Has anyone had their recs called from Oct interviews?
Nov 17 DB

Friend of mine interviewed on Oct 6. I was a rec for him but have not been called. Don't think that's a good sign.

They started calling mine pretty quick after the interview. They only called about half of them though. Basically only the ones I had flown with. I have heard that just because they don't call them doesn't mean you won't get the job.

Keep the faith

Some of my recs were called, some were not. No rhyme or reason involved so try not to read into it.

December new hire class date rumor still alive???

 

[GuppyWN]

We rarely have classes in the latter part of the year to start with..... and...... with a 6% reduction in our flight schedule coming in January I'd say you'll be lucky to be in class by July.

Now then. That being said if gas stays cheap and the bookings look up I'd suspect we'd hire 500 next year.

As of Monday, hiring looks slim to none for 8-12 months. Looks like we will be overstaffed for the first quarter. This is all subject to change pending fuel prices, economy, and how many return from military leave.

A few of mine were called shortly after my early Oct interview. Eagerly awaiting the Nov DB...

Boy if I said this, you guys would poo yourselves. BTW, I'm hearing that due to being overstaffed thsi winter, that there probably won't be a newhire class until Oct '09 at the earliest.

I wish, but i think not! I would say no hiring in '09. I hope I am wrong.

I think speculation is useless at this point...we are overstaffed for now, so I would not expect classes until March unless something happens and just about anything could happen at this point. Yields were up huge...maybe we add flights based on that and maybe we ride this instability out and see how the recession plays out...who knows for now

Question for SW reservists: If you get deployed during your probation year, does that delay your probation period? Thanks.

 

[Daddy]

Probation gets extended day for day for military longer than 29 days...still get 2nd year pay at one year point though. Probation is no biggie, but it's still probation

 

[bmxandjets]

thanks for the info-

 

[Bigoober]

Yep, great question and thanks for the info.

 

[Cubs Fan]

I believe the Decision Board met yesterday...Good luck to all!

 

[Accett16]

One of the Bros stopped by the CP office and said call outs from Monday's DB should start happening on Wednesday. Good Luck!!!

Good friend of mine is in the top of the pool and was hired over a year ago. People Dept just told him not to expect a class date until next fall.
