Cool. I hope it went well for you. I got the call from HR about five days later.

Pool
 

One of my buddies interviewed in the end of March and they gave him a mid May class date (15th I think) on the Republic Certificate. About a week ago they called him back saying he had been bumped from the class and is now in a pool with an expected class for Shuttle sometime in August (with no specific class date).

I interviewed at the end of march with 7 guys and I think they only hired 1 of us. I was the only 121 guy there and my interview went really well so I was really surprised to not get it. My friend interviewed 2 days later who is also a 121 guy and he said that none of the 121 guys got it including himself. Kinda sad about but o well. Good luck to everybody else.

Crap...where are all the Mesa guys going to jump-ship to now that SkyWest and RAH are slowing?!

There's no telling how many classes they currently have filled. They are still pumping them out as they have been in the past. Perhaps they have too many applicants now. As I sit here in STL I can promise you CHQ certificate is understaffed. From what others are saying we are still understaffed on the other certificates as well.

Maybe the other regionals not hiring is sending a larger wave of people towards RAH. Where there was XJT, SKW, ASA, PNCL, Eagle, etc. hiring the applicants were more spread out but now that several have stopped more might be funneling in than before. Perhaps RAH is now being more picky simply because they can. Multipilot from here very recently interviewed, less than two weeks ago, and was placed in a CHQ erj class coming up.

STL FSI is full of RAH pilots in various stages of training. No end in sight, from where I sit. We keep hearing of more class dates on the 170, and I heard the sims are scheduled with the current trainees(FO's and upgrades) thru June.

I interviewed April 2nd and was offered the job. I was told that at this time they do not have a class date for me and that I will be in a pool. The reason was that they need to evaluate which certificates need pilots. They told me and another guy that interviewed the week before (who was also told he was in the pool) to expect a class date in June. They said that they are still projecting 700 new hires this year, so get your resume in and good luck. Here is part of the offical e-mail that I recieved from HR:

"I want to thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to interview with us for the First Officer position.

We have selected you for the pool of pilots for our future classes. The airline industry is constantly changing, and we do not have firm dates of classes that meet your availability. However, as soon as we do, we will contact you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience."

Hope this helps.

I interviewed March 20th and got the RW 4/21 class in STL. From what I understand there is one class in mid May for the CRJ or ERJ but I don't know anything about it. I think they filled the 4/21 class a couple of days after my interview.

while the flight safety in STL may be slammed, theres an aura of disappointment down here with the guys in HOU that the next class they have coming is small and then there are no scheduled classes after that.

don't really know what cutting back down in here means for the overall hiring at RAH but thats the deal down here in HOU.

hey psychomant, i was in the march 20 interview too. Shoot me a private message when you can get enough posts. I think you need 25 to PM if I remember correctly.
