Expected class date is Dec. 9 (last one of the year, so I'm told) with a possibility of being bumped into early January. I got the call on a Tuesday. My understanding, though is that while they may change their schedule on an individual basis, the hiring board most commonly meets on a Wednesday and tries to make calls that day. In fact, I interviewed on a Wednesday afternoon and heard Kristin making congratulatory calls while I was waiting in her office. Form answer from the interviewers is 1-2 weeks to hear back.
Golfn, maybe I'll see you in class- you're not by chance a C-17 driver from Kentucky, are you?

Best advice out there. Its ~$3million job over 20 years. Spend a few hundred $ to get prepared!

Airlines always hire up to the date they furlough. My advice to anyone switching companies and joining the bottom of a seniority list is save as much as you can. You should have at least 1 years pay in the bank at all times and even that may not be enough if we go through another financial melt down.
Good luck to everyone.

It is unlikely for that to happen, especially with the mandatory retirements, but you never know.

One of my FOs in 2001 had just left Eagle where he was a Captain there and had been there for 11 years. He was on the property about 6 months before he got furloughed at United.

Early 2008, UAL pilots, some recalled furloughs thought the worst was over. Well, 1500ish of them found out differently. And many of them, for the SECOND time.
You NEVER know.

Summer 2001 there was rumor of a slight furlough at UAL with the economic downturn that had started. However, on Sept 10th 2001, everyone was STILL OK......

Agreed, landscape now is much different.
Hope for the best, plan for the WORST. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, a few times.

Anyone attend the ERAU career expo on 10/8? Wondering if anyone has received a call or email yet? I felt I had a very positive mini interview. Trying to see the usual timeline after career events.
