?'s for the JBs out there:

1. What are JB's schedules like (especially for commuters)?
2. What's with the contract you have to sign?
3. How long can one expect to sit reserve?
4. How long before one is able to hold LGB?

Thanks, I'll think of more!!

Yeah, not sure about your class but we didn't have the option for the 190.

See you in a week, our class is buying you beers the first day and giving you a train and an owl. It'll make sense later.

Do a search for Q1-2 on this site and you'll find most of the answers your looking for. They have been discused at length.

As for 3-4 it could quite literally be 1mo. to 10years depending on what happens.

B737, DC10 types
5,500 hours
AF Check Airman
44 years old
(Furloughed from AA since '01)

Again, good luck to all those who get an interview.

I keep hearing 200-400 new hire this year but does anyone know how many have already been hired?

Has it been 2 classes a month since Jan or just 1 a month? How many new hires in each class?

Latest scuttlebutt from the OSC is: March classes canceled and hiring to be either suspended or slowed UFN. Possibly due instructor exhaustion, Sim avaibility and needing pilot-instructors back on line.
