Hey all,

I will be attending the Career Information Session in SFO tomorrow and was hoping to get some info before walking in.

This session is a walk in interview from what I can tell. Will there be any more components to the selection process or would a yes/no be given following this event in SFO?

Does the fact that its being held in SFO indicate an intention to open a crew base in SFO?

Are the lines for DEN based crew commutable to the west coast? Can anybody possibly PM a copy of a regular line so I can get an idea of what a typical month would look like?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated,

1. No SFO base.

2. DEN isn't open yet so no one knows.

This must be a new Trash States...I was there ending in 2005 and it SUCKED.

Typically commutable lines have you start a trip around noon and you either finish around early PM or late PM. They're usually 3 to 4 day trips and you will have about 11 to 12 days off.

Thanks all for the feedback.

"Typically commutable lines...."

Are commutable lines such as the ones you describe available for all trips or is it luck of the draw? Can you bid for commute friendly trips and if so is bidding based on start date?

Thanks again, sounding more like a job that could work for me.

For me I live in base. I tend to bid trips that shows at 12pm. The last day I usually drop my last round trip and be done at 6pm. Morning bids starts with a 7:30 am show time. Last day you are usually done at 4pm. While pm have 5pm shows on day one. Then last day you get done around 9pm.

I was informed that 500 hours of the 1000 hour 121 time requirement, could be satisfied by military time....but there are no "pure" military being hired directly as a CQFO.

January 14th has 14 CQFO. 2 FOs now. (one guy went to the next class and one FO left)

Feb 2nd class has about 9 CQFO 9 FO.Not exact numbers but it's close to that. Most new hire classes have a couple no shows.

January 5th 20 CQFO’s, 5 FO’s

January 14th 15 CQFO’s, 3 FO’s

The numbers I am coming up with are around 57 CQFO's and 14 FO's since December 3rd. Are these numbers accurate?

Thanks,

Speed
