how many are they hiring this year?

Don't bomb the boards man.

Any chance of a new hire getting RDU?

They said they're planning on about 16/month through July, but they could take more if Cactus keeps giving them more hours.

From what I've heard from people already flying for them, RDU is pretty senior..most likely new hires will go to DCA or PHL..do know someone that go into ORF back in July/August and is already holding a line though.

I graduated college last May of 2010, and over the last few summers while in College got my licenses from a part 61 guy at my local airport. Cost me about 42k from start to finish, which I got from my Grandpas trust fund. I got a few flying gigs from people my instructor knew starting mid May of this year, I had about 300 hours, I now have 910 TTL, and about 130 ME. I have interviews coming up with AWAC, Eagle, ASA, Commutair, and Great Lakes. I am 22, any advice?

What do you think is the right place for you? Obviously there are a lot of factors that play into the decision....looks like there is a ton of info (on APC) about every regional hiring right now...good luck!

Be yourself, know basic IFR and a bit of Jepp charts can help, find the airline that has a good history and what works for you. If you can avoid commuting, that helps too.

Has anyone else heard any word on them doing the sim training for new hires in Phoenix?

Yeah...I believe they are sending a few people from the Jan 15 class there due to CLT getting backed up...maybe someone can confirm that
