I'll let you know when I hear something.
I've been hoping for the phone to ring since the announcement in April and I've been reluctant to commit myself to anything serious knowing that this could happen at any time. I don't want to accept a position with someone who is going to invest an enormous amount of money in training, only for me to leave in a few months.
Also unsure how the review board will look upon my lack of currency for October through March.
Just hoping to hear something soon so I can make some plans.
i know a lot of aviate participants who are getting very discouraged and seeking out other opportunities. Guys interviewing in May and starting class in June , getting seniority over people who have been working their asses off waiting patiently. The ots hiring will continue, further pushing every aviate participant down the list .
Another post awhile back said that Aviate is just a recruiting tool and something used to keep you in line , reduce sick calls etc while you wait for a call. Until these guys start moving off the list , I’m inclined to somewhat believe it .
