What time did you call? Did you get straight through? I left a message around 4 pm central time and didn't hear back. I'll try again tomorrow morning around 9 am central time. I might shoot for the 27th if I can as well because Thursday's will work best for me with my current student load. Good luck on the interview!

 

I think at 3central should be good for you if you dont find them at 9

 

Thanks for all the advice! Hopefully I'll just get through around 9.

 

Hopefully you have an interview by now, just wanted to see what date you picked. If you have the 27th, maybe we can half the hotel room. Let me know

 

I got an earlier date that worked for me. Trying to get in ASAP . Would have been a good idea though. Best of luck to you!

 

It is a good idea if you've been studying or have free time to study a lo!

 

interviewed today, one guy went home in 10 min, there were 8 of us, 4 for sure got the letter pending bg chk, 2 for sure didnt (1 was the one who went home first thing, 1 other said he failed the sim) 2 where still doing the sim when i left for DFW. I got it =)!!!! I am so excited!! Said times are 4-6 weeks for class depends how quick your employers are, its 4 weeks for FAA records, so if your employers can match it you will get a call about 4 weeks. I wish everyone luck they WANT YOU TO BE HIRED!

The keys are
1. memorize the tech stuff, its all online.
2. the sim isnt bad, but go do some sim time in a frasca, and read what everyone tells you to do while flying. The guy who got sent home got hired at COLGAN and passed that sim, but lost the GS on this one, I think this one is easy.
3. RELAX, be social, have fun, AE is extreme nice and professional!

Go luck, they want 500 ppl by July.

 

Congrats! One of my best friends passed today too.

 

who was it, we had a very awesome group, wish we had class together. All 8 of us clicked well, well tech. 7 since one left right away. Tell them Rick says hi the Skydiver guy, they will know, and I look forward to seeing them in class. 2 people I do not know the outcome on, a girl and a 22yo guy who were still doing sim when I left, I hope they passed. The entire day was awesome, being in the ,holding tank' was a blast because of the people i interviewed with, we chatted like crazy, I loved it.

 

Congrats Rickt86!! Maybe I'll see ya on the line some day. I was hired Nov. 17th, class starts Jan. 17th. I'd highly recommend calling your previous employers to expedite the process. I'd probably have an earlier class date if my last employer hadn't dragged it's feet getting the paperwork faxed back. If everything goes smoothly you can potentially go to the review board in less than 2 weeks.
