I have just completed the app online. I filled the typical previous employers, previous addresses, etc. when I completed the initial bit, I was then able to apply to a particular open position, ie . Pilot. Then as I clicked as it told me to do, it only finished with 'your application has been submitted.'

I was never able to submit flight times. there was a page that stated the mins during the app. that allowed me to continue if I met the mins.
I am not talking about the initial page with the mins ; before someone can start the app.

anyone have advice or same experience?

Yeh, I noticed that it didnt have an area for flight time either, but maybe they want it on the resume that you download.????

 

ah true, it was on the resume, but not the typical flight grid type thing.

 

greetings potential applicants;
as much as i like the pay, the schedules, and time off at abx air, remember that we are talking about a company that hasn't hired in 6 years. that said, it should also be remembered that the qualifications to be a chief pilot do not require rocket science, common sense, or gray matter above the neck and between the ears. these are the guys who assisted the computer geeks in the creation of the online app, something they didn't have in late 1990s.
hopefully you will get called and the matter will get straightened out. good luck, and remember to study everything you can about the company, because i have actually heard chief pilots comment that they didn't know some facts about their own company until they heard it in an interview!?! (see what i mean about the gray matter?)
let's have a good turnout and get some new hires on property!

 

Thanks, nice post!

 

Yes please!!! I could use a little seniority.

 

can anyone confirm or deny the rumor that they are planning on hiring 30 this year and continue hiring into next year.....

Like I said, I heard this came from a bottoms up meeting but cannot confirm.

 

I have pretty good intel but am waiting to see some light before I divulge all the info...here's the jist...ABX wants 16 B-767 F/O's yesterday and HR wants 50 random F/O's by end of year...Also, don't be surprised if KIX 767 Capt. goes real Jr. Take all that with a grain of salt but the intel was from inside...

If/when I get a job offer...I'll spill my guts ;-)

 

hjs1971,
come on, do tell.... by the way, did you interview?

 

I was told interviews start this upcoming Tues. and no, I have not been offered an interview. Not much intel out there, I don't think it's because they are trying to keep it a secret, it's like recce said, they haven't hired in 6 years and "them newfangled computer thingys" have changed the way everybody does applications and hiring (see USAir, NWA, UAL, UPS, etc.). If and when I find out anything firm, I will post it here.
