I think a meet and greet/ job fair is basically a requirement to get an interview.
Consider that at the last meet and greet in Chicago there was around 90 people that attended. They did 10 on site interviews. I’m guessing they offered Denver interviews to at least 60 more. Now consider they do two interviews a week with 10-15 people each. That means they fill 2-4 weeks worth of interview slots with each recruiting event. This includes the meet and greets, NGPA, aero solutions, WIA etc.
So once again. If you want an interview. I highly recommend attending a recruiting event even if it’s the virtual job fair on the 19th.

You’d think so, however, we’re the only airline in the country and possibly the world that staffs on block hours and not airframes... now you’re probably thinking to yourself, “but our CBA says that a certain amount of block hours has to be put into open time!”... and you’d be correct... the company staffs the airline based on reserves HAVING to fly and hoping lineholders will pick up open time... brilliant

The only ones I see are aero crew and RTAG in the next month. I didn’t know we hired straight Helo pilots?

My group was told to expect a June class but they won’t confirm dates until 30 days prior. Think I saw where a recent candidate said they are telling people July now.
If you haven’t I would subscribe to the new recruiting Facebook page as I’m sure that’s the first place hiring events will be posted.

I don’t really have current info. I interviewed early March and at that time it was every Tuesday and Thursday. I believe they invite 15 per interview and normally have 10-15 show up. History shows they hire about 50% of each group.

I am waiting on the official word from F9 on the May 6th class but nothing yet. Was moved from the April class to May. Has anyone else received official notification on the May 6th class yet?

Someone also mentioned 17 were in the April class. If that’s true I guess about 15 were moved from April to May so maybe a few will be moved from May to June. Hopefully there’s no more shrinkages. I guess patience is a virtue, but it’s hard being so close to being out of regional hell.
