Nope, STL is still open. I know, because I'm STL based. Having said that, I've been STL based since September but have never seen it once, since the only flying we get to do is MKE TDY!!! Figure that one out! Supposedly we have "big schedule changes" coming in January (according to the line lady)...so who knows what that means for the base. After talking to Dir. of Ops about 2 months ago, he said that he thought the STL base would be canned in the spring...they're not willing to kill it until they are sure that they won't need it anymore.

My point was that STL is stocked with the few people who actually want to be there, so newbies will be based in DEN.

And yes, I'm always up for a free beer.

internal rec will really help and speed up your process! Had a good buddy of mine who got furloughed, right around the 1100 hour mark who has a Dec. interview class, he only applied 3 weeks ago! We are still hiring, definitely not everyone with a pulse, but with so many resumes in the pile, it really helps if you know someone!!

This is going to sound crazy, but you may have too much time to get hired at ZK. They have never liked hiring higher time guys, and that is probably still the case. They think you are just going to bail immediately. It is too bad for us on the line, I wish they would hire people with actual experience instead of me being forced to be a 121 captain and a CFI at the same time.

Good luck.
