You'll get the base you want soon enough! Welcome aboard... It's tough this summer but it will get better, hopefully sooner rather than later!

 

True, there is a good bit of that BUT:

ACL hit it on the head. A lot of these 88 A's we making more as 88 FOs then 88 As. A lot of junior A's are being bumped back further and further. A good number got MD'd from the 767 straight to the 88 without getting a shot at the 73, even in many cases with 73 guys junior to them getting reinstated into the 73. Superdad is right that it exists but I think ACL pinpoints the reason.

As for me... I love that plane.



Speaking of that, the letter was in the V-files this week concerning MD90 training.

 

I'd like to see a letter in the V-flie that talks about md90 pay!!!!

 

Judy Tarver is the greatest. I absolutely recommend her to anyone.

 

I prepped with Judy Tarver only because I had some special situations I needed help explaining to Delta. She was great.

I have had personal experience with Kit Darby, I would not give that guy a penny of my hard earned money.

 

Super,

A statement of opinion is a defense to a libel claim in most jurisdictions, but not all. So, I'd still be careful with that one, if that's what you were trying to do.

 

I owe her this much, so let me say how cool Judy is. Her policy is (or at least was) that her prep lasts until you get hired; if you don't get this job, she'll work with you on the next one, for free. As long as it takes.
I prepped for a job in early 2008; got the job. Didn't see work due to the economy. Months later I had a different interview. I tried to pay her because she had fulfilled her end of the agreement - it wasn't her fault I didn't go to work. She wouldn't take it. I got hired at the 2nd interview; didn't see work due to the economy. 2 years later I got the Delta interview. Refreshed again; she still didn't take my money. Just asked for recs.
Things might be a little different now because she's not solo, so I wouldn't expect that kind of deal. But I think that says it all. She's all class.
One piece of advice: if you think you're going to get an interview in the next year or so, do the prep now, or sooner than later anyway; then refresh when the invite comes. She's really busy too, and like some have said, the scheduling just might not be possible.

 

I saw the new hire class recently, I was very pleased to see that there is a wide range of military pilots (est 2/3), and varying ages as well (pretty even match of gray hairs to not). It's good to see that pilots can come from many different walks of life and be successful in being hired into legacy 121's

 

Anyone know the breakdown of positions from the 8/16 class of those that made it vs. got held back (Compass)? Basically, what were the awards for those that were physically in the 8/16 class?

 

I know a couple got 320 DTW and at least one guy took MEMDC9 fwiw
