Don't let that one tool bag put you off, he's just jealous.

 

Thanks man. And thanks for letting folks know sometimes there are important reasons to delay, not all of which are controllable!

 

There's a good chance your previous employer wouldn't hesitate for a second to furlough you to save a penny. Good choice.

 

Perhaps the reason you have not been called is reading comprehension. I suggest you go back and carefully read his post and then put a apology on here.

 

Maybe you better rethink that.

The military "guys" sacrificed their comfortable way of life so that you can sit here and enjoy all the freedoms they have fought for.

They deserve, more than A-N-Y-O-N-E, to have multiple offers from the top companies. If I were a recruiter, I would offer employment to all these heros FIRST!

I am glad they come on here expecting multiple offers. They deserve it.

As prior military I did have multiple offers. And multiple TBNTs. And have posted before how RJ folks really excelled in training. But to the point of timing, go to the first class offered and leave if a better offer comes along. If you have to put them off be straightforward but do not give excessive information. Just ask, if they hired you they want you to come to work there. Having said all that get there as fast as you possibly can. Good luck.

 

 

Jim, don't let folks with personal issues bother you. You didn't sound arrogant and your question was legit and similar to one I had back when I was in your position. I was fortunate to receive multiple offers and got to chose which company I worked for. That's not always the case and I'll be the first to admit I was extremely lucky.

Not sure about UAL, but if you get invited to interview at Delta they will ask your no kidding availability in the interview and have you write it on your app that you sign in front of them. If offered a CJO, they will ask if you have any major life events or issues in the next 3 months when they call to offer a training class.

Free advice (and it's worth what you paid for it), take the first class avail and tell Uncle Sam thanks for the memories. You did your time, but the reality is nothing you do for your job or the unit you are with will be remembered after you leave. The machine keeps rolling along. You however stand to lose a ton in seniority, especially at the rates the majors are hiring at right now. Making sacrifices for career number one could seriously impact career number two for years to come, both financially and in quality of life for you and the family.

Good luck with the transition.

 

I wouldn't worry about it, I didn't think you came across the wrong way. Some people are just super sensitive, you know these days everyone has to get a trophy.

 

I second (and share) this opinion wholeheartedly. I will gladly let them in line ahead of me and also have a few choice words ready for anyone who would say anything negative about it, too.
