+1. You are a wise man etflies. OP: Congrats and welcome, I'm sure we'll see you around.

Congrats...approach training from a building block approach and not let yourself get overwhelmed...basic indoc, systems, systems integration, gfs, sim, oe, line check COMPLETE! You will make lifetime friends and learn more than you might think you could have before your journey into 121 flying began. The company isn't perfect, and we are in a very painful post-accident era of constant changes, however, we have a great group of folks by and large with great flying opportunities. Welcome aboard:-)

Yeah they told me Minneapolis on the phone yesterday but the letter today said yet to be determined. Who knows I'm ready to get started and they told me also either q400 or Saab

Wow! I almost choked when I read that someone was getting picked up by Colgan. I figured that with Eagle and others lowering mins to 500/50 that all the guys higher than that were gone. So with PinnaColAba being 1000/100 (right?) they wouldn't be able to attract anyone. That and folks know they are getting a turbo prop (oh no!) unlike the possibility of a jet elsewhere.

So may I ask, what persuaded you to come to the dark side? Congrats to both of you, or all of you, whatever the case.

Maybe they realize they aren't good enough to fly a jet.

Or maybe they want to live dangerously and fly in the wx every minute of every flight.

Or maybe the lure of exotic places like Del Rio is too great.

Or maybe they think Chuck Colgan is still hiring FAs.


(if you new guys don't get it, I am being sarcastic. Welcome aboard, and good luck. )

Well, 14 new hires are going to be able to get the Q and I want to know if I they are getting it in this class. If they do, then I want bypass pay.

Chit, I knew something was up with this last batch of FA's... Chuck used to troll the malls and recruit, I guess now they just troll the food court.
