I dont know what was done in the past but like the below states, we were given hotels for everything including the interviews.

The company.

I was told before I even started that I would be provided hotel and per diem as long as I wasn't based in MSP. No one in my class was initially assigned MSP so we were all given hotel rooms. I was given space positive travel and a hotel for the interview. Then once I was hired, I was given space positive between MSP and home every weekend while in training, hotel, per diem, full benefits, and a 75 hour guarantee from day 1. Everyone else hired at NWA in 2007/2008 was given the same thing. The one bad thing I was given was a longevity date about 2 months after I started so I was on first year pay for about 14 months.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what he said

The pre merger NWA contract did not state otherwise. We were given positive space training to/from home, full paid hotel, per diem, & a 75 hour guarantee. Also, we were given it from Day 1 of training.

We were also positive spaced to/from the interview & provided a hotel the night before the interview. I was treated very well.

Update for applicants.

A message was sent out saying the last day to apply is DEC 15th. This is supposed to be when the application window will close. The latest message also said they interviewing about 10-12 per week and will be running classes of 6 every other week till the end of March.

Can anyone elaborate on the mins from the jobs page? it says 1500TT, Flight ME

What exactly does "flight ME" mean? I have ATP mins but relatively low ME time.

Anyone know the times on the guys getting interviewed?

Thanks.

I just got hired, 2500 total, 1600 multi, 1500 part 121

Dont' see "flight ME" on there. Are you refering to FAA ME ATP? Not sure if that is what you are asking about but that means a ATP certificate checkride taken in a Multi-Engine aircraft, not single.

The Flight ME thing came from the job website, after clicking through a couple pictures it had a page with min reqs, and also preferred reqs....It must be a typo

I am surprised they are not picking up any furloughed netjet guys.
