We had a 767 new hire quit recently the day before his first day of OE availability. He had two job offers from the majors...

Wow, it's crazy the way the tide turns... A few years ago as a RJ FO I was trying pretty hard to get on there, didn't seem like they would notice anyone without a few thousand hours PIC and an internal rec.

How bad are the pay and schedule at Florida West? Is it similar to Amerijet? I sure hope not.

Anyways, best of luck...

you never know. I got hired a few years ago as an RJ FO with little PIC and zero internals.

I don't know anything about Florida West except that they have one airplane. I know a guy who came from there and he said it was awful.

Word. I'm not an RJ FO anymore and have moved on to other things. I don't know much about FW but if it's anything like Amerijet...yikes.

Rumor is that written test invites started going out late last week for some WAI attendees....

Class
 
Any other rumors going around about classes? Still floating in the deep end here. Trying to find out some sort of schedule but haven't heard anything from company. Have recurrent and PC check this month and would like to save my existing company a bit of money if I can. It would be stupid for them to have to pay for sim time if I'm only remaining a few weeks.

The rumor is no classes in May while they catch up on the OE backlog.

Last I'd heard was no more interviews til late May/early June. Any truth to that? I took and passed the online test after WAI but it was the week of the March interviews before I was able to do it.

That is the word. No new classes- as there are upgrades in April- May... Interviews in June

Attended the last WIA fair

Just got the email for the online assessment today. But with all the drama, I'm kinda hesitant about jumping into the waters now.
