from a friend who recently got the CJO, at least two classes in Aug. Unless something has drastically changed.

I think probably meant 12 more slots to fill. I'm sure August is mostly filled by now.

Default Aug 3rd Virgin America interview

I have a interview with Virgin America next week. Any insight on the interview process. Only HR questions right?

I would highly recommend joining aviationinterviews.com for a month and reading the Virgin gouge. It is spot on!

I know for a fact there is at least one class in Sept.

+1 on the above recommendation of aviationinteviews.com, best $20 I've spent in a while...

For anyone thinking about being in the end of the wave, you'll still have lots of Alaska side folks coming in under you. You'll also be in front of everyone Virgin side later this year and next year. Still going to be hundreds of pilots junior to you in a year.

ALL pilots hired on either side will be DOH on the combined list post deal closing of December 2016. So it makes no difference in seniority to be hired now at ALK or VX.
