I've heard there have been a growing number of people getting calls from the online app without going to a job fair.

The seniority you lose while waiting for a new contract will be worse than the current pay cut. Our pay flat-out stinks, but a new contract is coming. When? Your guess is as good as mine.

I flew with and Interviewer not long ago and he said they are cold calling off resumes and apps for interviews. Most of the guys are FO's from regionals . Says about 1/2 the people show up for interview- i.e. 20 invited to interview and 10-12 show up that day. I know when Allegiant got their new contract that helped their pool of applicants . There's no doubt a new contract would help with recruiting and retention.

Damn. Half show up and half of them get hired. So that's 25% of the apps submitted. Considering first year pay is such a huge deterrent to current regional captains, it's gotta be tough for the hiring guys to pick out guys they think would make good A320 captains in a couple of years! Hopefully the new contract gets passed soon so more guys want to go to F9.

Oh, along with whatever tax incentives they got I'm SURE they got us some new mud to slog through [sarcasm]

I'd actually like to know what tax incentives they got for doing this. There's a big push for companies to move into the DIA enterprise zone. Our current GO is well suited for subdividing for other businesses. At least they didn't move back to 25 & Peoria! Colorado redraws enterprise zone boundaries ? The Denver Post

I haven't seen the new place by CAE, but since they have the cash to settle with the FAs and buy a new building I'd say business conditions are just fine for complying with LOA 67.

I will never cross a picket line, ever. No on here knows who I am, or evidently how to read my posts, because you all think I mean something entirely different, when in reality, I am simply echoing the same sentiments that many people here have already posted.

I would be there on the 19th, but I have to work.

So which is it?

I don't think there's anything wrong with our reading comprehension...

And FWIW, it is not my intention to bully anyone, and I couldn't care any less how you operate your aircraft. My point is that we should all be doing at LEAST what our representatives have asked us to do, which, so far, is:

Wear the free lanyard they put in your vfile (I don't really care for it either, but hey, if they ask me to, I'll do it). If you don't do this, your are clearly and intentionally showing your lack of support for our negotiations, and have earned whatever feedback comes your way.

Spend half a day doing something our elected representatives and the really smart people we have hired to guide us through this process are asking everyone available to do.

I certainly feel we should all at least do these things considering everything our representatives and negotiators are doing for us.

I simply can't respond more respectfully than that.

I have no intention of being a "keyboard commando". I stand behind my words and would gladly share my identity via pm if needed....

I got a call from a recruiter not too long ago, unfortunately I was on a trip and unable to return a call the same day. I called the person I was told to call if I was interested and left a message. Three days later I received a TBNT email. Did I just miss an opportunity because I was unable to return a call due to being at work? Should I reapply, or did I just miss the bus. 6500 TT 5000 jet 3000 TPIC 500 121.

A bunch of TBNT emails went out, some to people with interviews already scheduled and some in class. I think they purged the resumes concurrent with a new requisition being published. I would reapply but also keep calling as I'm sure they aren't holding not answering the phone against you. They wouldn't have left a message if not answering the phone was a deal breaker.
