Yeah but didnt we stop hiring for half the year? Starting in January was the tail end of the initial hiring spurt. Wont the list grow pretty quick when we are hiring 16 FO's every other month into the 900?

I'de say it was early march...hiring 16 FO's a month is all hearsay...we are hiring people for planes that arent here and no one knows if we do when they are coming and how many....the list will grow, but where will they go?

Didnt this last vacancy have 16 new FO's on it for the 900? How many FO's have we hired into the Saab/900 since this new round of hiring has started? Seems like quite a few.

Do you think that aircraft utilization will increase? It seems to me that their are multiple aircraft that sit for quite a while during any given day. An increase in utilization will demand an increase in pilots. At least I think it may.

I'm not sure on the #'s but our new spurt if you will....probably started somewhere in late August early Sept...the union rep that i talked to said anything over 9 900 FO's per award means we are hiring for something none of us know is coming...

Anyone know if the hiring is slowing/stopping? I've seen so much of the conversation about upcoming hiring and interviewing drop off, and I'm still waiting for the call or the rejection. I applied and updated on September 29th & 30th, respectively.
I know there were a lot of other guys and gals in my boat...anyone from the mid to late Sept still hanging on?

Sultan,
Obviously those already on the "inside" would better know, but I can at least ask the question about future hiring while I'm there Thursday. I'll post what I hear.

I haven't started class yet but I was offered a class date/job and know that hiring is supposed to continue until early next year...
I personally haven't heard any talk of it slowing or stopping.

I personally wouldn't call having 2 off in between 5 day reserve periods commuter friendly, but its certainly doable, but that also depends on where you are coming from, and if FEDEX is an option for you as well (in MEM of course). Lately I have seen a few more 5 on 3 off, but each line is different.
Primarily, I just wanted to make sure that days off were mostly grouped together instead of being pitched in between pairings, making a move to base necessary. Thanks for the info.
