Default Oh, just another HIRED thread... :-D

So I never made it to the Republic interview 2 weeks back because they didn't positive-space their candidates. But thankfully I was offered an interview by one of my two picks, ExpressJet (SkyWest being the other). Funny thing is that they offered me an interview two years ago and I didn't take it cause I was busy flying the King Air.

The Xjet interview was sooo easy. The week before the interview I spent countless hours studying anything and everything. Probably the toughest part was studying all the King Air systems.

I'll post more about it later in the Interview Experience section... For now, it is time to par-tay!!! Class date is August 27

Thanks to all of you here at JC... sure helps to have a forum family like you guys

as a side note, I don't know why Republic won't positive space interview candidates to their interviews. I had a friend miss his interview yesterday for the same reason. Kind of dumb if you ask me.

You think that's bad......I was in ALB yesterday and one of their pilots was trying to go to UPGRADE training.....space available?????? He had been bumped off several flights before he called scheduling to help bail him out. He said they wouldn't positive space him from his home town...only his base. That's NUTS.....do you want to upgrade pilots or not? As if upgrade isn't stressful enough.....lets just add more stress of trying to non-rev yourself to training. That's a complete insult....maybe there's more to the story, but it didn't sound like it from the info. I got.




On a positive note.....Congrats GDP on the new gig!
