Pilot Hiring:
26 interviews/week
12 hires/week currently, about 4 months from hire notification to class date 1st class has gone to 76T and A320
11,700 active applications
Average regional quals 6,000-8,000 TT, 5,000-6,000 PIC
Pilot retirements: 10 yrs - 4,000 pilots, 13 yrs - 6,000 pilots (50%)
Thanks for the update RVR, any idea why only 12 out of 26 are getting selected? Is it a yours to lose type deal or do they plan on only selecting a certain percentage regardless of the performances they get in their interviews?
