Yes, reapply. There have been several recently who have been successful on their second attempt.

Any current pilots know about how long of notice VX gives when they schedule a class date for you? Im in the pool right now, and havent heard anything since the drug test 3 weeks ago. Just want to make absolutely sure Im not missing something. I cant wait to give my notice at my current employer, and wondering how class scheduling has worked in the not so distant past.
Thanks in advance for any info guys. Hope to see you on line soon.

new classes

There has been a class scheduled for the middle of aug. Only four guys and gals. But the next class I hear is going to be quite large, at least for us. 14 people with another just as big a couple weeks later. If you're in the pool, I would expect to hear something pretty soon. I am pretty sure they give everybody 2weeks notice these days.

I want VX to grow and grow big I have alot of friends that work there and enjoy it. If I could I would work there. The company I work for sucks...

Based on how we typically do training, I would guess on average we would do two classes of 8 each month between September and June. Some months maybe more, some months maybe less, depending on sim availability.

I got my info from the guys doing the ground school. And then it was reiterated to me by a check ailment that I am flying with. I just rely info I find mostly credible. Things do change around here pretty quickly though.

I have a quick question on Pay.. Has the company provided a pay increase since starting up? Other than the yearly (Step increase) is there discussion about a possible pay increase?

Thanks
