Why would a new hire want to ask about how their seniority will be integrated? Either way they're on the bottom of the integrated list as new hires. The last true ASA class was Nov 1st and they all got ATL CRJ. From now on the new hires could goto any of the bases. Makes choosing the new ASA a bigger decision but they should be able to give you a good idea before taking the job.

Clearly that was my question to whom ever. I wouldn't expect anyone to ask that in a interview. Although, it would be legit to ask about where they may be placed. Like you mentioned, it could be on the XJT side of things. I'm not sure the people who were given an interview for this month understand that now ASA is ALL of XJT-ASA, not just the small ASA that the Nov. class got.

Thanks for the info. So there is a chance that a new hire could be flying either the EMB or CRJ? Is everyone that was furloughed at ExpressJet in a class or on the line?

I don't think this is true. At least not for now. The merger process has just begun and I think XJT will hire guys for that side of the house and ASA will hire for theirs. I do not see a person hired by ASA flying an E145 anytime soon. This is personal opinion though. It wouldn't take too long to combine the hiring departments though.

People in the class after the Expressjet furloughs are just getting done with the checkrides now, so yes.

We are already starting to see the first round of expressjet furloughs that got hired starting to begin their IOE. I've seen a couple of em around the crew lounge. I am also hearing rumors of hiring to continue in January. I sure hope so.

Welcome aboard everyone. We are glad to have ya. For those that are trying to get on. Keep trying. This is a great company to work for. We are definately one of the better ones out there.
