Guys... look around. Hiring is the last thing on the company's mind right now. I truly hope you all get hired. But it'll be some time.

I'm aware. I'm not expecting or assuming that we will get a class date anytime soon. It will be nice to be "In The Pool" and have some news focused towards the companies plans for us for when the event's do inevitably change. In the meanwhile, everyone stay healthy out there.

sorry man, not trying to be jerky.

we're all waiting on the "plan"

I would consider a pool position at JB to be essentially worthless at this point in time......the problem is JB has that "we expect you to class up after the second date offered or you have to reapply" policy...if they work around that problem then perhaps pool status will be upgraded to economy class. They want it both ways...they want to drop us at a moments notice (i.e. current classes sent home), and then have us instantly drop what we are having to commit to when and if they ever call. What if they call in 12 months? 18 months? 24 months? Is there still a list that long? Who knows...i'm not holding my breath.

its called a choice. Most of the time it’s good to have options

If I'm reading your posts correctly, it seems like you're not even on property yet. Look around you dude, policies are changing daily around the industry. What was current yesterday may not be current info this morning. I highly doubt that moving forward once this all clears up that JB is going to stand by a policy that was created during a booming time in the industry. If you don't like the policies and/or procedures that a future employer (JB in this case) has in place, then I'm sorry to say maybe this place isn't for you, or to look elsewhere since it's entirely you're choice. I'm the last person to be a company cheerleader but you're acting as though they own you something, while many are volunteering for reduce pay or unpaid lines in order to keep the ship afloat.

I get that you and others in class might be frustrated, but most people are just hoping to have a job at this point. If this is your attitude before you even get on property, I'd hate to see you 6 months in.

Sounds like this place isn’t for you. Maybe try another airline when hiring resumes 3+ years from now.

Are you saying you should keep refusing a class but stay in the pool as long as you want?

That's your complaint?

I think frustration with the situation is running high for everyone. I would much rather be "in the pool" vs lingering in Phase II as I currently am. There is still value in completing phase II and going past the PHC. I have no illusions of getting a call anytime soon but it would just be nice to have that stage complete. In the meantime, I'll focus on the current position I still have and look out for my family. I'm fortunate to have a good position where I am (and hoping that doesn't change). Many others are not as fortunate.

Every airline expects you to "drop what you're doing" when it's time to go to class. You're either in or out. You really think after the second opportunity they'll continue to waste their time with you? come on man.
