Default Getting the calls

Hello:

I am 24 male out in Los Angeles. Total time for me is 1270 and 125 MEL. I meet and exceed the min's. by a little and yes have gotten the calls. Have interviewed at 5 places and nothing yet. I am very sad to say that and next week will be going to Plattsburgh, NY and RICKAIR7777 is aware of the problem.
Feel free to write me anytime [email protected] (All calls were within 1 month and some within days).

Take Care

well, both guys i interviewed with were wearing TSA pilot uniforms, and at the job fair today there was a different guy manning the GoJets booth (looked so bored and lonely over there)

but, thankfully, my wife is a lawyer, so i can put up with sitting on my keister for a couple of months until Piedmont interviews the recent grads from my university. their times are same as TSA's, and no danger of getting thrown into the blackball unit

Wouldn't expect the switch-a-roo yet...i was hired for the sept. 5th class, finish systems tomorrow and the new class starts on the 9th of Oct...Go Jet is hiring, but they're still filling their spots w/o the switch, atleast right now, and TSA is understaffed. should be 24 in the class starting the 9th of Oct, and 15/Mo for the rest of the year.

From another Boilermaker-turned-Waterskier, welcome to the group!

(As a side note, I don't suppose you're a now-ex-Hangar 6 guy who was an RA during undergrad? )

My letter of hire, all correspondence, etc., say Trans States Airlines. Everything at the interview is seperate, and they ask which you want to interview for. I'm don't even think this would be legal as all your PRIA forms etc. are for TSA, IIRC. Plus, I there was one guy who interviewed with GJ a few months back and was last week interviewing for TSA. Doesn't have the ring of truthiness to me. From whom is this 'word' coming?
