The latest:Majors/Legacies: Who IS Actively Hiring?

[Voice Of Reason]

Anyone ?

I hate to be the master of the obvious......are you asking that question for reasons other than looking for a job? I don't think anyone is hiring right now.

Thanks. Helpful. Yes, MANY of us are looking for jobs...just wondering if ANY are hiring.

Since we ALL already KNOW everything, no point in this board I guess... A simple "no" will suffice from what you know at your own airline, thanks

jetblue stopped.

Not your question, but I think Connie is!

Unless you start looking overseas, the best you can hope for in the states is a right seat commuter job or a freight dog job.

Aren't you the one who got all busted up over the fat FA comments? I give you another week on this board before you fall off the edge of it.

And to be gentlemanly about it, head over to www.airlinepilotcentral.com and look at each airline individually for your answer.

 

[Voice Of Reason]

...so you're saying THIS website is unhelpful for such info?

Dizel---do you mean Continental (by Connie)--thought they were furloughing (another thread)

No UPS or FEDex?

http://forums.flightinfo.com/search.php?searchid=1793634 The topic is directed to major airline pilots about THEIR airlines...not to trolls that don't work there

Meant Connie Kalitta, as I said not your question, but the guy has an uncanny ability to make money and he is getting 744s, plus upgrading the 742s.

As far as I know, mostly from reading here, neither UPS or FDX is hiring, still trying to sort out the age 65 deal.

Looks like SWA is hiring again, probably looking at expanding in the vacuum that is to follow.

Great, thanks...
I would have thought the package carrying majors would be going strong. This whole economy sucks

Latest rumor is that SWA will be interviewing again this summer (Jul-Aug).

Anyone ?

:laugh: this guy....Oh wait. Seriously?

Hey guys,

Give the kid a break. Flight Options just decided to TERMINATE a bunch of pilots out of senoirity.

I'd probably start with the other fractionals first - Netjets (very long line), Flexjet and even Avantair. Not sure if Citationshares is still hiring. Then I would apply to Kalitta and make sure your SWA application is up to date.

Tough situation at FLOPS - but not surprising. I would have had my applications out long ago...

 

[~~~^~~~]

The Delta folks are still saying that hiring will begin again this fall. Supposed to be an advanced entitlement out in August with 737NG, 777 and backfills for those slots.

Don't know if that will remain true, but this far, the plan outlined a couple months ago is still the plan.

I would think US Air and United's request to delay China service might help bolster Delta's China flying.

Of course the bottom of the Delta list with a NWA merger on the near horizon is an "interesting" place to be. But, Delta is an excellent employer FWIW.

I would expect CAL to also hire again in the fall / winter. Might be a good time to get in line.

Good luck with your decision. What are you typed in?

Hey...easy there tiger. I just assumed you might be a grad student doing research or something. Perhaps a student pilot looking to the future.

As opposed to this board, Airlinepilotcentral.com has good (or better) info on who is hiring. JMHI

UPS and FDX won't be hiring for a while. You can thank Age 65 and limited expansion for that little detail.

Training department still says DL will be hiring late fall early winter of this year.. winter 09 at the latest. We all know these things change at the drop of a hat, though.

I believe NW will be hiring around the same time.

WN is supposedly draining their pool faster than planned and will be at least interviewing sooner than anticipated.

US, UA, AA, CO.... well UA and AA are talking furloughs and CO is a possibility. US I think is taking a few flow throughs but that's it.



So....Nope, none of the "majors"

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

double post...fat fingers.

 

[Voice Of Reason]

Thanks for the info guys...I am hoping to go somewhere outside the frac/corp world, but its looking a little slim. Don't want to be gone for a week at a time anymore, or deal with all the other 'busy work'. Just want to fly the plane and get home every few days or so.
Thanks again to all who gave good info. Flt Ops (once prided itself on employee retention) has gotten worse than anyone could have ever predicted. Anyone who didn't get the axe will be gone soon...there is no way doors can stay open long

Don't go to a freight hauler if you don't like being away from home for more than a week.
