There were only two women which were cabin safety folks. There was an almost even mix between the ops side and maintenance. There were just a few airworthiness and a few avionics folks as well.

I wanna say that only a few were recently out of the military with the majority having been out for years. There were only a few folks still doing the reserve thing.
With respect to where everyone was from...Let me see what cities I can recall:
Anchorage
LAX
SEA
DTW
DFW
HOU
ATL
MIA
NY/TEB
DC
CAE

I seem to recall that many had their paperwork in for a long time and only a few for a short time.

There were only a few air carrier like me, with almost 90% heading to the GA side....
With that age range it sounds like they mostly are hiring people with a good amount of experience in the different specialities.
As far as air carrier -vs- GA - - is that a request you make when you hire, an specific announcement that you apply for, or a chance to move between the two during the job?
