When 207AX COMES OUT OF C check 225AX THEN 234AX FOLLOW RIGHT BEHIND EACH OTHER SO AGAIN NO GAIN OF AIRCRAFT FOR AWHILE.

Kenya Airways is also looking to sell 2 777-300ERs. A quote from the article:
"This disposal, including that of two Boeing B777-300 planes, has however been delayed following a court case by KQ pilots who argued that the sale will render them jobless while some negotiations fell through within the period."

I was about 5 minutes away headed home (I drove to interview) and got a congratulations email.
About two days later, i got a call and assigned an aircraft and a class date of Feb 8th.
Hope that helps.

[QUOTE=stickwiggler;2046779]OK, so here's the deal. Most people that I spoke with said their experience was being told Y or N right there on the spot. They didn't do that with us. They said they would let us know in a day or so.
