Update Questions:

So I have an interview coming up wanted to ask a few questions that seem outdated on the forum:
1. Rough estimate on new hire reserve outlook
2. BWI base coming?
3. Training pay?

1. Depends on base, at the moment could be a few months to over a year. This will change with more new hires, but that's how it is right now.

2. No news of this.

3. Still the same. $1000 and $750 per diem per month for the first 3 months or whenever you finish OE.

This is 100% rumor and speculation.

Not necessarily, HQ told our class another east coast base is coming sooner rather then later.

Well then that settles that.

Crab dip instead of high fives or pictures of cupcakes.

I’ve been here for three years now and aside from my initial I have never had anyone other than RE the safety guy come in and talk to our class. Was this in a recurrent?

At May recurrent in May JM the new VP of Flight Ops came and talked to us. He had a Powerpoint prepared specifically for recurrent classes. No mention of BWI base though.

Was in a new hire class, day 1 is at HQ and several big wigs came to speak. All mentioned another east coast base soon.

#1 rule that most anyone can tell you who has been here for longer than a minute; never believe the management speak in new hire classes. It’s rah rah for new guys to get them excited.

Back in the day it was a “fly it like you own it” speech
