Any good rumors coming from the newhire classes? Lunches with Mr. Kelly?

3 Corporate type ratings
No 737 Type
0 Internal LOR

I'd trade 3 fingers to get an interview, and 6 to get a job offer.

Quick question ( actually for anyone) what does this 72 hr window do for guys and gals that get this email? Did you all already have an app on file, for the ones that are getting this email? If so when you filled out the special 72 hr app did it go more into detail or anything special?

Thanks

I agree- the app was the same. I did have my app in- no idea why I got the invite to apply during this time. I've been racking my brain trying to figure it out.

I suspect we got moved from a stack of thousands of apps to a stack of hundreds of apps. Hey, at least the line we're standing in got shorter.

So a guy who goes to this job fair gets moved to this supposed "short stack", but a guy with several thousand hours 121 PIC and a 737 type for over a year can't get a call/e-mail and remains in the "big stack"??? Yeah, that makes sense!!!!

I hate this industry!!!

I went to two OBAP events this year with 10 years worth of 121 experience and 3000 PIC in two jets and all I got was...It looks great!

I didn't see any restriction for any person to apply to the position on the opening. Am I missing something. It appears that any person can apply.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking coming from a guy that has spent almost a decade on the corporate side, and is ready for a dramatic change of scenery. Please, feel free to correct me if you think I'm wrong, it's only an assumption.
