Anyone have a contact for whoever schedules the new hire classes? I got hired back in December, spoke to the recruiters and was told that I'd hear in January about a class date. I've sent a couple of emails to the recruiter I was speaking to, but I've heard nothing back.

It seems like all of the "good luck finding pilots" talk on these boards is a little overblown at the moment. Things could change, but HR departments probably aren't on high alert just yet.

These Skywest guys are talking about well yeah at Skywest we are getting 200 EJETS. But how many 50 seaters are y'all going to be losing? At the very least it will be a wash.

I asked how many people were showing up to class, not what percentage. 1 person showing up could be 100% if that is all they are hiring...get it now?
I know this is difficult for you, but read slowly and you will be just fine.
