Hi Everyone!
I interviewed 2 days ago on the 25th. It was a really good experience and met a lot of great guys. The interview gouges are almost spot on. I got the pre offer at the end of the day =) I have 900 total time and 75 multi so I had to sign up for the Jet Transition course. Got the call from ATP yesterday and Im signed up for December 3rd =D Im super excited and cant wait to start! Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Anybody commute from nh to NYC?

They review your app and if they like it, they will send you an email with a phone number you can call to schedule an interview. At this time they also print out your application, so any subsequent changes you make in AirlineApps won't be reflected in your file.

You will get a choice of Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday, within three weeks.

Thanks for the precise answer "RightRudder".
And if my app is not selected for interview, will they let me know?
Thanks!

You have to wait over a month for the ATP RJ course, is this by choice or was this the earlier available spot?

I believe they send you a thanks but no thanks e-mail. I don't think they will leave you in limbo.

Yes! we cant wait for you to start either! You said "feel free to ask any questions" so here it goes... Don't you think you need a bit more experience before jumping in 121 flying ops? :rolleyes:

Well, honestly you are correct. However give him a break! 900/75 it is better than 500/50 or even less!

That is completely up to pilot recruiting. I wasn't born with a couple thousand hours in a jet. I wasn't born with an FE certificate. There were a lot of "firsts" for me. First time flying a jet, first time flying an ATR, etc.

I was a sim instructor in the corporate environment and I saw folks that had multiple type ratings and thousands of hours in jets that I was amazed were still alive. The student that I was most impressed with was one that had never flown a jet and was getting their first type rating. Hours don't mean squat to me. Skill is what you judge someone on. The number of hours are for the insurance company/lawyers.

Sounds like a "catch 22" attitude to me. You can't get 121 ops without having 121 ops experience.

Rbtower2, welcome aboard!!! Glad to have you. I hope you do well. Dedicate yourself from the day you walk in the school house until you're off probation to learning the ops and your aircraft. Be open to suggestions and constructive criticism. If you don't know find someone and ask.
