One rumor going around is September, but then again that's just a rumor. They love keeping everyone in the dark, which seems to be a uniquely VX thing. Every other airline is open about hiring plans.

This is strictly rumor. Supposedly from an informed source. ( I don't know the source so it's probably bull pucky). 27 captains and 95 F/Os soon to be in the training pipe. Take it for what it's worth (nothing).

Thank you, all.

In order to keep this thread's theme in tact, I've started another thread for those in the pool.

Being that you'll most likely be on reserve... you probably won't really break guarantee of 75 hours x $53/hr. That's $3975... Minus your tax bracket, insurance, 401k, what have you... $2500-$2800 if you don't fly much, and $2800-$3000 if you include per diem.

Any idea what VA is looking for in their candidates, qualifications wise?
I am a 121 LCA with Sim Instructor experience, with more than enough hours, been applying with no results, yet F.Os at my company are getting calls. No red flags in my background also. I live an hour away from SFO.

I believe that those that are highly competitive are the least desired as they're probably afraid you'll bail if you get the call from a legacy.
