Has anyone had a phone interview with AWAC that was not immediately invited to the interview but invited later on?
After THREE months, they finally gave me a phone interview and then said she'd be making decisions in a couple days. I know this is a great company but I'm getting pretty discouraged with this hiring process.
So, has anyone else had a similar experience with a positive outcome?

Well to be fair, I did have someone walk in my resume. Then it took THREE more weeks to get called.
I've heard a RUMOR that they might be discriminating against high time guys. I'm at 3500 tt... They don't want to have to break any bad habits? It's probably best that I just keep my opinion on that practice to myself.
It's all the more confusing to hear that rumor and then read that they want previous airline experience and turbine time.
Well best of luck to you! If you hear anything, let me know!

Not really a rumor, more of a fact at the moment. They had a big crop of high timers come through that felt like AWAC should just be happy that they were willing to be there. They put forth little to no effort in training and washed out. Ever since then, they've decided to go for people that will be excited to be there and give a good effort in training. So far it seems to be working for them. Obviously it isn't fair to lump all high timers into that same category, but that's just the way it goes sometimes.

That's really a bad thing to hear. Those of us that stuck out the last pilot recession and didn't seek refuge in other more secure careers are now being punished.
Well maybe they'll come to their senses and I'll hear something. Perhaps it's all a test and if I'm still excited to get a call after waiting three months, I'll stick it out through training.

BTW, the company (mostly middle management) blows, but generally the training dept is top notch.
