Just curious of any news of CJC doing anymore hiring. I know that they did some a few months ago with those guys just getting out on line. How is attrition there? I imagine its just as slow as most other carriers. How much do they value previous 121 experience?

Interviews in LGA on DEC 8th for the saab. If intrested Email [email protected].

I know we just hired two fairly large (about 20 each) new hire classes for the Saab. I honestly don't know how we're able to hire so many pilots right now with the Beech being phased out and those pilots having to come over to the Saab as well ... as far as I know we aren't getting any more of those Saabypoos. Sure, we have attrition right now like everyone, but we're not expanding ... unless I really missed something recently.

fjetter - As far as 121 experience goes ... well every airline values that without question. Colgan weighs heavily on that, internal recommendations, times, previous flying experience, attitude (although as long as you can fake it pretty well you can still get hired if you're an a$$), and personality. What are your times right now? You instructing?

Colgan is not hiring right know per their HR folks.

My times are 750TT 130ME 77Turbine. I was in the 2nd to last comair class back in june, thus the relatively low times. I don't want to wait around for comair and look at a long furlough at a regional. Currently I was able to find a job flight instructing flying about 10hrs a week.

Why is CJC hiring?

fjetter - Well you have good times, but your TT might kill ya. Hopefully with the 121 experience it will overshadow the <1000TT. Best of luck to you!

Three Green - I have no idea why we're hiring. The only reason we would be right now is because of attrition. We are not getting any new aircraft in the next few months. I just hope we don't hire to the point of overstaffing. But, of course, I think it would do the company a lot of good (sincerity there) to actually hire some guys to sit reserve instead of only hiring for the flying that needs to be done.

Yea those are my thoughts as well, like you said hopefully my proven success at 121 training will make me more hireable. I sent a new resume and cover letter in to HR we'll see how it goes. Worse case scenario, they don't call and thankfully I still have my CFI job (which I know is a blessing in these times)

Well, here's the latest. I applied back in October, and a few weeks ago was offered a Dec. 8 interview at LGA. I had a couple internal rec's which apparently was the ticket to getting in this interview. Got a call from Karen this morning temporarily cancelling the interview because of the Jan. 12 class getting cancelled. She said she knows there will be classes coming, probably in February now. She said she'll call back and reschedule once she knows when the class will be exactly.

To be continued....

Bronco....thanx for the update, my guess is the hiring was for attrition that ended up not happening as quickly as expected. Hopefully there is more hiring in the future.
