Junior ORD guy is a May 2016 hire. I would imagine that there won't be any new hires getting ORD initially on the latest VSA. I think there are probably quite a few people from subsequent classes who probably want it.

I was scheduled to be in this class. Four days before class started, HR called me and rescinded the job offer. No explanation was given. From what I understand, seven other people got the same treatment.

Did they rescind your class date or your job offer all-together?

Hey MichiganFlyer - I'm sorry this happened to you. And you're fairly sure it happened to a lot of others too? What makes you think this?

Rescinding a job offer out of the blue 4 days prior to class sounds too evil even for our management group. I'd love to hear if there are parts to this story that remain untold.

@ MichiganFlyer: Did you fail a background check? Did someone blackball you? Did you post somewhere that you're using F9 as a placeholder?

I'm not accusing MichiganFlyer of telling half the story, but I've seen it enough to ask the question before I start piling on our management group for being pricks.

If F9 withdrew an offer with zero provocation only 4 days prior to class, I would think it would be increasingly difficult to fill classes at all in the future. Everyone tries to give 2 weeks notice to the employer they're leaving. Rescinding an offer only 4 days prior will really put folks in a bind.

If this is what happened to MichiganFlyer, believe me, you have my sincere sympathy. Nobody should be treated this way and I will certainly keep this situation in mind the next time F9 management wants me to do something above and beyond what's mandated in our contract.

There has to be more to the story. There is no way that they just took the job offer away for absolutely no reason.

According to another person in the class this happened to bunch of others too. I don't have any direct info from the people affected however.

Fair questions.

I was very honest with them during the application and the interview. There should be no issues with the background check that I am aware of.

I was truly hoping/planning to stay at F9 for over 10 years.

There should be no blackball that I know of.

I gave up a fairly senior captain slot at my regional to go to F9.
