[QUOTE=DrJekyll MrHyde;3130656]I would not be surprised if your contact in HR is gone. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that there will be zero continuity, so I think your hiring pool still has legs but you’ll be treading water for much longer than originally planned. The company is cutting manpower for the foreseeable future (through March), I imagine they’ll be concentrating on getting pilots on unpaid leaves back into their seats before they start addressing new hires again.[/QUOTE

I'm already planning on another six months to a year before F9 brings in anyone new. I'm already back in school to try to finish a degree and am enjoying more time with my wife and kid then ever before.
I just don't like uncertainty. Being told that the pool is gone lets me plan one way. Being told that I am still in the pool lets me plan another way (they did call me yesterday to let me know we are still in the pool). Uncertainty leads to an inability to make plans, which I am not a fan of now that I have a family.

And for any other April class folks, if you aren't flying and are worried about currency, look into the Civil Air Patrol. It can be a pain, but once you get through some of their training stuff, if you get checked out as one of their pilots, they receive federal funding for you to maintain currency. A couple hundred bucks up front, and you can fly a couple hours each month for free. Just an FYI.

Edit: Anyone that is currently in the pool, please send me a message. I am trying to put something to gether to assist our communication between ourselves.
