Haven't heard a word since June 2008...called a few times and didn't get much of answer.

No idea about the pool. If I had to GUESS, I'd say they'll at least selectively purge the pool in favor of higher time folks than we were getting when hiring stopped. They can pretty much do whatever they want with it, there's no official policy of which I'm aware. And btw, I'm just Joe Linepilot.

about the time I was told I was in the pool (may 08, after jet orientation) it was bout 65 pilots big...now its anyone's guess but if I had to guess I put the number probably around a third of that

I think the pool was only 36 people. Because they had 3 classes scheduled which they cancelled, with 12 people in each class. At least thats what I was told when I passed the interview and I was placed in one of those classes. After that I believe it was people who were offered interview but did not have the chance to do it. At least thats what I was told the day they cancelled my class and placed me into the pool.

Offered interview canceled three days prior, whats happens to me?

I have 1300 and 275 multi, 270 50+NM XC, think I stand a chance when the bus turns around? Or do I need to get a 135 gig and bang out the ATP = moving 2000 miles.

I currently CFI and get almost no XC time.

With all due respect if you have to list anything other than the basics, ie- telling us how much cross country time you have, no, I don't think you have a chance.

Crap shoot, word around the playground is get an ATP. But then again it comes down to how many people with 2-3 times your qualifications, who are furloughed, are willing to start over in the right seat here 'if' we start to hire?

Yeah listing the x/c time only brings your attention to the fact you don't have it. I'd only put it on anything if prompted for it.

Got ATP mins x 2.5 and would love to hear from them.

XC time doesn't mean a hill of beans. All we care about is if you have at least the mins (what ever they will be) and the creds to back it up.

You guys that want a shot at Eagle or anyone else, you know what you need to do. Go do it! No one knows if the pool exsits or what our new mins will be if they start hiring. Shoot for and look forward to at least ATP mins. Push for that and you'll be ok.

I hope you all get on board. More cushion for me
