Also as a new hire you will have almost zero say in your schedule. There are junior FOs that have been at the whim of scheduling for almost three years.

Not trying to come off as a d**k - just want you to have the facts.

O no I understand. I am making it sound like the only reason why I'm going to try to go to asa is the being at home overnights. That's kinda ridiculous if it was the only reason. I know about the sitting of rsv and not having a line for a long time but id rather be with a company that is moving forward..have aircraft that don't break down every other leg
..a good contract..good training..and a stable place to work. Asa has a good reputation in the airline world and everyone iv jumpseated with has all said they enjoy working for them..even the junior just off of furlough guys.

Wow for me it would be great. I live in Atlanta. I've been commuting for the better part of 4 years. I'd love for that to end!

The company is pretty good and the training is top notch and we seem to certainly be moving forward as you put it and big things always seem to be on the tip of the tongue of management all the time....Once we get some more people onboard morale will improve no doubt....Best of luck !

Right, the stack of resumes on DR's desk is only neck deep...

All 7 had instructed at some point, two had been Chief Pilots somewhere and one had been an Assistant Chief Pilot. One was former ASA who had gone to Continental and didn't like it, so decided to come back (That was weird to me too, but different strokes for different folks).


Good Luck!


That's encouraging news!

Got the call today for interview this week. Oct 11 class if I pass the interview. No internal rec. But I am ATL local.

johnpeace 09-28-2010 04:27 PM

Does anyone here know someone in the class that started yesterday?

Can you tell me (PM is fine) what the equipment assignment breakdown for that class was?

Woxof 09-28-2010 05:24 PM

The newhire class is all CL-600-2b19 (CRJ200) initial training. After they complete that, it is possible they could attend CRJ700/900 differences, but I do not know in which aircraft their are vacancies.

On the good news front, there should have been a posting for 31 (ish) CRJ200 captain positions today.

Movement is always a good thing.

All the old gouge information is spot on. They have not changed a thing.
