Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy Colgan

Xjet interview
 

I interviewed there last week. there was 24 people in my interview date and they took 3 of them. All had Turbine time and 135 expererience. None of the CFI's got offered the job. A very abrupt bout face in hireing considering I know several new hires there that got hired with less time then I have, but, that was six months ago. amazing how this industry can stop and turn on a dime!

It all depends on the day. One day last week, 7 out of 11 were hired and most were CFI's

Official news from the Union says no new hire classes until after 1st quarter '08.

Any idea how many people are in the pool?

You would have thought my new hire class was a CFI meeting.

And everyone in our class made it through..

Angela said "A Lot" but wouldn't give a number. But, i'm sure it shortening everyday by people deciding to go someone else instead of waiting.

Kinda what I was thinking. I guess we'll see what happens. If nothing else we'll be so short staffed by summer that I won't have to worry about that pesky free-time problem I have. ;)

Additional proof that this so called "pilot shortage" doesn't exist.
