Does anyone know when expressjet will be interviewingn again or if they are has anyone been called recently to interview?

A friend of mine trying to apply for them told me the other day that it would probably be a couple of months, not confirmed tho.

Maybe someone from the inside can give us some more info on that...

Cheers...

No idea, but dont plan on new hire classes till April-June.......

If you look here its says interviewing for classes in the spring I think. Expressjet pilots how about a little help.

I haven't heard anything specific about new hire classes or interviewing. From what I understand there is a fairly large pool waiting on class dates. The question mark is how many of those in the pool are still swimming and how many have started classes elsewhere. As of now we are fat on FOs and fairly lean on CAs. A small upgrade class was just awarded (16 or 32 I think? Too lazy to look it up right now). CAL has been trimming the block hours as of late which is what led to the hiring/upgrading hiatus but attrition has, for the most part, been steady. Assuming that block hours pick up during the summer (which historically they do) then I would expect to see a large upgrade class by the middle/end of summer and some new hire classes this spring/early summer.

Disclaimer: This is just from my knowledge of staffing levels and whats going on with the company right now. It is by NO MEANS gospel.

I know for a fact that we are still interviewing. It's usually just a few days per month, though.

new word is no new hires till june and even then its gonna be slow for the rest of 2008 if nothing drastic changes..... Sorry, but if you really wanna be here, it will happen, just slowly.

Stay tuned.

Yup, the April class has been pushed back.

Maybe this is better suited for the crackpipe but I gotta ask...what is up in manpower planning? I was under the impression that captain coverage was pretty lean but the upgrade classes have been smaller than I would have expected, especially heading into the summer. And now they are pushing back new hire classes 2 months? Are they just trying to work through some of the excess FO numbers or what? I can't help but feel like someone knows something they aren't telling us. I guess we're all just mushrooms, right?

Dunno, but many of the captains ive been flying with lately are being junior manned, and having their days off rolled. I would have thought we need to increase the upgrades a little bit
