Is ASA Hiring?
 

Damn this 9E news. I don't wanna go back to DTW. Not saying I'm gonna jump ship, but I'm just thinking of options just in case..

So is ASA hiring? And if they are, how much?

Can't you just go to the CRJ200 out of DTW/MEM/MSP? I don't work for ASA, but I think they are hiring into a pool?!?

We are not hiring and will not for the near future. Word in recurrent ground this week was we are staffed for the summer and may be overstaffed in the fall. COLA anybody???

Be careful about jumping ship everytime there is bad news at your carrier. If you do that, you will never have any seniority anywhere and will always be at the bottom. In the few years I have been here at Comair, I could have jumped ship several times and went elsewhere only to be at the bottom of someone else's list and in furlough territory. From "right sizing" CVG to the bankruptcy to the RFP to losing 30+ aircraft to emerging from bankruptcy to still losing aircraft and on and on.

Stick it out. This isn't going to be the last time there is bad news at your airline during your career.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Skywest and Comair about the only regionals hiring right now? Last I heard not even RAH was hiring? I'm not sure.

I know APC shows each airline's hiring status under the carrier's description but maybe they should have a page that lists all the carriers known to be currently hiring/taking applications. That would help some people out when it came time to job hunt. Just an idea.

I had a buddy interview a couple of months ago, walked his stuff in and wrote a letter ect........hasnt even gotten a letter saying if he was hired/not hired/swimming.

Tell him to just show up for class on Monday. He can tell them that usually no news is good news and his schedule was clear to start training next week.

Skywest is hiring? I thought they stopped.... maybe I'll send them an app..

SKW is interviewing all month, but ATL isn't a junior base. Historically (kind of a funny term considering the base hasn't been around that long) it would take a new hire about 8 months to get into ATL. FWIW

I interviewed early may and got the call today. Have to take swimming lessons but there is light at the end of the pool!

Best of luck to all.

Still no call from the other Delta Connection carrier? What did ASA have to say?

Its a hurry up and wait situation.

No one is willing to give a guesstimate as to when the next classes for new hires will be.

They make those calls just to check how their pool is doing and whether or not you are still going to wait for a class or if you have gone somewhere else. If the pool gets low they will refill it type of deal. I was in the pool for a few months and me and my buddy's in it with me all got the same call every few weeks and eventually we all got into class. Waiting games like you said.
