Good luck to you xjhawk a lot of us would just love an interview call right about now but you almost have it worse. Usair has the worst interview process, from the third party system that picks people randomly to the waiting game you play to see if you have a job.

Maybe the application process is bad, but the interview is great. It's about as stress free as an interview can be. Nothing like the meat grinder that is the delta interview. Sure waiting weeks to hear 'yes' or read 'no' sucks, but I would take that over nervously standing in a delta lobby watching the failures make the walk of shame past you any day.
 
No news is usually good news. The classes are just full and they want to call you with a class date, not a # for a pool.

Training backlog? Or do they have enough apps for the year?

Exactly this. Show up prepared and willing to have some good conversations and the interview is a pleasant experience.
 
I will have to agree with how I was treated during the interview. Everyone I met was great to have a conversation with. I have only talked to one person who did not get the positive call and he was not pleased with the interview and actually had negative things to say about his experience. I could almost not believe what he said because the exact same people interviewed me and I had a totally different experience. I am still waiting and can only know that I gave my best effort in preparing for the interview, gave my best effort during the interview (except I almost forgot my coat in both interview rooms as I do in all the planes I fly) and can only say I will try again if I am not successful.

Good luck to you. Given your attitude you will break through!! :)
 
The attrition is a little overhyped until a few years down the road. This year I think hiring is equally based on wide body growth, 5 e190's growth, and training float for shutting down the 737. Keeping in mind total frame growth is zero when excluding 190's and a lot of 65er's are already out on MLOA, the party has barely started. Pray for no shrinkage 18 months post merger......
 
xjhawk, tell me you got the call! Sending you good karma!

Me too. I hope XJhawk gets the good call. He deserves it. Getting on now or early at any legacy before huge retirements would be a great thing.


Bye Bye---General Lee

Anyone know what aircraft they are hiring into in the upcoming classes?

It's been a mixture of narrow-body Airbus and E190s. It depends on what they need on the day Planning walks into class. I doubt they'll putting any more newhires into the 737.
