Correct, however (to bring this back to the main thread topic) the ASA deal has no effect at all on this. This only applies to being recalled to XJT, and they haven't even gotten through everyone the first time yet.

That's true. Hopefully all will come back and we can start hiring again. (Well, not XJT....you know what I mean.)

so, what's the latest?

Everybody's back (that wants to be) and 96 newhires on the way. All will go to ORD.

just got a call today for an interview

Out of curiosity did they specifically say you're interviewing for the XJT side of the company or could you end up on the ASA side?

Well, they offered an XJT class date to someone who previously interviewed for an ASA position.

I believe with these newest interviewees they are saying it is specifically for an XJT position, but who knows.

Yeah they told me that I will be interviewing for the Expressjet side (30th). He said in a year it will all be the same thing though. A buddy of mine has a class date for expressjet after interviewing. He was hired by ASA a while back but they cancelled his class date. I imagine after a while there will be very few differences except aircraft type and base.

I interviewed last Tuesday in ATL with ASA for an XJet job. Got the call yesterday for a Jan 10th class date. There's a 1/17 class date too and after that im not sure when they are. Just fyi
