Couldn't really tell you where previous Phase I/II interviewees stand.. My guess would be they will take any near term new hires from those that already are in the "pool" of applicants that interviewed. They did that with our latest 2 classes.. (probably more cost effective than re-doing a whole interview process and sorting through applications?)


I would guess when the NEO's arrive there will be a "re-opening" of the online application window..

I don't know what the staffing plan is for 117. What they did for Jan and Feb was to increase the min line values from 75 to 80 hrs. and increased the max line value from 90 to 95.. Basically the more senior guys who normally get 85-90 hrs a month are now getting 90+... but at the expense of their typical "senior" # of days off.... Same amount of work with less man power.

That forced nearly 25+% into reserve for most categories.. (CPT and FO).. Instead of having the typical 18-20 FO reserves there are now 27 or more on the 767 side. There are guys who have had lines for 1.5 years sitting reserve for the time being. I am starting my third straight month of reserve in February.. Can hardly remember the last time I touched a control column? Maybe beginning of December? I've had 2 RO trips so those don't count.. I'm pretty close to not getting my 3 landings in the past 90.

Hopefully they stop flexing the line values up.. I like getting paid to sit home. Unfortunately I'm not set financially yet to not need the extra cash a line provides.

Hang in there.
