Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA) is not going anywhere. You hear all the "Doom & Gloom" and rumors about a sinking ship. The same, if not worse, was at ASA when George and John ran the place. All airlines have their good and bad parts. ASA is, for the most part, a great place to work.

I can start training Monday. Can I just skip the interview process? I've been working on filling out the application and gathering all the info required for a week. It sounds like as soon as I get it sent back in I should get an interview date pretty quick. Joe started to give me an interview date right after the phone interview, he then stopped and said "we've got some time, I'll send you the app. and have you send it back before I give you a date." Are they booked solid on interviews? Your comment about not filling classes would suggest that they aren't. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to flying for ASA. It really seems like they are headed in a positive direction for the future.

I am fairly sure that you need to interview. That is something that they told me. They were looking for people that could come in on Friday and start Monday.

I was just kidding about that part. I should be sending in my app. Monday or Tuesday. I'm waiting on my college transcript to get here. If they want someone to do what you were saying why are they telling me "we've got some time."

That is true. As of Wed. of last week they only had 6 people to start the class this monday. They have since placed more people in it but I still dont think that it is full. What do you guys think about LAX. Does anyone on here know how long it takes to make line currnetly from the time you get done with all of your training?

I'm there on the 22nd as well for the interview.. I have some friends that work there right now that said it sounds like LA is full right now and they don't know if they will be sending more out there quite yet but who knows... it changes day to day I also know that there will be a class the 29th so it will be interesting if it fills up by the time I interview..hoping I do a good job anyway

I am interviewing on the 24th and he said most likely the 29th class. Heard LA is all out day trips so not to commutable. Can anyone confirm this?

acl65pilot

What you say about LA is true. There is one staged overnight to SFO. That is it. All of the other trips are four leg and two leg day lines.

Yeah that may be. But I would like to just stay in ATL. I interview on Thurs. and hopefully will get ATL.

I have an interview on the 25th at 1pm. I was given 3 interview dates (18, 24, 25) and told that the first two interview dates were for the jan 29th class, and that the 25th was gonna be for the early feb class unless there were still spots available. Also mentioned was LAX as a possible and likely base.

As for LAX... ASA just added more flights as of the 12th, adding a LAX-PSP-LAX with an overnight in PSP. other flights added was a LAX-OAK-LAX-CUL-LAX flight.

In response to a previous post regarding legs and commuting, the average flight starts at 0700 (unless its the PSP inbound that leaves at 0545) and lands from Mexico roughly before 1700.

Hope this information is informational and accurate. ASA pilots stationed there feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

As for the Interview, those of you with earlier interview dates that would like to share information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
