I went to the one in MIA today, few facts:

NO more DEC Direct Entry Capt for now.
Want to hire 270 F/O for 2009-2010, and 475 for 2011.
Interview pass rate is 42%. Full medical and BMI below 30 is a requirement.
Mins: the 2000H multi -engine, multi-crew jet that does not appear to have a min weight as it is not detailed on the web site is in fact 2000H of jet more than 30T! This was confirmed today during the presentation.
The question was asked: if you have 2000 hours but on jet below 30T could you be invited at the interview? No, not at this time.
That pretty much take most of the US regional jets pilots out, except if you fly the bigger ones... Not a good news, nevertheless they said that they understand the dilemma for the US regional pilots, that in Europe and the rest of the world commercial pilots progress to bigger jets faster and that is putting us at a disadvantage, so it might change in the future.
I wish the weight class would have been specified on the web site.
Big expansion plans, no more housing problems.
The people doing the presentation were fantastic.
The room was relatively small with all seats occupied and people standing.
