Sorry to hear you did not get it, yet. I think many here can relate to a time when it felt like rolling a gigantic boulder up a hill only for it to roll down when near the top. In any case I want to commend you for your determined and positive attitude. Hopefully you will be able to join the family soon.

I don’t think you have anything to base this statement on, and there is no reason for our HR department to do this. Rumors are just that, and I wouldn’t take any stock in them.

HR or even the CP's Office may have had nothing to do with it. K4 has done some one off weird things over the years that no one even on the inside understands. That really makes them no different from any other airline at the end of the day. They've all pulled rare form moves like this over the years with interviews and hiring that defy ration, reason or logic on any level. My friend who's been there forever has told me some crazy stories about old man Connie's famous decrees. The tradition lives on I guess.

Frankly, the more rationale explanation is I think this is Covid-19 related. While K4 may not be totally suspending hiring, the no classes until May or beyond says a lot. They simply may be trying to stack a list of poolies they consider to be the best of the best for when they resume classes. We have to look at this like it's in the recession, which basically it is now. Anyone that was hiring was able to pick from the absolute cream of the crop and why shouldn't they? Wouldn't you if you were running a company? They very well may have originally had every intention of doing normal interviews and hiring most if not that entire interview group, but this Covid-19 craziness hit and changed everything. Remember, it's not just about demand for crews, it's also about availability of instructors and training facilities. A great many sim instructors at all the contract training sim companies FSI, CAE and Boeing are in the high risk age group. Kalitta may be able to run indoc then have nowhere to send anyone for sim until this stupidity over the Beer Virus is over.

That's all just my opinion based on rumor and 2nd hand knowledge. No facts there so please don't pound me too hard. My sciatica will act up!

I qualified my post with a "If true", not as "fact" for this very reason. Not my intention to speak as if this is fact. The post above suggesting the Covid virus throwing a wrench into the works is perfectly plausible.

You are stating that they never had a chance as if it is a fact. You have no idea. And who is to say they only hired two?

ImmaAHole

Well, time will tell. I am hopeful more were hired. I would think more would need to be hired for them to entertain a class.

RUUUUUUUUUUUMORS are just that... rumors. About time you closed that pie hole of yours and stop spreading false information. Nothing you have said is correct.

You know, that is great advice, I'm shutting up my pie hole. Should never post without a level head and emotions under control.

Nope, not on the hiring board; I have nothing to do with hiring. I am close enough to those that are to know everything you’re speculating is not correct. If they could have, they would have hired all of them, but for various reasons that was not the case. The people they call and ask to spend money to come interview are all people that they want to hire. If you knew any of the people that decide who to call and invite, then you’d know that none of them would invite interviewees in with no intention to hire them. They are people that work in FLT OPS not HR, and are some of the nicest people you’ll meet at K4.

I believe you, I'm going to shut my pie hole now and let my emotions calm down.
