Guys there is one person doing pretty much all the work for all the training schedules even the ones currently in class. She is even working overtime on the weekends. It's not that anything is wrong, it just takes time to process that many people.

"BTW anyone got a line on crash pads in MEM??"

WIFlyer, shoot me a PM. I live in MEM and may be able to hook you up with some resources. Or at the very least, I can tell you which parts of town to avoid.

It just isn't a city we want to live in so I am hoping to bid Minneapolis as soon as I can and just commute in the interim.

BTW anyone got a line on crash pads in MEM??
Do you know what a/c you will be assigned?

An August class date will put you in the 700 range. Depending on your availability, you could potentially see a class date sooner than August.

The list is 622 strong today. May 21 class will add 5 (CRJ), May 28 class will add 26 (SF3), June 4 class will add 9 (CR9).

Do you know what classes they are projecting farther out?

Guys, if you're worried about having to wait around for class dates at XJ, don't be. If you want in quick, there's a very good chance you'll get in quick.

As far as what they're hiring into... so far, it's been a little less than half in the Saab and the rest in the jets.

Classes are pretty much every two to three weeks. I don't have specific dates, but It looks like we have been adding about 40+ bodies per month into training.

I hope I get a class soon, things have been a little tense with my current employer ever since they got the PRIA request. I also just heard that someone who interviewed a week after me got into the May 21 Class.

Emailed resume and got a call from HR within 20 minutes. Offered interview two days later, but had to wait until the next week Wednesday interview session because of schedule. I was offered the job over the phone the following Monday afternoon. Not told equipment or class date with apologies that plans are not in place yet. Have been waiting, now one week, for the packet in the mail. Was told class would probably be early to mid June.
