Southerner, on the other hand, is probably a somewhat rational person. Unfortunately, rationality doesn't really stick on APC. Anyway, keep it up Bluedriver. I know this is supposed to be a thread about November interviews but, I guess as long as you're puking your rot into APC, the world is temporarily free of you spending your energies elsewhere.

Says the guy that is definitely NOT at JB.

By the way, read my posts from 2011-2012 regarding JB, NOT negative. Experience with our rudderless deteriorating environment is the difference.

And Southerner rational! Wow.

Btw, there are many more who have negative things to say- We may not be miserable, but we also dont bury our heads in the sand like the same 4 or 5 juicers posting here.

By “close to one of our bases” he means BOS or JFK. No future in LGB, and no progression in the FL bases.

So does attrition. People are finally getting calls allowing them to escape this place. Don't quit updating your apps......many of us have made that mistake.

Is attrition picking up? I've only moved up approx 25 spots in one year. I'm guessing it's the under 1 year group that are getting the calls because my phone is silent. Just had to check to make sure the bills have been paid.

The most recent pool update seemed to indicate that Novembers might get called this week. Anyone?

I think the advice is solid by some take the job come in expecting what it is an east coast focused airline (we aren’t opening a Midwest base anytime soon) and keep your apps updated. I still think we have a solid future here but it’s a time game with that contract and management does not seem to be in a hurry.
