Postponing a interview for expressjet?

[Rally]

Hi,

Hopefully some xjet guys can help me with this. I have my first airline interview tomarrow and because of personal reasons I really can't attend the interview. Do they have a problem rescheduling an interview? I really want to interview with them but I just can't with my original date.Any input.

Thanks!

Dude, if you can't go, you can't go. Just call them and let them know; if you feel comfortable discussing the circumstances, then do so.

"she" will probably tell you to resubmit your stuff, go back to the bottom of the list, etc.

I had to do the same thing because I had a sick child. She rescheduled for me but told me it would be in my file. I went to phase three but did not get the job! I think putting off hurt me, but family is first! I will reapply. Do what you think is right. There will be more chances.

Do what you feel is right for you.

Ask your self if what you need to get done instead of the interview will mater in five years.

Then ask you self if the interview will mater to you in five years.

Make the call which ever it might be.

Actually what it came down to is that I just did'nt have any time to prepare. I just moved across the country and I had less than 10 hours to sleep, add up and audit a years worth of logbook pages. Then from reading the gouges you had to be familiar with jepps I've never even used one in my life. It goes on and on. I'd rather postpone (if they'll call me back soon hopefully) and be prepared than go in there and waste theirs and my time. And what would be worse was making a impression that would be negative and reapply and they remember me from last time, kinda of like "if you were'nt good enough the first time your not gonna be good enough second time." In my belief they want to see some preparing for the interview and they are using that to see whether or not you'll make it in their training class. I just did'nt have the time.


Thanks

Is that what they want... Someone who takes the time to prepare for an interview?

Good call, man. Get your logbooks up to date and keep them up. Fly IMC, get recurrent, and even spend some time on a PCATD if you must. Read up on the abreviations for the Jepps and brush up on your regs. Good luck when they call you up again. Don't sweat it.

How long have you been scheduled for the interview?

I had a week, and 3-4 of those days were spent moving 1300 miles! The other 2 I went all over town getting prices for suits. And it left me with very little time to prepare.

Indicative of how our Labor Relations have been going down hill at Express for a while now.

Just imagine if you worked here and you get "disciplined" because your child is sick. Nice compassion for the employees huh?

Kinda like how they want you to call in sick but still note it in your file and then call you in for a disciplinary hearing if you get sick a certain # of times in a given time period.

Here's an idea.....if they give you grief...tell them you'd just rather work elsewhere.

Besides, everyone who is applying here right now is just proving Jim Ream's (XJT CEO) theory that he can find "poor silly souls" to do the flying for the low pay.

Labor relations? I though that Dawn Daniels made the calls and was part of the interview process. She doesn't have family to understand someone who might have a problem at home and still want the job badly. That (Dawn) would be a "co-worker", not management (for now)...Plain deepsh!t

Who recieves all her direction and "authority" from H.R and the Director of Labor Relations. Even the Flight Ops guys are pissed about the leeway that HR has taken with pilot hiring. That's why they pushed to have line pilots be part of the interview process.

It's also a problem negotiating our new contract where HR/Labor Relations and Flight Ops have come to internal strife as to who is actually running the show.
