October 5th has a small class starting. Nothing solid after that.

Lack of communication is due to a lack of information. I know it's tough waiting.

Formal letters will be going out to the pool shortly and I will be personally touching base this Friday.

October 5 was contacted 12 days ago.

Unlike workopolis, Sonic (our new resume service) doesn't generate an automatic reply nor give you the number of hits that your resume has or had been viewed. You simply submit your resume and it goes into our database. It would be impossible to reply to every applicant personally.

When I refer to our pool I mean the handful of candidates that we interviewed prior to the slowdown. These are the people that I will be contacting to update.

We are starting to get some guidance for future courses, but I can't comment on details or numbers yet. It looks good though.

Dave.

Dave P. This may already be on here somewhere, but, for planning purposes for those wondering, how many pilots do you have hired (the pool) that are awaiting ground schools, and I know this is a hard one given the lack of information that you mentioned, but do you anticipate further interviews this fall as mentioned earlier. Thanks.

The pool size isn't that large. Interviews will begin in Nov/Dec.

Dave,
I have to say I love how you answer pretty much everybody's questions, usually with a really short delay !

I think this is a great display of work ethics and transparency ! If only more companies followed your lead. It would save us all a lot of headaches.

Thank you !

that brings me to my next question.... Dave, is there another ground school in October? If so, have those involved been contacted? And when are "the rest of us" going to get a call?

Heard rumours they are hoping for 2 classes in Oct and 1 in Jan. Are those all pool people or can we start to get excited again?
