The insight into the company was the best... the thread has put to bed some doubts I had, and I'm coming in with an open mind, looking forward to getting to work with some positive folks.
Again, thanks... hope to buy some of you guys beers. I look forward to meeting the other new-hires on the 4th in FLL.
You can buy me a beer.
It's so hard being patient with something that I've wanted to do for so many years and is finally in sight, but yet so far away. Someone from my class forwarded me an email from the CP regarding transition for those of us on the beech already:
"The preliminary plans at this time are for transition classes on July 2, July 30 and August 20 to move the people from the Beech to the Saab as a result of the Beechs being taken out of the schedule"
as a recent "...new hire you are seat locked for 1 year or until the next Staffing Bid comes out. The next staffing bid should be out in the near future and the seat lock will be released."
"As it stands now, you are fairly junior and would not hold the Saab at this time......You should be able to make the transition by August depending on the bidding process."
