Does anybody out there at 9E have a solid number to call in HR to confirm this? I understand this is how it goes because I have 6 friends of mine who went through the same process who are working there now.

Just curious, appreciate the help!

Wish I could offer you a ray of hope but it may be another week (or more) before you hear anything. I am trying to be patient myself with a class start date of 7/18 with Pinnacle which means I drive to Memphis next weekend. I have still not received a letter or travel information, lodging info, etc. I guess they are swamped. All I have had thus far is a verbal from HR. If you don't hear anything in another week call. I'll be happy to fill in any blanks once I'm out there and know more.

Don't act like a company is doing you a favor by offering you a class date. In this environment they are lucky to be able to get bodies that can fog a mirror that have 250 TT. Either they are professional and supply you with all the required information up front or they don't. If they seem to always be behind and can't get things on time, its a good indication of what it will be like when you are working for them.

It's a shame at how true this is.

You'll get your info a few days before you leave, I think I got my flight and hotel info the Thursday or Friday before I left. But get used to it, they didn't make enough reservations when our class went up to MSP and three of us had to go to a different hotel 9 miles away, so much for studying with your sim parnter...

Seniority is EVERYTHING.

And mine went up 18% after the SLI

But how much are you having to work? I've yet to fly over 65 hours in a month and credit between 110 - 130 hours. Grossing over 100k this year probably....

Good for you, how many days a month are you off and at home? And how much of that credit is going to alimony/child support?
