gentlemen:
Just try to realize the scope of hiring that is going on in QA and has been for years now. there is no such thing as personal attention and with hundreds of applicants you can imagine the back log that the understaffed pilot recruiting department is dealing with.

if you were told you will get a call or have chosen a date you will be contacted eventually, don't get your panties in a knot.. all departments around here have their hands over full.
hiring is contiuous 4 groups per month, 2 groups for Boeing and 2 groups of Airbus every month with no end in sight for the time being.. most all fleets need pilots in either seat, some fleets more than others. but the fact remains you will get a call so all you guys/girls just relax.

right now the biggest problem seems to be training, although we need pilots, that airline does not like to have pilots just sitting around for weeks or months waiting for SIM or Line training.. we have many pilots on the 777 who have taken 2 to 3 months or sometimes more to complete 20 sectors of line training due to the overwhelming demand on line instructors.. the back log is huge.
