They gave a presentation day1 and collected resumes during small group talks with either a pilot or HR recruiter during the job fair portion.

 

Anyone know if any 17 APR CJOs have received invites for the 17 SEPT BI class?

This may be the slowest the days have passed since I was 6 and waiting for Christmas....

 

Lol that was funny, I haven't heard anything either.

I'm a 17 April CJO and was lucky enough to get a 17 Sept BI invite. I know a few others from my interview group also got invitations.

 

I wonder if the class is now full or not.

I'm getting tired of pulling the honey pot on the lav at my current gig and Denver has nice weather in September....

 

Sorry - thought I included this in my previous post, smart phone outsmarted me:

CONGRATULATIONS! Just out of curiosity, what day did you interview? I'm still trying to figure out if they pull you for class in the order you interviewed or some other method unknown to those of us in the pool.

 

Thanks! I interviewed on 10 April. After comparing notes with other folks in my interview group, it looks like they its based on CJO date, then last four SSN--lowest to highest. That's our best guess at least.

 

Interesting....I interviewed in the afternoon on 10 April, and my SS# last 4 is in the 6800 series.

I understand Pilot Hiring not having the bandwidth to keep those of us in the pool updated when we might be going to class, but it is a but unnerving to see folks you interviewed with getting class dates and you're wondering if they forgot about you or not. I keep muttering "keep the faith" to myself, but if there was someone to slip through the cracks and be forgotten, that'd be typical of my luck...hence the screen name!

 

Keep the faith brother, I felt the exact same way. You can always reach out to Pilot Hiring as well and they'll try to give you a ballpark estimate, but based on CJO dates you should be getting the call soon too.

 

Hello all;

I am a 737 instructor at United's Flight Training Center. I can’t tell you the whole story on class dates and hiring (because I don’t know) but I can tell you what’s going on with our fleet right now.

All the massive fall hiring was planned for the 737 MAX fleet growth on top of our ever rising retirements. You guys of course are aware of the Max situation. We have done a lot of hiring on the 737 in hopes of getting the Max back. Now we are most likely over staffed on the 737 (line pilots and instructors)

Management has told us that they will keep classes going and hire into the 756 and airbus; as to not fall behind on replacing our seniority list.

Our group is optimistic that the Max debacle is starting to show signs of light at the end of the tunnel. That being said it won’t be break neck hiring back on the 737. It will be a slow and metered pace getting our airplanes back on line.

We expect an uptick in hiring with the MAX back and a further increase once our G building is complete. We are getting 3 Max sims and 2 Dreamliner sims in that building with room to grow (we have heard rumors of an additional building on top of that). Not too sure on the timeline on the G building but going to work everyday and seeing the progress it looks pretty close. I think the actual sims will arrive early Q1 2020.

I hope that helps guys and gals; I know it’s not the whole story but that’s what I’ve heard so far.
