Well if we have to wait for an integrated contract, my guess is we'll be waiting for several more years. This company has absolutely ZERO incentive to give us anything:(

Still no word on an updated interview gouge? Anyone??

Mid-Late 06 DOH. Which put us at about the top 30 in DTW

I'm an XJ furlough, I never applied to Pinnacle during the initial hiring. I'm curious what everyone has heard as far as classes this fall, and into the winter. I'm working under contract until Oct 31st so I'm just curious if I could get into a class after that.

If you are an XJ furlough you should have been contacted by your MSA (XJ) MEC/furlough committee. There is an MOU for a job placement for furloughs with no interview and full credit for your longevity.

Yes I was contacted,

What I'm curious about is the projected classes for the remainder of the year. My contract finishes Oct 31st. The MEC said Pinnacle was only going to hire around 60ish by the end of the year, just wondering if anyone has heard if classes will be going into December.

I think that offer has come and gone. Either you took it or you didn't. Last I heard we were going to start hiring off the street as not enough XJ guys took the offer to fill the needed seats.

The MOU is in effect until july 1, 2011 if I remember the dates correctly (I know it wasn't a "only immediate" type thing). Contact your contact at XJ and you should be able to get in contact with 9E HR and put in for a class starting AFTER Oct. 31. Don't hold me to it, but I don't see this being a huge stumbling block for anything but seniority at 9E and total longevity.

Well I can understand that too. At my small company we have had guys on reserve for years too. Just bad timing for guys who got hired around 2007. They told me in the interview they want 65 guys as soon as possible and more to come after that. So who knows , this business has ups and downs

those of you who have interviewed, what were your flight times?
