I went. Then had an interview. I have to say that if working over there is anything like the interview process I'll probably stay until retirement if offered a job. I have never been treated so well or had an interview with the level of mutual respect that I had there. (in any industry or interview I've been on and there's been a few) A real class act... Now I wait...

Wow, your expectations in life must be low. You won't be able to retire on those wages. You won't even be able to live properly, let alone retire.

You don't know his personal finances why make such a asinine comment?

Stbloc... Two words my friend... Marry well.
Plus for me the job is the pay. I was forced out of the industry for a few years (as were many) in 2008. I absolutely hated not going to the airport every day. Just happy to be flying again... Hopefully soon with Silver.

Also they showed a video of expansion plans...
If you want to fly there put in your resume NOW...

Good luck everyone and let me know if you have questions about the interview.

There was a time when nobody wanted to fly for UPS and only the desperate guys took those jobs. They were the outcasts according to the legacy pilots. Be careful about saying, "my airline is better than yours...."

Glad to hear it. Had the same experience in Dec when I interviewed. You mentioned they showed you a video about expansion? Care to summarize what you saw? Just wondering if they've got stuff planned that us current Silver folk dont know about....

I think we've seen just the tip of the iceberg with these folks imo.
