So lame! We lose good people because of these shenanigans. Who cares if we're staffed! (Which we're not) the list moves quick and we're always around the corner from another staffing catastrophe, especially heading into 2019.

We should be like Frank the Tank when it comes to future classes

'FILL IT UP AGAIN!!'

Having flown at Republic before I came here I can tell you that most there will appreciate the wave. We used to wave at each in and out of the alley at ORD all the time although it was just a simple, one handed wave. To the crew holding short of Tango on Echo today as we made the turn from Tango onto Echo, my apologies for the one handed wave. I was driving but please know that I was waving with both hands in spirit!

So, although I don't want to, this thread seems to suggest I'll have to wait til early next year to start if I ever get called, and I want to get back in the 121 world asap so at least now I know I should give up and take one of the other offers.

Bums me out. Compass would be perfect for me. :(

This is correct. The recruiters are more focused on other workgroups than pilots right now. I walked out of the CPZ interview and into a group of 10-20 maintenance personnel waiting to enter the room. The pilots hired that day were given training classes in January/February 2019.

I feel like you do, CPZ would've been best for me too. But on the bright side I might be out of IOE in time to fly the CPZ guys that did get the job to MSP.

Someday technology will evolve and allow the two handed waves....someday.

So how does this so-called wave look like, Mr. snack basket guru?

Well... there is a small legend/myth... a saga if you will..about this.

When we wave to OO, we usually get an icy glare (there are exceptions). One day a CPZ guy was gettin no love from OO on the ramp so he did a double wave like a crazy man, like this https://goo.gl/images/AcxxP7, it became a compass tradition overnight. So this is how we wave to each other and still to OO. We even got it added to the emoji database 🤗🤗🤗🤗. It's how we cope with not being mainline like OO.

So i dont think UA rumor is gonna happen.
As for Republic if it happens, cant wait for cross-beed start while taxiing.

Looks like we have to keep waiting... :/
