All that may be true, but it is still a risky proposition, and guys have ended up buying very expensive tickets to get back to the States when their plan fall apart -- not to mention many days lost to commuting. It is certainly doable but be very careful as a newbie on probation.

That is a question that is not even on the radar...it is simply not a concern one way or another. In all honesty, there are many more pressing issues, and this one is simply not on anyone's radar as one that needs to be addressed. The dozen or so guys that live abroad are welcome to make their case to the negotiating folks, but how much capital they wish to burn up just to get something that matters to a minute section of our population is yet to be determined.

Congrats to all the poolies!! That's great to see peeps getting there, really cool.
On the other end, I feel sometimes like a looser with this company. I have applied since 2011, updated regularly the resume and paq. Never got any calls or emails. Plenty of 121 rj time, 8000TT, 900 jet PIC, 1 job fair, 1 internal, nothing to hide, perfect record, nada...
I keep the faith though. Will be at OBAP to say hi, see if that helps somehow... if not, I'll start giving free carwash in the emplyee lot in purchase, NY or something.
Squeeky wheel get the grease, this one has been squeeking for a while now.

And not only what you said, but there are definitely ways to make gateway/whatever better for all pilots, including ones overseas.

It doesn't have to be either or, the right language benefits everyone.

I know you're in agreement that this group is sick of clauses benefiting a small slice of the group to the detriment of the majority.

Does anyone know any potential class dates after Aug 17th and 24th? After this Aug 17th 767 class, will there be more 767 hiring or will it be mostly 747 for a while?

More interviews planned for the end of August. The latest is 747 class every three weeks, 767 as needed and when OE is caught up.
