Does anyone have call outs, profiles, or memory items etc., that you are allowed to send out to us new guys coming in? I would really love the chance to study up on whatever I can ahead of time.

PM me if you wish or email me at [email protected]

Thanks, and will be most appreciated!!!

When is your class? If it is for the Saab nobody will have anything yet as it will be all new stuff.

Draden

Oh dang - its the June 4th class for the Saab. Was worth a try though. *smiles*

Another question - for those of you contacted about being in the class on the 4th, they say HR will be in contact with you about travel arrangements, and other requirements etc., but I haven't heard from HR yet after the initial call to offer me the class. Has anyone else heard form HR yet?

Don't sweat. I think I was called a week or less before hand. I didn't know my hotel until Saturday afternoon and class started Monday.

Thanks Cloud!

Hi to all current/soon-to-be Silver pilots... I joined the forum to personally thank everyone who has contributed meaningful content about the company and hiring process.

I "shadowed" this thread (without being a member of the forum) throughout my entire application/interview process. It was fantastic to get some insider perspective prior to the interview. The insight into the company was the best... the thread has put to bed some doubts I had, and I'm coming in with an open mind, looking forward to getting to work with some positive folks.

Again, thanks... hope to buy some of you guys beers. I look forward to meeting the other new-hires on the 4th in FLL.

You can buy me a beer.

It's so hard being patient with something that I've wanted to do for so many years and is finally in sight, but yet so far away. Someone from my class forwarded me an email from the CP regarding transition for those of us on the beech already:

"The preliminary plans at this time are for transition classes on July 2, July 30 and August 20 to move the people from the Beech to the Saab as a result of the Beechs being taken out of the schedule"

as a recent "...new hire you are seat locked for 1 year or until the next Staffing Bid comes out. The next staffing bid should be out in the near future and the seat lock will be released."

"As it stands now, you are fairly junior and would not hold the Saab at this time......You should be able to make the transition by August depending on the bidding process."

Does this mean the guys in the June 4th class will be displaced out of the Saab to the 1900? They are getting rid of the 1900...but I would imagine that if they lift the seat lock most 1900 guys are going to bid over to the Saab? What about direct entry captains in the June 4 class on the Saab?
