At the major/LCC level, US Air, Continental, American, Delta, AirTran, JetBlue, Spirit, Allegient, Virgin America, Hawaiian, and Alaska are hiring (either actively or people in class now) or recalling. Omni, Evergreen, World, Northern and other large aircraft operators have advertized that they are hiring. It's here, folks. The snowball is just small and at the top of the hill! Let it roll down the hill for a little while and qualified pilots will be able to get a job if they want one.

Also,you don't need an internal rec for ASA, it just gets your app to the front of the line for review faster!
Agreed on all points.

Someone in HR said that they were hiring to put guys in the pool for a 1st quater 2011 class, but they didn't say much more than that. I will be interesting to see what happens. Alot of folks there at ASA seem to think that a class may be in the works for December.

Does anyone know how many so far are in the pool?

Don't know about the pool numbers. According to the Basic Indoc instructor, next class is probably the beginning of January.

I just sent off my pre-interview paperwork. Anyone know how long it takes for them to look at it and get back to you? How long before they would set up an interview?

They sent my paperwork when they called me for the interview.

Also said no classes scheduled for now, but were looking at the first of the year. This was a couple of weeks ago.

Good and relaxed interview process if you get the call. I didn't get the job but enjoyed the interview. Maybe a little too much....

With December knocking on our door and no indication that another class will happen this year, I'd expect the next earliest class will be early February.

So, keep an eye out and stay safe.

For those of you with interviews soon, something you might want to ask is what side of the fence will they be placing you? How will your seniority be determined before and post integration? I'm curious as to how they are going to start filling positions. Some mentioned that ASA is properly staffed, I disagree. The picture has changed and staffing also needs to reflect XJT side and some have mentioned understaffed over there. ASA side is short FOs and properly staffed on CA.
