Friend of mine interviewed and got the nod last week. I think he said late March or April for the class date.

Did he mention that it was expressed specifically in an email? I was told from National that they would be pulling from the pool for classes that start at the beginning of March, April or May. Nothing since then.

Nothing specific as far as class dates. With 2 more airplanes coming on line in May I can't see them waiting much further past April to get these classes going.

What are the times, and types of the gentlemen who got the nod? Also did you have an internal rec.?

5200 TT
3000 PIC Turbine
1 type
BS ERAU
One Internal rec
91/135
currently in the pool.

Congrats, I haven't heard anything back yet myself, but I don't have any TPIC either. Are you currently an RJ Captain?

I interviewed about a month ago and was offered a class date A few days later. Unfortunately still no word when that will officially happen. I've heard April 1st , but I doubt it. They are running three classes with 6-8 people in the Each month for the next 3 months. No I'm corporate. No 121 experience.

Um
 

Low pay, traveling abroad in economy, Afghanistan, CH11 and the report on Bagram is not out but its not good in the twittesphere, might be good reasons to think twice.

One recently quit in training and some of the people they are getting are having trouble in training including an already 747 experienced guy.

I honestly would think hard before going to National. Sorry, i hope not to offend but companies like National, Kalitta, Southern and Skylease, are not good ops.

Rumor has it that the other MD11 op (Nordic/World jet something) are getting 400s.

Braniff.... Kalitta is a lot of things but to compare them to Skylease... get a grip

Thanks for the response and congrats again!
