I know that when I’ve used my non-Omni email address to communicate with HQ, it often gets captured in the very intense security web around our email system. I’ve received a reply 5-6 days later starting with an “Oh my, your email was held up in our security layers!”
The person handling hiring & HR is insanely busy, so I’m not surprised you’re not hearing back…but it would indicate a probable TBNT in my humble opinion. I, like those in my class & those just before & after got rapid offers & upon acceptance, the on-boarding process began almost immediately.
best of luck in your future endeavors.

If given a class date later mext month, we should get ourselves there the day before? Im assuming they will let us check in the night before class starts? I want to buy tickets, but havent heard from the company since submitting my paperwork per the cjo.

Are you asking whether you should arrive the day before your initial training starts, or show up the morning of the first day of indoc/goundschool?

If it were me, I'd make sure I showed up at any job early, rested, and ready to go, and I'd be calling ahead to see what reservations are made with the hotel, and if you don't have one the night before, make it yourself. It goes without saying that. you should be ready and rested the morning of the first day of class, which means getting there at least the day prior to get settled in, get your things prepared, so that all you need to do the first morning is arrive in class, ready to learn.

I can't imagine commuting or flying into the training location the morning of class, to start indoc and groundschool for a new employer...get there the day prior. Also, if an employer hasn't followed up with you, and the time is getting close, would you not want to follow up with the employer? I certainly would.

I can't believe we are making people get themselves to new hire training..... is this really accurate?

I'd email them to clarify; they probably just haven't booked travel yet. They typically don't book travel until 3-5 days in advance.

I don't know, but the last three large operators for whom I flew left it to me to get to initial.

My comments were toward the question regarding arriving the morning training starts, or the day before, and I don't think there should be any question that one should plan to arrive the day prior. Even if an operator doesn't book the hotel, and the poster above didn't address that; one should show up rested...if it were me, I'd arrange to be there a day early, and if a hotel were not provided, I'd make sure I got it the day prior myself.

The hiring world has turned itself on its ear. It wasn't unheard of for operators to have new-hires get themselves to class, keep them on a new-hire wage until training complete, etc. I saw recently that skywest, I believe, was paying something like 120,000 in a new-hire bonus for a direct entry captain, and they paid it before the new-hire arrived. Additionally, the new hire was expected to attend one day of indoc to get a seniority number, then take six months off, before actually showing up for class. I can't imagine how that works out enforcing repaying such a bonus if the new-hire doesn't come back, or what kind of securities or guarantees are in play, but whatever the case, it's a whole different ballgame when it comes to getting bodies into classes, compared to a few years ago. Keeping them, too.

More and more I find that counsel I've long offered to individuals in the industry, is either no longer relevant, or needs re-thought given the radically evolving industry practices. Showing up for a new job rested and ready to go, however hasn't changed, and never will; it's simply good practice, no matter the employer, or even the industry.

I totally agree with John. You want to be there well before, be well rested, be prepared. You should not risk showing up late. You should not want to start fatigued. This is a multi-million dollar opportunity you have in your hand. Don’t screw it up.

Demonstrate you are mature and make adult decisions.

You will get an email about 10 days out. you get $100 towards your plane ticket. Hotel is booked by company and starts the day before. Class is 8am-5pm except the first day you meet your instructor 7:30am and get keys to company van for your class.
