You probably wouldn't fit in there. Try a regional.

Bill's a good guy. All of the recruiters are. Advice that I can give is to show enthusiasm for the company. I'm rather surprised that some furloughs are refusing to go back, however. They wouldn't be calling people unless they had new business opportunities, which they do. This "seasonal" new airnet contract is seasonal in a sense, but it seems more of an opportunity for airnet to show a certain customer what they are capable of. I'd bet it will lead to a lot of permanent flying. Granted, I'm purely specuating from a computer chair, but the fact remains; airnet is good at what they do. Their ontime performance will never go unnoticed. |

I interviewed in 07 also. Ended up with the offer and spent a great year plus there. I did not have BW anywhere near my interview. Perhaps that was part of why I went (happily) to the net.

I beg to differ. I've been there, done that, and wouldn't mind doing it again.

That said, Bill is a good guy. While I was disappointed to get "bumped" by him, had I the seniority to do it...I would have done the same thing. He's definitely one of the good guys there. The system worked to his advantage and I think anyone in the same situation would have done the same thing. You can't fault him for that. ****y at the system? Sure. ****y at the person? No way. I don't know how he conducts interviews or whatnot, because I didn't get to meet him until I had already been hired so I can't speak for that side of things but I can vouch for him as a good genuine person. Lots of the Airnet guys and gals are. -mini |

The aircraft are not out here yet. We're flyig the runs until airnet gets into place. I was told they outbid us with 182's. Even if they are 210's, whoever is flying them, be safe out there. Bishop and the Owens Valley are not fun places to be at night and in ice.
Looks like Flight Express is covering the SBP-BFL run |

Thank goodness for small favors. It is no secret that AirNet is not for everybody. I'm glad that Craig and BW did and continue to do a good job making sure that the people that do come to AirNet really want to be there. Obviously it wasn't a good fit for you, but to say AirNet is not a good operation is just being ignorant. Good luck with whatever it is your doing now. As far as the AirNet recalls, that is great news. Having been on furloughed and recalled by my current carrier, I know the feeling when you get that recall letter in the mail. Hopefully with the new business that they are going after, it will provide a little expansion even if it is only in the mighty caravan. (I loved that plane. N107AN still is the sweetest one!) |
I know they've been hiring alot of call center people.
