I interviewed on the 24th & 25th, received a call yesterday the 30th. 1300TT 54 Multi, CFI, CFII, MEI.

Trained at the good ole MTSU-Middle Tennessee State University for the guys who can't figure it out. Received most of my time flying VFR for Jabiru USA in the new Light Sport aircraft.

Yeah there was a brief phone interview mainly about what type of licenses that I have and accidents, thereof. Wasn't much.

I will see if Robert is there, pretty sure that we will all get to know each other quite well.

surreal1221 · January 31st, 2008, 18:23

I see you interviewed the 24th and 25th, but when did they make the first phone call to do the HR phone interview? Also, when did you receive the application packet to fill out and mail back in?

I just recently sent mine back to them overnight last night, trying to get an idea of how long it has been taking for them to potentially call me back.

777forever · January 31st, 2008, 18:47

Congrats! Welcome aboard

pilot_man · January 31st, 2008, 19:59

Well I had a friend walk in my resume. Then it took about 4 days to get a call back. After the approval I got my packet in about 2 days since I'm in Tennessee. It took a couple of days for me to send it back in. The hardest thing was figuring out the dates of my previous jobs.

johnpeace · February 2nd, 2008, 08:08

I interviewed on the 30th/31st and got a call from Dan Robertson the following morning offering me a job.

I'll be in the 2/11 class too!

I've been instructing in NE Georgia for the last year: 1050 TT / 80 ME

Looking forward to it!

Congrats and Welcome to JC!!!

mastermags · February 3rd, 2008, 09:33

Congrats to the both of you!

flyingmaniac · February 3rd, 2008, 18:41

Yeah I'm really stoked about the whole idea. I wonder which hotels will we be staying at. I haven't gotten my package yet, though.

johnpeace · February 3rd, 2008, 19:23

He didn't say anything to me about a package. I figured since first 2 weeks are basic indoc, they'd wait until then to give us any materials to study.

I also don't know anything of hotels...or anything else really.

I'm sort of starved for information, if you hear anything let me know.

I sent you my email address in a PM.

P&H · February 5th, 2008, 02:16

Best of luck in groundschool. If you want to actually fly more than once every 3 weeks and hold a line, bid the jet.

If you want to fly a fun as heck plane with great crews but only once in a while, and while on reserve for the rest of your time on the plane, bid the ATR.

::sigh::

flyingmaniac · February 5th, 2008, 08:20

Yeah that is what I heard! I can't really decide if I want to be on reserve and long or short time (other things to do). But it's helpful hearing "the word" from guys that have been there.

M.

I'm about a month ahead of you guys, welcome aboard! You should get a package of paperwork to fill out before you come - they'll fedex it to you. If you haven't gotten it by tomorrow, call them! It will have hotel info and a list of required documents. We're booked at Hyatt Place on the south side - you can expect similar quality.

Don't worry about indoc. Study while you're there but the instructor's policy is 'No child left behind'! If you have specific questions, let me know, I'll help if I can!

johnpeace · February 5th, 2008, 10:45

looks like we're at LaQuinta.

Congrats guys and welcome. I've been here a year and really enjoy it. John, where were you instructing in NE GA? I started flying at TOC, so I was just curious which airport. If I remember correctly you should get the package of paperwork before the interview. I'd be surprised if you were staying at a La Quinta. Most new hires stay at the Weston or Hyatt Place. I would also bid for the 200. The 700 is much nicer, but the 200 has a much better QOL. Good luck guys.

Andy

johnpeace · February 7th, 2008, 20:30

Been teaching at GVL for the last year.

We are, in fact, at La Quinta.

Looking forward to getting started.

P&H · February 7th, 2008, 20:35

Congratulations. Hope you don't get stuck with the ATR. Great plane and crews, but you won't see the cockpit more than once every 3 weeks on reserve, and reserve is a while right now.

Best of luck.
