Why would the vote effect anything like staffing? Planes are coming, they run this place bare bones as it is, we need pilots. The vote will not affect staffing, do you think just because we vote in a union that we will stop getting planes? Not me.

Earlier this year, we had a meeting with the CP and HR with them saying they would tell us when the application window would open. It opened that same night and they still haven't told us about it.
Sometimes I don't think the ones in charge even know what is happening with the window opening.

Sounds like typical airline management...thanks for the info! Greatly appreciate it.

90% layovers are either SFO or LAX. Those 2 hotels are like my second home.

Pretty much a long leg across the country to SFO or LAX. May have an additional shorter leg to LAS or SFO/LAX (opposite what you flew into). If it's a 2-day trip then it's transcon back next day. If it's a 3 day then days 1 and 3 are similar to described just now, and middle day is up/down west coast stuff. If it's a 4-day, the 1 and 4 is similar as described for 2-day, and days 2 and 3 are either up down west coast, or an additional transcon to east and back --- out day 2, back west day 3. Eg, one leg days, JFK-LAX, LAX-BOS, BOS-SFO, SFO-JFK.

I never attend a Job Fair.
Qual. 5860TT, 250 PIC, 2300 TT in Airbus, experience flying in South America, Bilingual. APT and ICAO license, currently flying F/O A319/320, so that means the qual. are not at all. You never know what are they looking for that specific day. 4 people writing every single answer from you, and I guess after that they mix them notes, check and decide who will fit at Virgin.

APC is slow to update. It was true probably when that update was submitted but the window is closed right now. The plan was to hire 36 FOs Jan-April and then "an undetermined amount" starting late Summer and into Fall. I would imagine the window opens up real soon.
