I had the same concerns. Look, as we discussed on the other thread, for the last few years almost everyone has been getting a class date within a few months of their pool letter. That’s what you can reasonably expect. I recall reading about 1 or 2 people who were in the pool for an exceptionally long time but that was years ago and I thought they weren’t exactly as proactive as they could have been to clear up the issue. I’ve never read of any Poolie on here dying in the pool (since this hiring wave started). And don’t forget the opposite has been true as well, guys interviewing and starting class days later. If you have a competitive resume and interview well you need not worry about these extreme outlier possibilities affecting you.

Corporate will reveal their 2023 plans for the Air District in Q1 but everyone agrees it will probably be a slow year for hiring.

When you are only hiring 20-30/month you can afford to be a bit more selective than hiring 100-200/month, even with a smaller pool to choose from. Our “advantages”, if they ever existed, are quickly eroding away. At this point the only major “advantage” to coming here is job stability and pension.

FOQA report

The letter states that job offers will resume once peak is over, based on candidate availability. This may seem like a silly question, but when is peak officially over?

Prolly the same day you open your presents. That said, probably depends on which holy book you ascribe to.

Early January, after we get paid to deliver all the presents, we get paid to return a bunch of them. The company literally makes money coming and going off of a lot of e-commerce. My guess is poolies will start to get some clarity on class dates by mid-January.

Prob right about when the next bid comes out

Did you all receive the same application update email(s)?

Yes, my understanding from HR was we would not have to reapply. Going to clarify

PlaneFlyer

Yes. You have to reapply each year until you start. Your CJO still stands, but HR said that you have to resubmit the application due to the way they process new hires.

Thanks.

I assume everyone also received the email instructing us to wait until Jan 1 before updating?
