Training dept manager but as he said things change day by day best of luck!

 

I thought so too... figured the forums might enjoy it as soon as I got that email.

So.. the ATP grads hired at AE... probably furloughed from somewhere else, right? What's the real story?

 

I actually interviewed w/ someone who was an ATP instructor and was not a furloughed 121/135. He actually had only been instructing for about a year if I remember correctly.

 

Got the call yesterday with an official offer. I interviewed on Feb. 17, so just over a month wait. I was told the March 29 and April 12 classes are filled, and to expect to go sometime in May.

 

Congrats!! Whats your background and times? 121/135/CFI? Hoping for any base/equip in particular? Welcome aboard!

 

Do you have proof or you just heard this story from people that did not make it through the interview process. C'mon guys, don't fall for this, come prepared, relax, and be yourself.

 

No proof but quite obvious to me, I was there. The girl was telling her story about how she failed out of Colgans training. This is actually normal for flight attendant interviews. When the door closes, everyone lets down their guard. I don't believe HR is stupid, its a great way to see everyone when they think no one is watching. If you read the instructions for the interview, it says, "Don't talk to each other." Looking for personality, not just knowledge.

 

What a load. There was no one in the room with us except the interviewees and we all made it through. Oh yeah, and we spent about 90% of the time talking about dirty girls, drugs, and failed check-rides. Really, not true.

Oh and the thing about the spies at the Admiral too! Watch out!

 

I heard when they fly you down for the interview, they sent a spy to sit next to you on the flight. They also hire a PI to follow you around the week prior. jk jk In all seriousness, it's a no brainer to be professional during all phases od the interview, whether in the presence of hr or not.

 

I interviewed many years ago with a certain carrier headquartered in the southwest that is now embroiled in a terrible merger with an east-coast based carrier and they had a PR person staged in the cafeteria section where pilots were told to wait while waiting for their interviews.

I was quite obvious to me, but not so to several of the other candidates there blabbering about this and that and with their professional guard down, so this practice is not unheard of, although I have not heard of it employed at Eagle.

In my experieice, I was amused to watch the nice young woman sitting in front of a barely touched tray of food away from everyone else, but within earshot of the waiting pilots reading a book................during my 20 minutes there waiting, she never flipped a page. To me anyway, it was totally obvious.
