For those interested in USAA, I'm one of 8 new hires who just finished standards week in Denton this week. From what i've been able to see so far, this place is great for those looking to build time fast! The language barrier on either side (contract/international) looks pretty intense but i'll be treating it as a learning experience. Instructors here fly a LOT, i think the average we were told was 100 a month. Standards was fast paced and informative, I feel prepared after a week of class work. They do appear to be hurting for instructors due to the amount of instructors leaving(built time and moved on)/ and the amount of students coming in. I'm pretty sure they had students assigned to all of us the day we got here, just had to pass through stans/written/checkout flight. Overall, seems like a good place to be(disclaimer: again, i'm a new hire) but the staff seems very chill, instructors build time fast, and you get your eyes opened by flying around the dallas/ft.worth bravo with students whose english skills may be (are) questionable. Ill post an update when i've been here a little longer and have become properly jaded.

USAA Fleet
Just had a fleet question for those currently at USAA:
I see they are currently selling all of their Diamond aircraft on Trade A Plane and I wondered if anyone knew what their future fleet plans are?
Guessing Diamond are not going to be in those plans

'Tis true... The diamonds don't fly nearly enough to quantify their existence. My guess they will be replaced with more cessna products.

Two quick questions:
First, I sent them a resume about two weeks ago, and heard nothing back yet. Do they prefer an application over a resume, or does it just take a little while for them to get back to us?
Secondly, I have everything but my MEI, which I'll be doing as soon as I get employed. Do they still consider you if you only have your CFI/CFII, or do you not have a shot without your MEI?

2. USAA certainly considers CFI/CFII and you can get your MEI on the job.
