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].
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?

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.
