On Reserve

It's really not a bad place to get your foot in the industry door. Good contract (but obviously STILL concessionary and STILL working on a new one). Great people and if you live in or move to base that makes it easier. Who knows what happens in 2017...

I have never heard anything from senior management that these extensions would be anything significant, so I think we're talking months not years.

My class went through training quick. 2 months start to finish with literally only a few days break, if that. Indoc/Systems is in Appleton with simulator training in Charlotte. Know your flows, callouts, acceptance, IAC when you get to CLT. You need to know the IAC cold.

We just had a vacancy for numerous FO lines in DCA, and LGA a few months back. It seems as if ORF is getting senior once RDU closed, but again, complete toss-up to where you be assigned from training.

Best of luck in training!

Lawn - I start training in Oct, can you PM me and entertain a few Qs about what to expect at Air Wis? I'm brand new to the 121 world. Thanks.

I've applied at AW, have my ATP and 3500tt and was told that I dont meet the requirements. Am I blacklisted or something?

I had an overnight in YYZ this past week and saw an AWAC new-hire group waiting for a ride to the sim center for training.

I applied at about 2am on 10/31. Had a call by 2pm on 10/31, but couldn't call back until today, was out of phone range until midnight last night.

Does anyone have any idea when the next round of interviews may be? I could not make the last one and worried I may not get a call back.
