As above original expansion plans for next year have been reduced. A lot of the domestic progression will be on to the EJET from current CRFOS (approx 30). The 6 or so 737 spots will most likely be taken by EJET fo's.
I believe they are going to interview for the group from now on, and what ever they offer you will be based on what is currently available, which by the sounds of it will be CRFO positions.
Keeping in mind this place is ALWAYS changing.

Is there any truth to the rumor that some people got a start date today?

EJet courses slated for FEB-MAR next year.The rumour is 48 pilots.So they must be anticipating a lot of transfers to other fleets?

Wrongwayaround. Your question has caused quite a stir from all of us sitting on the eternal hold file waiting for the call - but from the replies so far I'm guessing the answer is - No.

I can confirm that I personally know one (1) guy who got a call on Monday for a 777 CRFO start date being Feb 4.
wrongwayaround, yes there is truth to that rumor.

Pretty quiet today. Which makes me wonder...what if you're out flying and you get the call and your phone is off? Do they leave a message to call them back? Or have you missed it and they move onto the next person?

If an employer treated you that way, would you really want to work for them? Given most of the guys I know are relatively happy with how they're treated, I'd say they'll be leaving you a message

They usually leave a message unless you reject it, or don't get back to them in time for their deadlines. I know people who have called back and asked for 48 hours to think about it

Ok, from PM's and this thread looks like a course has been notified during the week for a 777 CRFO course in Feb. Well done those guys!

Other comments on this thread suggest an E-Jet course in Feb as well, with others to follow Mar & Apr. So will we hear of guys getting the call before xmas for the first E-jet course, or are they going to wait until after the xmas break, or even worse, the voting up of the next EBA?
