  1. (.....right until they go home and take turns dominating each other with crude mid evil instruments)... I didn't know evil instruments had different settings.
  2. This was posted at a recent OBAP job fair (MIA) recap on APC...I know these are what recruiters for the Airlines are telling folks, but interesting nonetheless. Lot of opening the floodgate talk. "I just returned from obap. It was my first job fair, and coming from a military background I had no clue what to expect. I arrived Wednesday about 2pm. Both Delta and United had 2-3 hour lines. The rest of the vendors, including US Airways, Jet Blue, and Fed Ex, had no line. I waited at Delta and had about a ten minute mini interview. They took notes on the resume, asked questions, etc. Their basic run down was hiring next year, likely indefinitely, but a lot would be flows. At US Airways, they just took your email address down to log you in, expressed their frustrations at the selection process, then sort of have us interview advice... Ie personality driven, demonstrate basic knowledge of flying (referencing military or your company specific policies ok for situational questions) and then said indefinite hiring with little to no pause for the merger. I got a pretty generic yeah you're qualified from Jet Blue and to just keep applying. Fed Ex was nice but said no hiring quite right now. I came back the second day and obap was a ghost town. No lines. I chatted with American. They would not take resumes but were extremely upbeat about absolutely massive hiring without stopping and an app window opening very soon with tbd vendor and interview style. Little to no pause for the merger. United was also extremely positive and I got lucky enough to spend ten minutes or so with the chief of pilot hiring in Houston. Super nice guy who just asked basic questions, like why would you quit a full time guard job to work here. United handed out a fact sheet basically restating the numbers you see on here. 250 or so through this year depending on recalls then the flood gates open. My impression is that delta and united were there to hire and the others were there to support a good event. Spirit was the only legit carrier not present. I did not stop by southwest, Alaska, or ups but they had booths along with Walmart, the navy, flight safety, and border patrol."
  3. Thanks for the great post Chang. This 11m already made the decision pre-bonus announcement but good to know. Big Blue has always been good to me and I wish them the best.
  4. This. "With the flash"...ugh.
  5. ^^^ Amen. We've been at "war" for 10 years, burning both ends, flying around a country with terrain, field elevation, and weather extremes that challenge any aviator.
  6. Flyboy, we're sorry you're stuck in the back of a crappy life/airframe. You add nothing to the conversation. Troll elsewhere.
  7. Every time someone posts in this thread...AFPC kills another puppy. Where is the bonus $$$?
  8. A lot of sound and fury here...signifying nothing.
  9. That's two weeks I can't get back...this smacks of office space.
