Hiring tracking (opposite of furlough tracking)

Well, ok.
So apparently it is required.
Fine.. I'm not applying so it doesn't matter that much, I was merely curious.

Mike, Im' not sure if there's a missing sarcasm tag or not lol.. if there isn't though and they actually do require double occupancy? I'm glad to know that and will avoid places such as that;
Like I said, I'm not 19 and wanting a bunking-up camping trip atmosphere lol..
Good stuff to know.. never really had planned on applying to GoJets because of what I've heard, but if other places are like that, I will also steer clear.
Sleeping alone and having your own space doesn't make you a non-team player.. and if they see it that way, I want nothing to do with them.
 
Uh, im pretty sure its not required to stay at the provided hotel for any airline's training. You can stay where you want, just show up for class.
 
Well that would make more sense. Going to an airline shouldn't involve some high-school type of team-building exercise where you have to stay in cabins together and do trust falls lol.

I was mostly curious, I'm not especially interested in GoJet because of the crap I hear about them.

I only know of one regional who provided single occupancy during training, and they're bankrupt. Then again, I haven't been in the 121 world for long. Does anyone else know of airlines that provide single occupancy lodging? And for clarification I could say, pilot groups whose union negotiated contract states that single occupancy lodging during training will be provided by the company.

Silver provides single occupancy lodging and it is also in the contract.
 
Just stumbled upon this thread. Sorry I'm late to the party.

Cape Air provides single occupancy lodging to all new hires, along with minimum pay ($600/week) during training. I can't remember if this is part of the contract now or not, as I was hired prior to the contract being ratified.

I wouldn't go for any of the double-occupancy nonsense, either.
 
CommutAir is still hiring classes of 8-10 from now until basically forever. Despite what you may have heard, things around here are improving ever so slowly.
 
I've heard that XOJet is hiring, but also that they have 8000+ applications on file and you have to know someone to even get a peek.
 
Silver is hiring will continue to hire for who knows how long. Exponential growth right now so they are in need of pilots faster than they can push them through training. Most newhires are going to the Saab, but they still will hire some for the 1900.

Interviews have been bumped up to three days a week recently and there is a fairly constant stream of potential pilots at the Training Center for evaluation. With the projected growth, if you get hired now as an FO, chances are you will upgrade fairly quickly.

Its pretty much standard now. Even Mesa provided single occupancy hotels (or a 3-4 bedroom apartment on Williams Air Force Base where each person had their own bedroom) during training and full pay (min guarantee) while in training and that was ~5 years ago?

I applied for a Saab Captain position and was invited to interview. During the interview I was informed that the mins for Captain had changed and that I was no longer eligible. I was offered a Beech FO position. Apparently all hiring is for the Beech for the time being.

That we are and are continuing to take more deliveries. Knowing someone is the trick but I cant crack the code here lately bc I have been trying to help a few friends on for a few months now....I do know that the pilot recruitment folks are BUSY so thats probably the reason for the delay

You've failed your first test as a team player. :)

With due respect, being a team player does not require to sleep in the same hotel room as your colleague. I have over 15 years experience in IT and I have worked with colleagues on the same floor, office, as well as, in different states and countries. We have met up for conferences, seminars, and meetings, etc. We work together as a team but do not require to build the camaraderie by sharing a hotel room. I realize the culture and business practices in the aviation industry are a bit different.
Some will follow the practice and others will opt for options, such as finding a room on their own dime :) We are not in college anymore. We are professionals, who should be treating with dignity and I dont think going along with the status quo helps.
Again, I realize many of you are seniors in airline/aviation and may disagree but I just did not think going along with room sharing qualifies one as a team player. Cost savings hits the pilots from pay to work and living conditions, etc. I also realize this is the norm that is more like a "take it or leave it" kind of deal :)
My apologies in advance if I hurt the sentiment.

The smiley that was attached to the end denoted my comment as being humor. :)

I figured that covered for the sarcasm tag. :D
