So any of the guys that have had references called. Have you had any feed back on who is doing the calling and what they are asking? Just curious if it is HR types verifying employment, etc., or is it a pilot and asking about the actual letters of recommendation. Just curious.

Hang in there. I felt the same way after mine. Then I was offered the job (even though I didn't take it).

Got the call as well, see the who's been hired post for my info...excited to say the least. I owe a big debt of gratitude to my brothers and sisters that wrote me letters of rec and vouched for me. Beers are on me.

Should be another decision board coming up soon. Any new rumors? How long before they call or send emails after the DB? (assuming calls = good, emails = not so good). Will they leave a voicemail if they are unable to connect? How long after calls go out before class dates are assigned?

The last DB was on 13 Nov. Everyone was called on 14 Nov. I think they knew we were waiting impatiently for an answer. ATL CP called me at 2130 to let me know I was hired. I think emails went out to non-selects within a couple days. Many of us are still waiting for class dates, including me. They call to give you a class date in order of interview date. Hoping to hear something this next week.
