Which Major is Best for a New Hire?

[Iflyamouse]

I'm assuming most, if not all, majors will be hiring off the street in 2011. If one had a choice, which major would be best to get hired at in 2011 and why? (I know 'best' is relative, but let's assume pay, seniority/advancement, and retirement are the criteria)

I'm particularly interested in which is better between DAL and AMR (assuming AMR starts hiring) but would be interested in what's going on at other airlines too.

 

[Bob Dylan]

AirTran.

 

[bizicmo]

USAir

 

[BLUE BAYOU]

I wouldn't bet on AMR yet, they have quite a few recalls to go through before they hire off the street.

Just pick the worst one, things change.

The best one is the one who offers YOU a job.

Jetblue

then AA does a pre packaged bankruptcy in the next two years, dumps eagle, buys jetblue and gets over 200 new planes overnight and over 40% of the market in JFK, dumps 5 billion in long term debt, walks out of the filing with over 10billion in the bank, all the guys over 63 take their packages and sail off at the rate of 1000 a year with depends and ensure to look forward to

Within 5 years you are sitting 777 international fo making 200k a year undder their new cba

 

[Guppy Guy]

The first one to offer you a job. Seniority is EVERYTHING!!

 

[CA1900]

I thought being owned by Delta was everything?

:laugh:

 

[TDK90]

Which majors give you a full type rating rather than an Sic?

I heard JB does not, Ual does, what about DL and AA?

 

[catIIIc]

Other than DAL and SWA what other majors will be hiring next year? I know at UNICAL we will not be hiring until retirements kick in and if we lose the arbitration we will probably won't hire for the next 10 years.

 

[Chubaka]

Mesa..........no wait, MESA SUCKS!!!!!!

 

[Trogdor]

US gives a full type to the FOs.

tell that to the skybus rangers.

not if that airline goes tits up 3 years later.

If it's going to be your last job, have some standards and at least aim somewhat high.

 

[Mr Hat]

I agree, you should always aim high and get the best possible job you can. I'd suggest Pan Am, Eastern or Braniff to name a few. Avoid Continental....that place it terrible!

Thanks, AA, UNICAL?
