You do have to get your own underwear, undershirts and socks too! :D

Not Bad :p

Waborita congrats as well. See you there.


Can any guys who went thru recently confirm that the "brown" uniform shorts for package day run 2 sizes too small.
Hate to have to look like I am in brown spandex for day two.
My buddy said they it looked like they had 21 "fat guys" trying on shorts on day 2.

Don't forget they give you a flight bag and choice of sizes on an overnight bag as well. Albeit it is not the nice leather ones we used to get.

Congrats to all with class dates and even those in the pool. Wish I was swimming with you. Here is my question. I submitted my app in April, along with the rest of the free world and was wondering how long the wait usually is for the interview call. My background is retiring mil, with exp/types in T-38, C-141, B-707, B-727, B-757, Ce-500 and G-IV. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Good luck and safe flying! Moondog.

Moondog.....

There is no "usual" wait which makes it frustrating. It could be days, weeks, months, based on folks before me. Nobody knows. HR said they have just over 1500 apps on file and they plan to hire about 100 more this year. I've heard some theories that the computer software picks you for interview (perhaps at random) and then the online rec helps you get hired. I've also heard that inside connections will help you get the interview. Personnaly, I would put more stock in the first theory. Get as many inside connections and recs as you can! I waited 7 months to get the call to interview. Be patient and keep sending out those positive waves man. Best of luck to you.

i cant vouch for others but i applied in the apr window, assessment 1 may, called for interview about a week later, interview at beginning of june, awaiting results of whiz quiz and background check for possible 2 jul class..a buddy of mine had a similar timeframe..

good luck

Heard Buzz chased a DHL guy down leaving today to offer him 2 Jul after his interview pending and immediate/old school whiz quiz. Sounds like a good place to be. Yep, the pants and shorts run a bit small, or maybe the celebration dinners post hire got to us.

Any idea on the numbers for next year?

Thanks Peter and Shizz. Was afraid you'd say that. Guess its just wait and cross fingers.
