No, it's a Continental Contractual requirement.

interesting, so they'll most likely hire about 20 for the saab? they told us they would run 3 classes, but i'm sure they were just speculating

There is also attrition. My number went up 7 notches in the past two months. It went up 54 in the past 12 months.

Chip can correct me on this but can't you bid for the Q if jdalbrec wanted the Q after 3 or 4 months since he'll be on the leading edge of the new hires

i'm sorry, i didn't quite get that. were you comparing my ability to bid for the Q compared to the soon-to-be new hires for the new Q or to Chip?

Does anyone know when the next round of interviews will be? I was called, but sadly the same day I got the call we had to take my mom to the hospital.... She had H1N1 that turned into pnemonia, and was on life support for most of last week. I couldn't leave.... so when I called on Tuesday of this week, Chuck told me they would consider me for the next round.

I hated to miss that first opportunity (first time to interview ect...), but I wasn't sure if mom was going to make it until they took her out of ICU on Monday.

that's too bad to hear. I was in the first group of interviews and they said they were going to run one this weekend and next, but you can read the earlier posts for more details

did you let them know you weren't coming? I could see them maybe not calling you again, just because they saab guys asap, and if they offered once, they might not a second time - hopefully they do.

We didn't schedule anything. Chuck sent me an e-mail that asked me to call, but that was sent on the Saturday we took mom to the hospital. So, no I didn't have an interview scheduled. I was unable to call until Tuesday.... That is when Chuck told me the e-mail was in reference to scheduling interviews. The e-mail I recieved was so short that I wasn't sure if it was in fact for an interview or not. It just said please call and listed a number.

yea, my friend received a very similar email and when he called the conversation ended up being about setting up an interview. Have you talked to them yet?
