I heard the same number for 2016...about 600-650 from a buddy of mine there.

Sorry, I meant 650 for 2016. 2015 remains at 365. Good catch.

Thanks, anxiously awaiting a call (or email ) from my interview 3 weeks ago.

Are the notes from the interviews passed on to the system chiefs so that they make the decision on hiring during these boards? Are the lists of potential hires posted on the intranet in the interim and open to comments?

Yes, the interviewer and HR notes are passed to the Chiefs. I have never heard of anyone whose references were called not getting the nod, but I am sure it has happened.
A list of interviewees is posted and you can go and put in a positive or negative recommendation on our company intranet. If I didn't think someone should work here, I think I would just call the chief or go into his office vs a faceless form.

Default Anyone know how seniority is determined?

Just curious to how seniority is determined for new hires?

Thanks

DOB. Oldest = most senior.

May have been discussed, but may have changed since...New hire hotel provided by the company? New hire pay min guarantee or something that resembles it? All training in Dallas?
And more importantly, how's the interviewed/hired ratio these days?

The company provides all new hires with a hotel room for the duration of training. New hires receive min guarantee from day one of training, most likely either 87 or 89 trips for pay. All ground and sim training will be in Dallas, usually between 6-7 weeks. They want to hire everyone they bring to Dallas for an interview.

I interviewed in November. Out of our group of 6, I'm pretty sure only 3 were hired. No idea about the morning group, or the rest of the week's results.
