Darn, if I didn't forget to ask the question I was actually posting about. I'm told the company authorized recruiting to pay a 7500 bonus if the 5000 doesn't get people to come. Is the 5000 working or are people waiting to it to go up to the 7500 or 10000?

 

10,000 is chump change when you think about it. If your base pay is 22$ an hour, then factor in 10K minus taxes divided by 12... It's really not much considering the QOL.
In all honesty look at the work rules...Ask people how they get paid, I can tell you at G7 nobody knows exactly how they do (avg block time LOL?). Ask people about work rules involving RSV. With little to no growth in the future (people bailing left and right) that's your real movement it's not looking good.
Half of all the flying is farmed out from momma Delta, if you **** her of she will just move it somewhere else and from what I hear she's got her thingy in a twist.
I would go anywhere that has potential for growth, ignore the cat calls, get your time and move on. Nobody at the Majors care what regional you worked for.
Do you have the time, no accidents incidents, good record, good attitude, ur hired.
My 2 cents and that's all it is...good luck

 

Anyone know if classes are scheduled through the rest of the year? Jan 2015? Hows staffing?

 

We are understaffed on the FO side (just like most regionals). Not sure on the CA side.

Classes should be 10-15+ for the for seeable future.

How long does it usually takes to be called for an interview once the application submitted ?

 

someone many have more up to date info, but I believe it's a very quick turn around time.

 

I've got a friend that applied a couple weeks ago... No skeletons in the closet and well above the minimums. No call. I wonder what gives?

 

Just like any other place there may be some box checked off wrong in the airline apps or some box may not be checked at all. Airline apps does some wonderful things at times.

Also, things are still not quite normal yet since the water incident at the HQ building...

A phone call or an email to Kristy Basham will help a lot in this case..

Just call & ask for her, leave a message & ask for someone in recruiting & get her email.

 

Water incident? Haha I laugh because when I interviewed the fire alarms were going off.

 

It took me about 5 months to hear back... but yes HQ is pretty messed up so that may be a factor nowadays.
