You state a preference for the 777 or 737 at the interview. Which one they give you will be in the offer letter and is based on your interview, experience, and sim eval. This info was outlined in the interview confirmation email.

If you have a major airline interview in your pocket, DO NOT come here.
Is this for the 777? If they assign you RSV in CVG, who's paying for the lodging?

Make sure you practice hard for that sim eval. Those desktop sims sure are squirrelly.

A few other qualities an ideal candidate might possess;

A DUI.
A felony conviction. Or three.
A history of check ride failures.
A drinking problem.
A prostitute problem.
A spot on the legendary scab list.

Basically anything that would make one more or less unemployable by a reputable carrier, minimizing flight risk.

It's really sad to see such a legendary company turn into a Mesa with big jets. It's amazing to see how quickly it all fell apart.

Be warned. Management is not nearly finished in their attempt to squeeze every last penny out of you and make you work for free. And give up home basing.

Pay attention to what's happening over at Florida West. I think you'll get some clarity within a month. A fleet shuffle might be in the books.

In other words, BOHICA.

Florida West is non-Union. Don't be surprised to see a transfer of flying to that side of the house.

Actually, Florida West has an in-house union with a CBA. They also just sent furlough notices to 8 pilots.
