I will be in SLC on Wednesday for an interview with them. If I hear anything will give you a post. As I said earlier, I have seen there schedule at the Chicago job fair and they are doing one to two fairs a week along with a hefty interview schedule. I am sure their a little backed up at the moment. If I hear any news on classes, ect. I will pass it on!

Just wait

I ended up calling, my work needed to make a February schedule and that put me in a bind. They needed to know by Friday night if I had the job or if I could be on the schedule. I called, she was really nice, however she is really busy, and does not need to be bothered unless it's critical.

So just wait, packages will be sent soon.

Congrats to all and see you on the line!

In case anyone is curious, I just read a memo from the DEN chief pilot that stated that our pilot hiring will be 70 pilots every three weeks for the forseeable future. This is in contrast to the memo I got from another chief pilot not quite a month ago with much lower numbers than that. But we are extremely short staffed and I think 70 is probably what they want. The only problem I see with it is that they may not be able to fill that many seats.

TonyWilliams,
Just curious to hear if you have heard anything back from them yet. I had my interview on the 17th and haven't heard a thing thus far. Just getting anxious i guess. Thanks!

The class for the EMB is already full if everyone in the pool shows up for class. There still filling spots for the CRJ 12th class. They wouldn't say how many people are already in it. If you get a FedEx package soon you should be in the CRJ. Let us know when you hear something and how long you had to wait. This is worse than the interview, Waiting! ..... Waiting! ........ Waiting!.......

How big are these classes on average? In other words, how many people will they put in each class?

Also, when is the next CRJ class after 2/12?

thx.

3/5 for CRJ new hire. Last word was 25, but who knows, it might be larger.

That is B.S. How about informing candidates in a timely fashion, then there aren't emergencies. I've experienced a number of airline recruitment processes, and never have I been told of a likely class date and then watched 14 days prior to said date come and go without word. How hard is it to call/email your newhires?

Yo tcraft - I interviewed on the 17th as well and I received an e-mail on Tuesday with the offer to start on the 12th. I am still waiting for the Fedex package, but it does look like I will be in Salt Lake on the 12th. You might want to call and find out what is going on. Good luck.
