did you have any internal recs to get your interview?

 

Yes, I’m almost sure 6 out of the 6 people that interviewed that day did. During the board interview they also asked how I knew them and if they had ever flown with me etc… Which I know them both really well so I guess it helped. If you have someone willing to recommend you I would suggest you get them to submit it not only through the airlineapps.com process but also send a typed recommendation letter via email directly to HR. After my buddy did that I literally got a call 5 minutes letter to schedule an interview. I was still on the phone talking to him after he submitted it and got the call on the other line… So I’m guessing they are big on internal recs. Best of luck!

 

Is it quiet enough up front in the 175 to wear a telex 750? Or is it like a CRJ or ERJ?

 

Some people do. It's quiet enough at cruise altitude but pretty noisy in the teens and 20s. I still wear my peltors.

 

I wear a Telex 750 single side onthe CRJ 700! After a few flights I got used to it and love it, the only time is hard to hear is when the other guy is wearing the Dave clams that the company provides and he doesn't want to get the mike close to his mouth when we are climbing above 300 knts below FL 300

 

That should answer your question, if you were asking about a CRJ 700.

 

I wear the 750 in the 175. Works great through 10k at which time you run your flow which includes ripping that sucker off your head and turning on the speaker.

 

I'm the opposite, I hate the 750 in the 175. Maybe I'm just too hearing impaired already, but I can't hear crap with them. I found everything has to be turned up really loud to hear AND understand. I also cringe every time the altitude alerter goes off if I'm wearing them. You can rip your headset off at 10 and listen to the speaker that is behind your head, I'll be next to you enjoying the peace and quiet of my Bose.

 

Zing!!!!!!

 

Eh, I wasn't necessarily praising the performance of the 750. It does its job, although nothing out of it is spectacular. I just don't feel like dropping the coin necessary to purchase a Bose quite yet. I leave the headset on to talk to all of you Bose snobs (just joking....and a little envious), but in the meantime, I'll keep cramming the 750 in the inside flap of my flight case and look upon you active noise cancelling bums with much scorn and resentment while you insult me at a lower level than my unprotected ears can perceive. Now, in an attempt to keep this thread on track, no new news from what I have already seen here. Compass flying appears to be shifting back east (as we all knew it would) with emphasis on LGA. Bid packet is starting to outline that for July, but most of you probably were already aware.
