Do they pay for your airfare and hotel to the interview?
For those who've interviewed recently, are they treating you with professional courtesy, or are they rude?
Also, the only place I've heard they are hiring is here. The website shows that they are not hiring pilots. Can anyone politely speak to this?
I've been in the training center most of the month and they've been interviewing about 4 days a week. There has been one new hire brasilia class of 20 per month since July. Sept 30th there's a 20 person CRJ new hire class along with another 20 person Brasilia new hire class. They're also upgrading 10-20 per month.
The interview team right now is almost the same as its been for the past two years. When I interviewed with them they were extremely courteous and fun to interview with. They give you a full debrief at the end with the things they both liked and disliked and they give you a good idea of whether you'll get an offer or not. That's a lot more than I got from other airlines I interviewed with.
They pay for the flight to SLC. They don't pay for the hotel but they do give you a list of hotels where you can get the discounted crew rate. I believe I paid $65 for mine.
