Why don't you guys lay off the cyber bullying? Was this person's video really so offensive? I didn't see it.

Yes it was.

It was pretty embarrassing... bragging about making 10k+ a month as a year 2 or 3 capt at jazz working "minimal" overtime....

Literally impossible unless u do 110+ hours

Probably took 5 weeks off in a row and picked up a whole month of flying at 1.5x pay.

Ah, dont worry, he's removed all the videos from his YouTube. Guess AC is a better move than a regional and a YouTube channel.... :Shocking:

Talk about throwing birds at glass houses.TM Would be nice if some embarrassing or stupid thing most of you have here was made publicly aware just so you also can be chastised for months on end.

• 1 Regardless of the unintelligent videos, there are worse out there.

• 2 He removed said videos.

• 3 This has been ongoing for many months now, give it up, find another horse to beat off to death.TM

• 4 Proof that once again, there is no unity just toxicity amongst pilots

If you put those quotes on t-shirts I will buy them.

Anyone know when the next round of calls could be going out?

If they called for the Feb 17th class already before Christmas should we expect some silence for a while while they catch up?

Majority of the calls that went out over the holidays was for jazz. Candidates were sent an email asking for availability for the phone call and then were told their status on that phone call.

Not sure if this happened with the OTS.

[bob99]

They're still calling OTS guys for January.

I'm in a tough situation. Been waiting for AC to respond back from my interview for 5 months and recently got another offer better than my current job at Express. If I got accepted at AC I would still go there over the other offer but I also want to be honest to the other company.

Does anyone have experience with telling AC HR that I have another offer or would that just piss them off and more likely lead to a pfo? I tried emailing asking for my application status but got the response that my file is still pending.

How bad do you want to go to AC? If that's what you really want, then you should just wait until you hear back from them. They will not like that you tell them you have another offer and need to decide, nor like if you leave your current Express employer.

The best option is to defer your offer if you want to wait and see what AC says

[Ash Ketchum]

Thanks for the advice. I will defer the other offer or worst case just let it fall through. Aviation is an interesting industry. In my previous field of work it wasn't frowned upon to contact HR and speed up the process if another company extended an offer.

class of 36 started jan 6th.

26 express
10 OTS

[altiplano]

Very competitive OTS field. Military, Cathay, ANA, ME, Westjet, Sunwing...

Some deep backgrounds in a few of the Express new hires too, but also lots with 2.5 years at Jazz as their only job. I hope those newbs "literally have goosebumps and tears of joy." Jeezus...

It's scary to think your A320 Captain could have graduated flight college 4 years ago. But that is going to happen in a few cases.

I have full faith in pretty much anyone that passes the upgrade. There is no doubt that if they can't handle it, they won't pass.

The head of flight ops has said that if you can't handle it, don't bid it. AC isn't afraid to wash guys out of their left seat and that has large career implications as well, the loss of course right and eventually you are unupgradable if you fail again down the road.

But lots of guys are coming with the background to do it too, as I said just on this course I think I read 737, 767, 747, 777, 310, 380. Plus the pile of other Jazz/Sky/Ggn guys with a past deeper than Seneca class of '16...

If you can't laugh at yourself... at least you'll have your tears of joy!
