So if I applied a few weeks ago and also updated my app once and have not gotten the "thanks but no thanks" letter; is that a good thing? I sure hope so.

I wonder what is on some peoples resumes that makes them send out one of those letters immediately?

i don't work there but maybe people are putting down for expected wage question, that they will work for food. lol

don't know other than that. sorry for the usless response

 

hey.. it was good for a laugh

 

I am not sure about this. I know someone flying the line right now whose resume was walked in by one of his friends and he got the invite the very next day. There's really no established procedure by XJ about the 'selection process' for intervierw; however, I did get my interview by applying online and I did not have Jet time.

Just make sure all info in your 'online' app is correct, especailly the phone number. Good Luck.

 

I guess no one here knows huh???

BTW i just applied.

 

bummer... just got the no thanks e-mail..

shoulda kept my mouth shut.

 

I got the no thanks as well. I'm gonna keep trying though, I'm hoping there is still a chance. Out of curiosity, what are your times?

 

I'll answer this one the best I can. Is the saab harder? Maybe I guess what is hard. Either plane is most likely going to be new but both are very manageable. The CRJs are much more automated and definitely have a lot less lights to understand what they mean but I did not think the saab was that bad. Mesaba has an excellent training department which is there to get everyone to succeed, not to weed out people. Will they let go people have trouble, yes, but this can happen on all fleets. Overall, its the work hard and you will do fine. There have been numerous people pass the training program in the past year so if you get hired, you should make it through just like the majority of other people.

One big thing for the saab at least, do not try to work ahead of schedule and try to know stuff before you get to class. The people who do this usually do worse. They will teach you everything you need to know and in a manageable fashion. I see people on here studying the FOM before even attending class. I guess if you want to freak yourself out before class thats cool but just relax, the training department will take care of everything.

 

Im sorry but that was a struggle to read.

From what i understand the training for the 900 is a lot easier. Its a self based computer program where you take the weekly tests whenever your ready. Plus the aircraft itself is highly automated. But as stobelma was saying (i think) if you just pay attention in ground school, and study no one should have much trouble in Saab training.

 

600/70.. 250 turbine.. 130 night. some 135 exp.

I dont know what makes them decide on who to interview. I know i'm not the highest time applicant.
