Summer 2017 Pool
 

After the email last night from BK.
There's 153 poolies waiting for class...

Wondering how many poolies will actually make it to class? I personally know of 3 that have CJO's with another airline. And "other's" that have interviews at other places.

How many a class can/have they done in the past during a "pinch"? 50?

The 8 Dec 2015 class had 65 folks.

Just looking at the class drops for the last two new hire training last spring and it looks like about 25 per class. If that is correct, the current pool of 153 will be cleaned out before the end of Jan 18.....the hiring department will have to start interviewing and giving CJOs just to fill the classes currently on the books.

I personally know of 3 at my airline who were swimming and have accepted employment at DAL, FedEx and SWA respectively. Extrapolate that out and well....

I know three also... but all of them are going to wait it out and stay with United.
I think they should have jumped on any other interviews they got, but they felt otherwise.

Take the only class date you have, decide later if it's better to take another.

A bird in the hand vs. two in the bush and all that.

I know a guy who did newhire classes at USAir, then SWA, then FedEx, all within 12 months.

Regardless of whether you agree with his ultimate decision, I can find no fault in his methodology.

You know the which airline is the best?!? The one that hires you first!!

Anyone know if the 153 includes CPP folks or not? If not, would that delay those of us hired off the street in the pool?

There are at least 150 CPP candidates in a separate pool from one airline. The CPP candidates are given class dates as a percentage of total new hires. The percentage of new hire slots given to the CPP is 25% based on that one airline.

Short answer is not and yes.

Class after me in May had two guys leave on day 5 of indoc to start at Fedex , man times are changing .
