Here's my best shot:

No. Not really. Around 6/month, although I hear there is one more class for 2006 (although its filled up) and then the next will be 1Q 2007.
--New hires get what base? Can you get Philly right after Grnd School?
That seriously varies. It could be yes, it could be no. You can probably get it within a few months though, depending on attrition and vacancy awards.
--How long after sending app do you get call for interview?
Depends on you resume, quals, how much they are hiring. With hiring slowed, I would think it would take awhile unless you get someone to walk it in or stand out in some way.
--Are they Big on if you're currently flying? (I'm ex-airline and hi jet time but haven't flown in a LONG time)
No idea. I pretty much though all airlines wanted active pilots. One thing - they do like former 121/135 guys so you'd stand out in this respect.

Unless you know somebody or Have a CRJ type it will take a very long time to hear back. I know some people that have sent there stuff in over 7 months ago and havent heard anything. I am current 121 and havent heard anything for months. Like other people have said, they are not hiring a whole lot anymore and they like internal recs. If they get the midwest flying that could change though.

good luck!

Sorry to rain on the parade but from what I hear, they are snatching up UND graduates like crazy...Also if you are a UND grad they will take you at 500/50 with the CRJ course...So I really don't know whats going on with other peoples apps because from what I hear, they are still hiring.

I didn't go to UND and had no one on the inside, but I sent in an application last spring... had an interview within 3 weeks and got the offer the very next day. There aren't currently any classes planned until 2007, but we are still accepting resumes and interviewing. An internal reccomendation goes a really long way here... possibly further than flight time.

Um... no, sorry for the mis-communication. My interview was June 6th and I started class on the 26th of June. I finished OE mid September and now I'm livin' the dream on reserve.
