Several people have been getting calls to come to an earlier class because people have been declining between offer and class date.
I was going to basically say the something. Full class does not equal an originally scheduled class. I'm sure guys are getting short notice class offers at all airlines today.

Frogs,

Did they give you a choice of classes? Just curious what the next available class dates were after the May 4th class? Thanks.

The first indication I got was that Friday when I got an email from 3rd party vendor doing background checks saying they didn't have permission to contact my present employer for my drug and alcohol records. This despite I had given permission on all my forms. I sent email back immediately saying they could contact employer. The following Monday afternoon 3 of my internal references got called. Of course that night I got another email from 3rd party vendor saying the needed my permission to verify employment or provide other documentation. Apparently they've had some issues with this vendor. The next Wednesday, one week after interview, I got called to go do drug test.

Yes, May 4th or 25th. In our 3/29 interview group we had 14, 6 in a.m. (2 no shows), and 8 in p.m. As far as I know 10 got the CJO call, 3 are in 5/4 class, 3 in 5/25 class, 2 in 6/1 class, and 2 we haven't heard from yet. Hope that helps

I noticed the "Classics" are going away faster than planned….I wonder what that will do to hiring for this year?
