Don't underestimate the power of JetCareers.com!!!!

Can you explain.....

I just found out that one of the guys I interviewed with who had 750 hrs also got hired yesterday. He was an ATP instructor so about 650 hrs of that was multi. Don't know how the low time guys are doing in the training but I plan on busting my ass, memorizing all the flows, profiles, and limitations before I show up for class on the 25th. I'll let you know when I get through....

Congrats man, all the best for training. And GOD I can't wait for the day when people judge pilots on their flying skills rather than their total time. Good for you.

OhForSure

When are you assigned a base? In GS?

 

[Alchemy]

At the end of training from what I understand.

Chances

What are my chances with right at 600 hrs total but 400 multi. I am also an ATP instuctor?

 

[Alchemy]

Just fill out the online app and find out. There's only about 10 question on the thing, might take 5 minutes tops.

Its my understanding you find out what your base is the first or second week of ground school.

Five of our guys went to Express jet in the past few months; all went to Newark. Three more are on the way up there.

I used to go to that site all the time, but lost it about 4 computer crashes ago (Bill Gates is the anti-christ!!)

Good site, look forward to browsing it again.

Hey, does anyone know what the training situation is at xjt?

How long is it?
Do they pay you a salary?
Living expenses? Food? breaks?
location of ground and sim?

thanks

 

[Alchemy]

60 days, no salary, hotel paid for plus $1400 spending allowance, sims at xjet training center but may be doing some at flight safety due to capacity issues.

 

[suupah]

xjt center is in houston?

I was called back three weeks to the day I applied online. There doesn't seem to be any consistency to the system. Some get called in one week, others three to four weeks. I was asked to fax my resume, and then was called and given a small phone interview asking basic questions based on my experience. Basic IFR ?s, and some multiengine aerodynamics/ac specific ?s. I have several friends who applied online only two days after me and still haven't heard anything back. I applied online on 9/7. Don't really know how they do it, but they don't know anything about your flying from the online app other than you meet their mins. It sucks, but start studying and just be patient. You'll get the call soon enough.
