My guess would be Sept/Oct. There a pool of 30+, some have been swimming since early this spring. Classes are rumored to begin early September and with deliveries starting next spring and legacy airlines hiring, they will need pilots.

Nope. Some have been swimming since last summer.

I think we've only lost about 12 or 13 guys to attrition so far this year. I was expecting it to be more.

Ok, pardon. But the rest should be a good educated guess as to app windows and classes.

2 of my buddies were in the pool and accepted classes elsewhere. My guess is this could keep happening. So who knows how many in the pool that haven't gone elsewhere already.

Question for anyone flying for VA...

Looking for the head of pilot recruitment or the person in HR to whom I can address my cover letter. I dislike putting "To Whom is may concern". If you don't wish to post, please PM me.

Please and thank you!

Majority of hiring at the majors is flowthru and the rest is military... leaving a small percentage of civilian street hires.
