Was told today by somebody currently in initial that the plan is 76/month starting in June and lasting until just before the holidays.

I know some classes are all E190 and some are mixed equip. Any idea/info on what the classes moving forward into June & beyond will consist of equipment wise? And how can one select a class if they only want the bus?

Would you delay a class for a bus slot and give up that seniority? Even knowing the 190 seniority moves way faster, you’d get a like much faster and you’d make more money as a lineholder 190 guy and could go to the bus at the 1 year mark?

Never pass up a class date for a *possible* different aircraft. In fact, I can't think of many reasons to ever pass up a class date...

3. Can't remember the last one he said, but I think it was your video answer not matching what was on your application (i.e. all the sudden you're disclosing a training failure that you hadn't previously disclosed).


2 and 3 make sense. It is basic interview etiquette. I’m not buying 1. I was in a polo shirt and just made sure all the kid and dog toys were clear of the camera frame. Who wears a suit at their house?

For what it’s worth, I was in a mixed class and the 190 went to the top guys and everyone else got the bus. Even the plug...You don’t know what others want to bid. Take the first class and be happy you are here. It’s only a year, if you don’t get it. Your QOL will be 100% better on the 190 as a newhire too

Every single pilot who is serious about getting hired, that's who.

Wear blue gloves during your video interview! You’ll be hired on the spot!
