything else??

Can't vouch for the info, wouldn't trust any numbers, but gives an overview of the systems.

Any other info available out there?

Slug in da pool

Poolies,

Just another data point for your and my calculations on when you can start drying off with a towel of LUV.

I spoke with JM today about 1300. I interviewed Oct 25 already with the type from my first attempt 2 years ago. At first she said an optimistic May class for me then explained nothing in May is set in stone including classes every two weeks. We talked about all the inputs to decide who comes out of the pool when and the fact that classes are 20 again. She then said I might/could optimistically expect a end of April class.

I honestly believe that until she starts calling to actually hard schedule people against a set date she cannot tell how far into her list she will get. I know there are people who are going to FedEx, who are not getting furloughed and thought they would, and so on. She is extremely busy right now I can imagine with the tons of interviews, classes, apps, etc that she gets everyday her crystal ball for predicting future classes is a little cloudy.

Have faith, every indication from the company is things are great for those of us in the pool. New airplanes, new routes, new hires, and rumors from inside the training house; none of it is bad. Remember the last step of the QRC (published by IVAUIR, the Supreme Crystal Gazer) SWEAT IT ----- DON'T

Remember - 50% of the people in this world are of below average intelligence

Forgot to add

JM also said the Mar 28 class is still not filled as of 7 Mar.

[pegasus]

Even more confused

At 1600 eastern JM informed me that all classes are filled through April, and I am not in them. Now feeling paranoid!
She also confirmed no planned class dates after April, so June is what I should realistically expect if they reinstate 2 classes/month. My stats; type Nov 17 (after interview).

 

[t1apilot]

To be sure!


pegasus,

Just to be clear, you are saying the april classes are full as well???
DOHHHH!

[pegasus]

My wife answered the phone. I was at work. Not flying (YUK).
Yes, according to Jennifer, all classes in Mar and Apr have already been filled. Sorry.

 

[Slug]

April classes

Not to say it isn't so, but I have a hard time believing that in the span of a couple of hours that JM had finished filling the Mar 28 class and started on the April classes. When I spoke with her I specifically asked because I was hoping for the Mar 28 class on an outside shot. She was specific in saying that March wasn't even filled. Anyway - a wait by any other name would be just as painful.

Everyone seems to be missing the third step on Ivauir's checklist-

CLASS PREDICTION......................... IGNORE

So far Pegasus and Ivauir have a much better track record at predictions than JM. Anyway, even if the classes are full she hasn't called the people in them yet, so we may still make it in...
