So I'd say its more of an ignorance issue on your part than an arrogance issue at the top. Right now as I write this they are hiring nearly 30, 737 instructors with an additional 17, 777 instructors coming in the near future. And it takes a LONG time to get an instructor fully qualified and up to speed. It generally takes 18 to 24 months to get a guy fully up and completely qualified. It takes a good 2 to 3 months to get them where they are able to to the most basic stuff. The instructor hiring alone should tell you that they are getting ready for a big hiring push. But by all means, if Fed Ex calls take the class date. A bird in hand...... |

Unacceptable.
This is one of the problems with HR being (so) involved with Hiring. Let's be honest.. most non pilots don't care if they can put 'pilots' lives in limbo for a while. Would be interesting to know how many pilots who interviewed and got the CJO but then were left in limbo, started class with someone else. Hang in there and hopefully it's soon. If ya end up on the 756 in EWR, biers on me~ Always Motch I myself interviewed with Delta last week, got the CJO, and can start Indoc 2nd week do Sept.....a 38 day turn around. |

I know 3 people in the pool above me that have already started Indoc at either FedEx or Delta.

sorry to be the negative Nancy but those guys screwed themselves. A new hire at any cargo company today is destined for disaster. Between age 67 (or 68) and the push for single pilot airplanes (10-20 years from now) my guess is they will be back in the pool sooner rather than later.

Thing that chapped my arse was the 5 months or NORDO from United.
I interviewed in March and was told expect June Indoc. June obviously came and went... Not until Aug do we get the first bit of comms as to what is going up on. |

Seriously though- if you don't have a class date with U before the Delta class date, take it! You can always leave D and start class at U if you so desire. But the nightmare scenario would be to turn down D because you have a class date at U in Oct, and then the next war/catastrophe/downturn happens inbetween and you're on the outside without a seniority number. At the end of the day, the airline world (civilian world) isn't like the military world. You only have yourself looking out for yourself. As the lack of comm should show you~ Good Luck with whatever you decide. Good to be in the drivers seat! Always Motch |

Plain and simple the hiring slow down is a three tier issue. One the training center rebuild. They simply do not have enough space ready to go, to take on the training load. Two they are critically short of of 737 instructors after the Houston move. Three, the final stages of un-Jeffing the over staffing in some bases is in its final stages.
