I sure hope we hire soon. With all the extra flights dumped into open time, fo's quitting, and taking deliveries, it's going to be real tight if they don't hire.

A few went to a legacy carrier and I've heard of one that left for some type of non flying aviation job. It's not a whole of guys leaving, just a few here and there. But it concerns me because most were very junior and there's no one to fill their space.

Thanks for responses! I was put in the pool a few months ago and was hoping for some news.

No. Just some PSA guys posing and gloating in front of an Envoy plane. It's from the "PSA's finest" thread.

Default Update on new hire classes?

Hi all,

First, let me thank all of you for posting here. It's been a wealth of information and help.

I was hired into the Virgin pool two months ago and haven't heard anything on a class yet. The guys I interviewed with haven't been told anything, either. The HR department is, understandably, tight-lipped on the matter, and all I've heard is rumours.

Does anyone know of a new hire class coming down the pike? Also, does anyone have any suggestions of a place to live—besides the Red Roof Inn—while in training in SFO?

Thank's again.

Royal

I have heard hiring toward end of year beginning of next year.
Most likely you will be given only a 2 week notice to start class.
