Wedding Issue
 
I should have all of my flight time within a couple months. I am getting married in October. I know that interviewing and trying to starting training before that would be out of the question. But is it too much to interview prior to the wedding (maybe a month or two) and politely ask for a class date after the wedding and honeymoon? I'm trying not to be pushy but want a job asap.
thanks

Nope, I interviewd with a regional in January and asked for my class date in May and they were cool with it. Gave me my choice in class date when the time came around.

It really depends on the person doing the offering and the state of the airline. Most people are sympathetic and will do what they can to accomodate you, so it's certainly worth a try. I guess I look at it like this, if the airline isn't willing to work with you on such a big event in your life then is it really the place you want to be?

Years ago, when my husband was hired at a regional they called and gave him three days to get to class. Yup, three days. He asked for more time to give his present employer sufficient notice, but they told him to "take it or leave it."

I don't think that mentality is universal and really it's anybody's guess as to what they would say to you. But seriously I think the odds are in your favor.

Congratulations on your wedding!

I guess it's a good thing he took it! ;)

That is debatable! :D
