Incorrect and AMR’s situation doesn't affect us. Our class dates have not change, only the ratios within them.

Only other communication I got was something yesterday just asking us to be patient and seeing who could be put on a short call list if any class spots open up.

From what I understand there's a lot of internal upgrades and transitions occurring and the new hires are(rightly so) not high on the priority list.
Correct, currently there have been a LARGE number of transitions awarded (EMB -> CRJ) and they have priority over new hires. Expect 2 out of every 3 new hires to go to the EMB as backfill until late spring.

The EMB program can only handle a fraction of what the RJ program can since we have almost a dozen RJ Sims and only 1 EMB. We rent time on an EMB sim in ATL but it's not ours. Currently they're transitioning about 10% of our EMB FO’s to the RJ every month, that's why the number of new hires has been reduced on the RJ side and why 2 out of every 3 new hire positions over the next few months will be EMB.

Anyone have an idea how long it's taking HR to get back to people on interviews lately? Had an interview 3 weeks ago, but still no news.

TNflyer: I would guess no more than a week. The system is jammed up for sure. As far as I understand you would still get your letter in the mail. Maybe shoot another email to C. Ence.

Oh and someone asked about Alaska flight benefits: you only get those if you are based in PDX or SEA (pretty senior) on the jet. Don't hold your breath.

Just called, they did say they've been having 'glitches' with their email system. Do you happen to know if you get the letter in the mail either way, or only if they offer you a position? Thanks
