I talked to one of the pilots that will be doing the selecting and interviewing when they start up later next month. There will be a ton of friends and family that get the first nod. They are also going to call all the guys and gals in that had class dates, but that were cut after the new contract was signed in July of '01. This is about 60-70 guys and gals. Those interviews are going to be fairly informal. After that they will start to look at the true pool. From what they told me 2000-3000 turbine PIC min and at least 5000 hrs. There will always be exceptions. Military guys and gals will get a nod with a few internals and 2000 hrs. That is just the way that it is. The guy they have at the helm is an ex Delta pilot. He is looking for the same type of people that they have always hired. In 07 they are projecting 120 new hires. 08 is looking to be around 300 or more. They even told me that this could change at a moments notice because of their recall clause.
Frankly I am very well connected with 10 internal recs on file the first day this thing opened and their best guess is a mid summer interview.
Hope ths helps....

It's not about what you know or how many hours you have. It is all about who you know. Always has been, and always will be. Makes it an uphill battle for myself, but I will still try.
