I interview on the 22 AUG with CAL...any Advice?
#11
JSTARS - can't help you with the sim - I had the MD-80 sim and did the prep with the clown that used to be in Dallas. However, I do believe you can now do the 737 sim prep on campus with Ray Brendle. Maybe some other folks can shed some light on this...
For the panel - I prepped with Albie Hagan @ emeraldcoastconsulting.com. Outstanding prep - it was a series of me listening to some prior prep's and then a 1 on 1 (STS) phone session for a few hours preparing all my answers. I'd say over 90% of the stuff we practiced was spot on for the panel. I was much more relaxed going into the interview as a whole. I scoff anyone who says you don't need prep with a professional. This is a career we're talking about.
Good luck - I've enjoyed it so far.

Good luck and take good notes.

JSTARS, Scrapdog just left out the "interview" in the address... everything else he said is spot on. Aaron is a great dude and a professional at what he does. Well worth it.

I dont have much of an equipment pref with CAL...all they fly are Boeing, since the MD80 is gone; which is great because I have been in the 707 for 5 years. I know I prefer the philosophy of Boeing to Airbus, so CAL will be a great match for me, any 737 will be great for me. I am also from Houston so the chance of making it back there someday is a huge deal for me.

Available equipment
Based off the last system bid there are vacancies as follows which would be filled with new hires:
737 EWR
756 EWR
737 IAH
737 CLE (very very few)
Obviously things change so there could be some other slots that appear but as a new hire I would plan on going to EWR in the 737 or 756 or IAH in the 737.

I don't believe there were any vacancies after the last system bid which just closed. We do those roughly every 6 mos so the next one should be in the Feb timeframe. It is pretty rare lately for Guam to go in a new hire drop but it is possible. The only constant is change. If GUM is something you desire you can always try a base trade with someone or bid it on the system bid. However to have a shot at it you would have to take the 737 in initial. If you take the 756 you can't back bid for 2 years and there is no 756 flying based in Guam.
