Thanks, everyone! I interviewed on 6-7 July. Head of New Hires said that he didn't know why the background checks were taking this long (3 wks), but a lot finally came through. I now know of 3 from our interview group that have been cleared.

Interview Today

I interviewed today, unfortunately did not get hired. With that said word from the horses mouth was that if we did get hired today odds are against us starting before next august 2011, and that was not a firm, it could be later. Reason was the October classes would be the last one and that more furloughs were returning than previously estimated.

FYI

Not trying to worry anyone just wanted to pass it along.

Well, 100-150 more guys on the bottom is better than 0 more on the bottom. If we can control the hiring so we don't need to furlough then all of us will be better off even if we are on reserve for awhile.

I still think there is something weird with the way they stopped so quickly that guys who had already interviewed are now not needed for a year. Something's up and I think that the MEC will be talking about that tomorrow. The Alaska conspiracy theorists have me wondering if we will be going through another SLI before next summer.
