Takes some balls to be on FI during your interview

"Tell me about a time _______"

Some of us get to do both, and would like to see squadronmates get hired.

I think that is great, as long as nepotism doesn't take over in the hiring department. Example- Hr department looks at hiring interviewers and says WOW, look at the retired F-16 AF academy grad/Former regional chief pilot. Then goes on to say he is the best person to put in a hiring position. So what follows???? The whole internal nepotism thing happens. So having a balance is key to having the best pilot group. I have always been a civy pilot, but have learned a lot from my military bros and vice and versa. We are all equal the day we arrive to the Majors. No pilot is better than the other.

You mean you don't want more Top Gun grads yelling "You're dangerous!"????

I was told "about 100".

as of yesterday, strait from the source, 49 people in the pool. They are looking to hire more but they are waiting on the SLI to finish (hopefully by September 15th) then they expect to really ramp up hiring, unless all LUAL guys come back...and thats highly doubtful.

They are still actively interviewing

Are they just adding to the pool and waiting for the SLI to be complete before assigning class dates then?

Classes scheduled to run through aug 27th will depend on number of furloughed pilots filling remaining slots. I expect classes to take a pause and pick back up late fall.
