Thanks for the correction. I was thinking 9 people would be a little small for a class size. Were the ATRs offered for SJU?

The three guys seemed pretty cool with it.

Got a chance to catch up with them this week.

Rumors of AE increasing hiring to 50 pilots per month starting Jan 2011. Get those apps in!

Picking your base and aircraft?

When do you get to pick your base and aircraft? First day of ground school? Last day? I am interviewing at AE soon, and if I get the job my only concern would be getting based in SJU.
I am nervous about getting SJU because I don't want to live there down there and really don't want to have to commute down there. If it came down to it I think I would turn it down. I am gonna be commuting from PA or UT and have a family at home. I know life will suck on reserve, but I don't think I could do that. Even MIA would be a stretch.
Also, what is the average age of those in that class? I am 26...is that somewhat senior??

Thanks in advance.

I don't think that you would have to worry about SJU too much (maybe). However, be ready for ORD or NY.

Nobody was expecting SJU ATR in this class. Anything can happen.

I live near SJU and is not my priority geting SJU.

You have to be prepared for anything.

PD: I'm waiting for class assignment.

As for the age, I dont work there but if my company is any indication I would say you would be closer to the younger side with a few below you in age.
