Are you looking for an interview prep 737 course?

How much does a "meet and greet" help with getting a interview?

Substantially...if the Chief writes you a letter after the M&G.

I just finished a week at the training center in DEN. I spoke with an interview Capt. I know from the line and 1 of the sim evaluators, interviews are going strong. There was a steady line of interviewees coming and going.

The furlough recall also just finished for the UAL side and 96 guys took class dates (Many of those have finished class), that leaves open spaces for the classes thru the rest of this year and 100's to be hired before the summer.

Good luck!

One small clarification. ~96 accepted recall during the last round but less than 50 have been assigned into the remaining classes this year as the remainder immediately went on MIL leave. And yes, that means there will be new-hires in every single class unless more furloughed pilots decide to return.

To clarify even further, 96 (Total out of over 1400) took recall, 49 since sli, approx. 600 took the offer to fly at CAL, now effectively recalled, 100's more on MIL LV (Could come back any time, as could the rest of the guys that bypassed-approx 500.) Bottom line, probably 400-500 more to hire prior to summer.

Awesome synopsis.

Thanks.

What is the monthly training capacity? I'm guessing that most of the new hires in Houston are 73/75/76 types. CV sent my job offer paperwork and made mention of airbus as an option. What is the likelyhood of that? Where are they based?

Airbus is certainly a possibility going forward. There were unfilled vacancies in IAH and JFK on the last LUAL equipment bid prior to SLI and I strongly suspect the same will occur with the current open bid. Reports indicate that the Airbus fleet is increasing staffing for an anticipated increase in training going forward.

The Airbus bases are currently IAD (includes DCA), JFK (inc. LGA), ORD, DEN, SFO (inc. SJC), IAH, and LAX.

What is the latest with the interviews and sim evals? How is Emerald Coast for sim prep? I can't seem to get them to call me back!?

How long is it taking from the end of the interview/eval until you get the good/bad call?

Thanks! Congrats to those of you recently joining the ranks! Exciting.
