Rumor is they are realizing that you can't just keep adding hours if you don't have enough staff to fly them. Dec numbers hurt and I think it was because our reserve levels are so low, and if pilots can't drop a trip, they will just call in.

Lots of United flying expiring this year. Some will move from 700/900 to ERJ, some we will lose. But the overall feeling is that we will not do flying for free. If we lose it and someone else can't fly it, we will work to be ready to fly it for a premium price.

Now if they can hire enough to keep up with attrition and any new flying available remains to be seen. I still think we have to address where we are inefficient in our utilization, and it sounds like SGU is looking into some things. Time will tell.

Is this why they're taking two weeks to get back to interviewees on whether or not they got the job?

Three weeks + here

More likely than not.

I had a friend interview about two weeks ago and they let him know within 2 days. If it were me I'd be checking in with someone after a week, but I've been known to be impatient.

Oh..

I'll go ahead and not expect a call anytime soon, then.

I'm a CRJ driver for a Skywest Inc. company, can I have some money too? We can negotiate, maybe trade the 5k bonus for M&Ms to be put back in the first class basket?

He should at least have gotten a "Thanks but no thanks E-mail". What was their feedback the day you interviewed?

Yes, they said within two weeks. They said to go home and check your email like ery day and spam folder too!? Get ready for the 26 Jan class, they said.

So I did.

I'd be super worried but I know a few of us are in this boat.
