Anyone know if the most recent class of new hires were asked to sign the training contract?

Preferential interview?

If true that the company employs someone full time just to watch social media and protect their image then I'm shocked and upset. I went near 2 weeks in the dead of summer with zero water for the passengers! Half the flights had no ice and of course no air carts so it would be uncomfortably warm. They need to hire someone to better manage catering supplies in that market rather than waste it on social media managers. I will say this we have a saint of a FA who went out and on her own dime bought cases of water for the plane. She was reimbursed, but regardless of that she couldn't stand to keep telling folks we're all out days in a row. Silver may have some issues but you guys have some great coworkers!

If you really want to speak your mind, come to the Teamsters Local 1224 Forum:

It's easy to get started. Just go to APA Teamsters Local 1224 and click "Register for Access" on the right hand side. Fill out the registration form and hit "Submit Form." It usually takes less than a week for the people at HQ to get you approved. Once you're approved, go back to APA Teamsters Local 1224, log in, and click "My Crew Forum" on the right side. It will redirect you to the Forum website. Sign in again and you're good to go. Post to your heart's content. The Mods will review your post and as long as it meets the criteria of the Terms and Conditions (found under the FAQ link on the top right side of the Forum website), they will approve your post(s) within 24 hours.

The pref. Hiring isn't for pilots, it's for management and crew scheduling! They get to flow...

Yay we all win :*)

As long as possible as they can dangle that carrot in front of you and believe the hype.
