i regret not being named after a cool VOR
Hey everyone.... I am new to this forum but i figured i would post and see if anyone is in the same boat as i am. 3 weeks ago I interviewed with Republic airlines for a dispatcher I think the interview went rather well. I started by meeting with the DX manager from Republic we did some basic company history Discussed why a west wind at DEN causes delays and such then went over my resume had a rather casual talk for about 20 mins then I got a tour of the Frontier SOC and the Republic dx after that we went to his office and he showed me the seniority list for all 4 airlines told me that Frontier might be moving Back to Denver but that was a big if. The he showed me how to do a flight release in saber and we discussed wages $15.70 an hour and he explained that the union contact was up in May and that he didn't know for sure if the contract was going to be the same or if they would start out at a higher pay. The only dispatch related questions he asked me was to read a current metar and had me look at DET weather to determine if i needed an alt. then we talked about the Indianapolis and how it has a lower cost of living that denver. Then he told me there was an opening in republic for a dispatcher also shuttle america had and opening and frontier was building an eligibility list. After about 40 mins with him the woman from HR came in and I answered some typical HR questions. then she asked me which airline i would prefer to work for told me about the republic opening and shuttle opening again and about frontiers list I told her i would rather work for shuttle or republic bc i still had a lot to learn and I wanted to build up experience before I really could consider going to a major airline. long story short we talked for about a half hour and she escorted me to the lobby and went to interview pilots. I was over all pleased with the whole experience I got good Vibes from everyone I met. But it has been almost three weeks and i haven't heard anything from them yet. The dispatch manager said I would get an answer pretty quickly because they were starting classes in 3 weeks. I know this is the airline industry and every time line is a rough estimate I am just wondering if anyone has interviewed with Republic airways in the past month and heard anything yet? I just want to kind of set my mind at ease for now and see if anyone else is in the same boat i am in or has any advice to why this has seemed to stretch out so long Or am I just being Impatient? Suggestions, Questions, Comment? open to everything here I know airlines take their sweet time hiring is this what i am experiencing.
