They're still more than happy to put you in whatever type you want as long as you are willing to wait.

If you need a job yesterday and the 777 is the next available class it might be good for someone same for waiting around a month or so for the 747 if you have that luxury. Just like every airline though every class that gets passed up (even southern) is more people underneath you on an eventual joint seniority list. In Southern's case it's a bit of a gamble for how long until the joint CBA is signed but hey that's aviation.

Whatever, iPilot. The point is they are lying to applicants through their teeth and telling them a contract and SLI will be signed by October. Our own CEO has contradicted that statement. That's enough fake news to make Don Lemon jealous.

Why would they be worried? Doesn't matter if they win or lose, because they win either way. Their goal is to delay signing a new contract as long as possible. The longer they delay a new CBA, the more they save and the more it costs us. Anyone who thinks we are gonna get "retro pay" is sadly mistaken, ain't gonna happen as management won't give back their savings earned through the delayed CBA.

This deteriorated quickly, from super informative hiring/interview info, into a worthless rant. The contract sucks and the Company is screwing you...got it already.

People need to stop making crap up... there's enuf real news that we don't need fake news. Fact is that they are hiring on both sides. Started 2 767 classes with FW Pilots, yes 2 classes were cancelled and that sucks for the people effected, but bottom line is the company added exactly the same # of people they planned to add via the classes they cancelled by replacing the "cancelled" classes with the FW Pilots. Moreover, there's another 747 class starting in the next few weeks, seems strange that new hire classes continue at a place that's "not hiring". Again there's enough screwed up crap that's real... let's stick to truth/facts and leave the lies to the msg board trolls and management.
