Hey guys, got the call from Steve Taylor on 7/25 and got the job. Was told to plan on a class date of 9/10. Anyone have that date confirmed for thier class yet? Second, he said that he would be sending out an info packet - how long did it take to recive that after you got the call? thanks for your help --

Nothing against the Saab, just that I'd rather not learn a totally different plane and be PIC in it when I've never flown it before if I don't have to.
I'm an '05 hire, and I could probably hold the jet if I waited a year or more if the seat locks hold. However, I will take the saab upgrade, because you have to ask yourself. Do you want to be senior and hold a decent line as a saab captain, or do you want to be the most junior jet captain?

i was told to expect a 9/10 date however he said no one will know for sure until 3-4 weeks before class, he gave me a 90 percent chance at it

the packet i think gets mailed to you about the same time you get the official date. I am not sure but maybe somone else can say for certain

An excellent point. When the time comes, Ill have to weigh out all the variables, including that one.

Got called on 7/24, told to expect a class of 8/27 or 9/10 but not confirmed yet. I haven't recieved the packet yet either. Hopefully will show up soon though.

I'm thinking about applying. I meet all the minimums except I am 3 hours short on the 50 hours of multi.

Is it worth applying now? Can I update my resume after I get the extra hours or should I wait to send my app in until I actually have the posted mins?

i would get the mins and apply, i think if you are under mins and you fill out an online application, the computer tells them there is something wrong (just 3 hours short) and may automatically send you a rejection letter
