Just saw this posted on jet careers. Thought it funny no one here posted it yet. Someone also posted that by November hiring will be one interview for either XJT or ASA.

Good luck to all!

Oh and mins for the new posting are 1500 TT and 100 ME.

 

It says that they are only a participating company on airlineapps? Does that still mean they are accepting resumes?

 

I would imagine considering the posting was on Friday. But they want you to use airline apps to apply.

 

Put your stuff in guys, we need you here, like Yesterday ...

 

My stuff is in. Anyone want to walk it in?

I see they lowered the multi requirement down to 100. Do they need people that bad? I figure it wouldn't be hard to find people with higher times.

 

Might just be hard finding people with higher times wanting to sit reserve in an unstable economy for 20k/yr. I think there's numbers of hightime guys around, many have callbacks for the majors still, have found other temporary work, or they've found another flying gig that'll pay the bills...I personally think $$ and cents will keep lots of guys out of the biz. But maybe that's just me talking.

 

Guys, also please be mindful, that per the transitional agreement, any pilot hired at either XJT or ASA after August 4th of this year will go to the bottom of the combined list. This does not include furloughed guys coming back, just off the street folks post 9/4/2010.

 

Just to remind you... as if being on the bottom of a regional seniority list isn't bad enough... it's worse!!

 

I'm not quite following you, but I was simply giving the potential new hires a heads up that they will be at the bottom of a 4000+ pilot list. We were all new once, and they may think (out of ignorance not malice) that they will be part of the integration involving the folks on property prior to August 4th, and they won't. This has already been agreed to by both MEC's and will be signed this month by Brad Holt and company as part of the transitional agreement.

 

Ok guys, here is the story. ASA tried to fill a class with XJet furloughees, but couldn't, for whatever reason. They already had a class set up for October 11th, so they went into warp speed hire mode. I interviewed on Friday morning with 3 other people. First interviews in about 18 months. We all did the Sim ride yesterday. The guys interviewing are not looking at Airline Apps unless your stuff has already been walked in by someone else (mine was). They are specifically looking for local (Atlanta plus or minus 2 hours or so) people so that everything can be expedited in time for the October 11th class date.

For what it's worth, 4 interviewed on Friday, 3 interviewed on Saturday, the lowest total time was just over 2000 hours with over 400 hours multi engine. About half had prior turbine and 2 were prior 121. The youngest was about 25 and the oldest was 55 with the other 5 pretty neatly dispursed throughout those 2 ages. 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).

Short story is that they only need 15 right now and have 15 interviewees already set up through Wednesday. Although there are no other classes currently set up right now, they are understaffed and anticipate additional hiring soon, as long as the moon and the stars and the planets line up properly and everyone holds their ear just right while balancing on one foot with a half full wine glass balanced on their head (just kidding about that part). If you want in, your best shot right now is someone inside walking your resume in and being in Atlanta. If you can't get your resume walked in by Monday or Tuesday, you are probably looking at the next round.

Good Luck!
