Congrats!!!
 
Welcome aboard!! You'll find lots of your ASA comrades here at AirTran... Just remember you're now going to the other side of concourse C:)
 
I love a story with a happy ending.
 
It's all happy 'till reality sets in. Enjoy the truck drivers hotels and the truck drivers in the cockpit. Oh yeah don't forget to wear your hat!!!!!

I've been here long enough for "reality to set in," and I'm still very happy. I think most of us are.

that wasn't nice.
 
Judging morale is like diving scores.

Throw out the top score (the folks who are elated to be there)...

Throw out the bottom score (the folks who hate it)...

The look at the rest. Using that method I can tell you most folks are happy to be here.

A big congrats Ifly! Hopefully my second time around goes as well. Nice to see that they are giving second chances.
 
The interview was very easy. It was all tell me about yourself type questions. Give me a good customer service story. Give me a time when a flight started out bad and ended up good. Absolutely no pressure. 2 pilots and 1 HR person. They don't want any canned answers, that's for sure. If you can convince them this is the place you want to retire at, you should get a call very soon. To live locally, and have a 4+ year upgrade, I'm here for the long haul.

I'm coming from ASA. I know the truck driver hotels, and luckily I have always worn my hat.
 
Welcome !! Have fun in training... Mostly a good bunch at Tranny ! and for the truck driving thang... well... I like Merle Haggard every now and then... maybe even a little Boxcar Willy... Hotel committee is working hard to change some... respectfully, maybe you should vent your energy towards improving the issue dude.

Thanks for the info.........Getting a resume together right now.

I was looking at the list of those to be called for an interview and a large chunk (25% I think) had AirInc listed (vs online app, rec, etc). There were some guys that got interviewed on the spot but not in my class.

Don't know if this still holds but I'm sure it couldn't hurt.
 
If you have a heartbeat and appear to have no balls at all, they will hire you. They are looking for pu$$ys that will sign off on a POS TA. Good luck!
 
Congrats!! ASA was a great experience and I know you will have fond memories (and a few nightmares!) but glad to hear you are moving on.

cheers-rum

No! I disagree. You don't know when this individual got his job. Could it be that he got it right after 911 when none could get a job anywhere? AAI was a darling then, given that they were among a few to still be hiring.

Do you honestly think that AAI is the only airline that evaluates its candidates in this manner? I'll bet you that atleast half of them hire with that in mind. CEO's would love nothing more than to get an army of Koolaid drinkers to fly their airplanes. Cause the less they pay you, the bigger their bonuses get. It all boils down to dollars and cents.
 
You got it Minime, a whole different set of standards today (lower that is). I may be abrasive, but it would be great to see this group act like major airline pilots, not giddy little children who's expectations where met when they were hired out of the right seat of a turboprop. But these are the types they would like to hire to solidify this group as spineless. Direct from Embry Riddle ideally. Another bad TA, big bonuses, no unity, etc. It all boils down to $$$. How much of it we grab is up to us.

If it was so easy why did you have to do it twice?!

Good luck to you over at da Tranny :)
