Any one has the most current info on training: class sizes, background of pilots, training department, pass rates, junior base, time on reserve etc...
Thanks!

Anybody know how often they conduct interviews? I was just offered one for next week (under 24 hours from when I put in my app!) but am unable to attend due to military TDY. I also think they may have overlooked the fact that I'm not available for training, etc. till the Springtime since I'm still on active duty. Any info would be helpful, thanks in advance!

Interviews have been almost weekly in phl. I'm sure they are willing to work on your start date if they like you. We will not be stopping with hiring.

I am staying at the weekend layover hotel in ATW , the hotel van driver told me this afternoon that there has been a steady amount of new hires coming through for ground school classes , he thinks about 12 new hires every two weeks , he seems to know this because one or more of those new hires are staying at this hotel , Radisson Apple Valley hotel in Appleton , WISCONSIN

I didn't even apply at AirWisconsin, but got an email offering me an interview date. They must have gotten my info from a job fair that I attended.

All new hires stay at the Radisson. 12 NHs is now a low number...we just increased class sizes dramatically...current indoc class has 17-19 and the January classes will be double or more.

When I interviewed years ago was told I'd sit reserve for at least a year. I ended up with two weeks of reserve with pre built lines. Sometimes you just get lucky. If I ended up sitting right seat at a regional due to some unforseen events, awac would still be my 1st choice.
