Also if you are flexible with your class dates and can show up at a moments notice, let them know. When I was hired in March, 08 I moved up over 3 weeks and 15 numbers because I was able to show up when called on a thursday afternoon to show up the next morning at 9:00. They called because they knew I could do it.
Good luck and be persistent.

I don't know if that says anything about there preferences or practices... I'm sorry I don't have anybetter info than that. Good luck to all in the hunt.
Man, that is one sad state of our industry.

Just be careful which one you take. Research, research and research how the airline that you want to work for runs their financials. Wish I were 25 again and in your shoes.

It is in the realm of possibility that any regional in this day and age can be gone within a matter of weeks (especially in the DCI rat race). It is also possible that more planes are right around the corner. More important than research - luck.

500 121 pic
Has anyone recently hired been a little "short" on the 500 121 pic preferred time? Just curious as to whether any 121 fo's are getting the nod.
Which Domiciles seem to be the most popular with the new hires? Could one expect to get any one of them sooner then later?
Thank you

You have to remember that this is the same company that sent, " Thanks but no thanks" letters to people that were already in training and others that were online.
