Shuttle E170 class
 

Anyone else in the October 29th E170 class for Shuttle America?

I know my instructor is...

its the one that got pushed back a couple weeks right??

I'll be there. If you got the email for travel arrangements on 28-10-07, I'm the second one from the top.

Haven't received my travel yet

are you flying in?

nope... im in the 11/26 class.......

did anyone you interviewed with get republic?

Yeah when they offered me the class they asked if I would need travel and I said yes.

how old are you by the way? Just curious. I liked my old airline way of deciding seniority... lowest last 4 of SSN.

36 so I assume I'll be close to the top end of the seniority list in that class. I could be wrong.

I dont know about the status of but one of the other 5 who interviewed with me. He was turned down.

I am 44 so suspecting I will probaby be the oldest but ya never know.

Its by age in class.

Nice. 2 guys in my interview group were turned away after testing

All 6 of us went to the interviews after the testing... 4 took the sim profile. One of the guys who didnt do the sim also didnt get hired.... so hard to tell.

when were you offered the class? is anyone taking the offer and switching from shuttle to republic on the same class date?

I'd like to stay on the Shuttle side but since I was one of the last assigned that class I'm outta luck if there aren't enough volunteers.

I was offered the class on sep 17... i wonder where I stand

Well I was offered this class on Oct 2 and I am the low man on the totem pole (24 out of 24) if that helps.

I was offered CHQ today. but I would like to volunteer for that republic class

Call Linda or Kim. You never know. I'm betting they'll say yes.

Yea, call Kim D., she seemed very open to move class dates around as long as they were still meeting their needs.

Bob....did you get a firm class date from them for CHQ..... just curious.

you all can have my spot, i am putting in my two weeks today! Or I might just get fired for going home early! Either way I win!

U serious Scary.... where are you moving on too?

So are they asking folks to move from S5 to RW because there are too many in the S5 class or not enough in the RW class?

i'm going back to school! either music business, business administration or something like that!

WHAT?!?!?!?! ::shocked::

basically i just want any job that I dont have to stay in hotels and answer to 8 dollar an hour, uneducated, ghetto moron crew schedulers from indianapolis. I honestly like this job a lot, but RAH has some serious issues when it comes to crew scheduling and crew planning! TSA looked like UPS compared to chautauqua!

Wow that's ballsy dude...all the power to ya and best of luck!

CHQ scheduling/planning made TSA look like UPS?!?! That's crazy - no joke?

i'm really talking out of me arse on this one and I havent made any rash decisions yet. But after the events that transpired this week on reserve I am definately considering a new gig! I wouldn't exactly say that TSA was that much better than CHQ, but they were definately more organized and TSA was hands done more efficient. My QOL was much better commuting to STL for TSA than beeing based at home with these crap schedules here at CHQ! I mean 81 hours with only 13 days off, no cancellation pay, constantly beeing reassigned, 3 hour sits every where we go! Woot Woot! Sign me up! I should have went to SKywest!

LoL I had a CHQ interview same day as SKW...been glad from day one I made the choice I did haha. (also served my time at TSA)

Hmm, sounds like a good day at colgan. Wow 81 hours with 13 days off!! I'm at 76 hours with 12 days off. Republic still hiring?

Yeah my offered date is 16 Nov...

Which certificate Bob?

Then stop running at the suck and get to steppin'

Chautauqua sorry...

Tanker,
Would Linda give you the Republic Class?

Or Shuttle...on 11/27? Really, look at the bases you would want and go from there. I do know they were looking for CHQ guys as early as this coming monday.

Get that seniority number..

If you were to get hired by Republic for the 170, can you switch to the Shuttle side of things at a later date, before the Captain upgrade? I thought there was a seat lock on the airplanes for the 145/170, but how does it work with switching certificates for the same airplane?

Thanks

To my knowledge there is no switching of certificates as an FO, regardless of equipment.
