I get that quite often when saying that I worked for a smaller company that flew both passengers and freight using B-727, B-737, A-320, B-757, B-767, DC-10 and A-330 aircraft over the years. "So, would you ever consider flying commercially?" I just politely explain that it is all commercial.
Honestly, I could not care less. Its the same mentality of the "We sat on the runway for 3 hours..................................." I just smile and move on, its just not worth it.

I thought that hiring was supposed to continue for most of this year. Anyone know what the current hiring plans are - I mean this afternoons- to be changed twice by tomorrow morning!

Kinshasa, Point Noire, Lagos, Bamako, N'Djamena, Urumqi, and then of course all the various war zones, soon to be war zones, and just finished being war zones. In other words places that suck. 
As much I might complain, I prefer that kind of flying to going to DFW, Philly and Atlanta all day, but I am in the minority according to my buddies with whom I stay in touch and drink beer.
I'm going to take a guess that there is a "didn't" missing in that comment since I frequently get asked by new acquaintances if I am a "commercial" pilot or if I fly freight, i.e. a "real pilot" versus a freight dog.

So while you guys that interviewed are waiting, is it to soon to be checking the phone every five minutes just one day after submitting my resume? 
Hoping I get to meet at the grill sooner rather than later!

(And thanks to EVERYONE who has contributed to this epic thread. It's amazing we're 611 pages in and still on topic with minimal to no sniping going on. Says something about the folks here... Delta aside. :-) )

Talked with someone I would consider a good source for hiring information. I was told upper managers that are normally involved with hiring will be "in meetings" on and off over the next few weeks and unavailable for interviews. This person believed interviews and classes would start back up by June.

For those of you disheartened, JohnnyKnoxville's info would certainly qualify as "hiring for most of the year", right? Common guys, that's the glass-half-full attitude...
BTW, I've made a career out of flying "rubber dog-$hit out of Hong Kong"...and I don't regret one moment of it.

LOL! When I used to instruct, the assistant chief instructor offered a crash course in aviation to the local media. No takers. They like their ignorance. "The aircraft was a late model Cessna twin-engine Pitts Special".
