Just interview today. Went great. There were six of us today. CC said they hope to have a captains review board this Friday and the following Friday's. So far they have not called anyone to set up a class date because the review board has yet to meet.

She said as far as today, a Feb. 15th class is still likely with 8 new hires. March 1st is probably after that, but not sure how many would be in the following classes. This hiring was pretty much unexpected so they are a little behind on things right now. She'd like to give the first class at least two weeks notice, so hopefully the CA's can organize and get together this week!

She didn't know about equipment or bases either. They have 600 apps they haven't even looked at yet, so be patient if you're still waiting on a call.

 

Do you mind gouging your experience for those of us who wish to have one as pleasant as you?

 

Cool. Congrats man! thanks for the info!

 

I brought my Logbook pro to my eagle interview. I have all pre 121 stuff in pen in real logbooks. I brought those plus a print out of my entire electronic logbook, which includes a copy of the original logbooks + my 121 time, which is electornic only. Eagle had no problem with it. The guy that looked at it with me actually said it made his life easier, because he didn't have to check my math.

 

joethepilot- How did you bind your electronic logbook? Did you pay the ridiculous amount requested by nc-software or did you use something like fedex office? Just curious because logten pro recommends nc-software and the logbook(binder) is outrageously priced at like 150 bucks! Thanks for the heads up.

 

I had a similar setup - pre 121 was ink and my 121 time was a logbook pro printout. I went to fedex office/kinkos and had them use resume paper + black covers on each end with a spiral binding. It cost ~20 bucks. Regular laser paper costs ~14 bucks. The guy that reviewed my logbook liked it, so unless you're dying to burn cash there's no need to blow it on nc-software's turnkey service.

A few pointers that may or may not have been mentioned:

1) For all jobs in the last 10 years, bring addresses, phone numbers, FAX NUMBERS, dates of employment etc.; this helps immensely
2) study jepps
3) know your current aircraft
4) study up on regs (when can you start/continue an approach, alternate mins, rest requirements, etc.)
5) If you're thinking about applying, or are awaiting a call, get transcripts and 5-year driving records ready to go as these are hard to get last-minute
6) Don't go rollin' fat blunts and getting hammered before your medical :-P

Good luck to those that haven't interviewed yet, and to those that have, I'm with you anxiously awaiting the CA review board. It was nice to meet all of you on Monday!

 

I have an internal rec 1400TT 1200 Multi Turbine...hopefully ill hear something...do they call u for the interview?..or email you?

 

They'll call you.

I'll try and get a gouge up later today on one of the gouge sites. I'll let you know.

 

Hey guys. Quick question about the application. For the references for unemployment, did everyone put references for when they were in middle school if it fell within the 10 years they were looking for? I was 14 then and started my first job when I was 15. I explained that in the unemployment section that followed but is that enough? I have a tough time of thinking of two professional references when I didn't have a job before then. I just don't want that to be the reason why I don't get a call. Thanks!

 

write it down, they do not want any gaps! (middle school, seriously?)
