Hiring is supposed to have started this month...

OK, thanks. So is there a class (or two) going on right now?

Congrats Jet Jockey, if you don't mind me asking, where did you come from? Do you have lots of PIC time, and how many recommendations did you have. Thanks

You don't need any PIC at CAL. I know 4 new hires who don't even have ATP's. You must however be WELL connected. Line pilot reco's does not = well connected. Look for training center and Smith Street folks and you can get an interview. After the interview, you have about an 80% chance of getting the job.

I think you meant no TURBINE PIC Time....

Would you mind posting the Base/Equipment assignments after you start? Enquiring minds want to know!

We have classes running (about) every week. Although things may seem quiet externally, it is going double time in Houston, Seattle, Miami and Dallas where we are often renting additional sim time. You can get an interview with a referral from a line pilot and they are taken very seriously. Any connections you can make with a Continental team member can assist you greatly in your networking efforts. Our internal referral process is fantastic but with the number of resumes on file and referrals in it can take some time. Keep updating online and make any effort to meet Continental folks. Interviews are done at all bases CLE,EWR and IAH. If you get an interview go up and meet the flight crew they may just be a person from the training center or HQS. Good luck--- this is a great place to be.
