When to call/email?
I am looking for advice on protocol and etiquette when following up with the hiring department of a company. I recently interviewed with another regional carrier and felt it went very well. I felt like the job was mine when I walked out of the room. I was told to expect to hear from them sometime last week, but not to worry if they didn't call then. Tomorrow will make two weeks since the interview and I am considering following up with them. Is it okay to do this and if so, how would one word an email? Advice from anyone on hiring boards especially appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Did you do this? If not, get one out.

It would be nice if it were the other way, then the OP wouldn't have this issue.

Yes - the INTERVIEWEE could/should send a note to the INTERVIEWER.
Ah.....words!

Do it for any potential employer. Somebody in HR will open and read it, that will remind them that you are interested as well as calling attention to yourself in a positive, acceptable manner (as opposed to calling and bugging them every day about when you can start).
I suspect some AAirlines would likely disqualify you for failing to follow up.
