I know paranoia gets ramped up during the hiring process, but this almost strikes me as some kind of HR headgame, to see what your reaction was.

On the other hand, that would require actual planning on their part. And judging from the amount of time airline employees spend putting out brushfires these days (about 100%) as opposed to working from a plan, it's probably exactly what he said it was.

Good luck!

Maybe that's Airway's new version of a pre-employment medical. They call and cancel your interview and if the stress from having your shot yanked out from under you doesn't give you a heart attack, aneurism, or stroke, you're probably healthy enough to hire.

Good luck Hub.

I heard in the latest class to start there were several Mesaba/Pinnacle captains. Also one pilot from Jet Blue and one from Allegiant. Not sure about the rest. Next class will be larger at 22.

Do they normally give you just over 2 weeks from when they call you for a class date?

From what I've seen, they call you about 5 weeks prior to your class date. You have to get your PRIA stuff done.

Sorry this is probably a redundant question. After an interview I know it can take up to 6 weeks to hear good news. How fast do the rejection emails typically show up? TIA!

My interview 'partner' and I both heard within 2 days of each other (about 4 weeks after). One was a yes, one was a no.
