I got a job!
 

I just called my voicemail and had a message from Trans States Airlines offering me a May 9th class date for a first officer position flying jets! This is amazing! I have a problem though, I don't want the May 9th class date. I would rather take a class date the next month, but I'm not sure if it's a garunteed in or not if I put it off. My concern is that my graduation ceremony is the weekend after May 9th and I really need some time off. At this point I would be going directly from a final on Friday to ERJ indocrination on Monday. Thanks for any advice you may be able to give!

call the company up, talk to HR, thank them profusely, explain why you would want a different date, and ask if you can get a different date. if you're in, you're in, and a training session scheduling conflict won't make a difference. I'd imagine they'd be happier to have you rested and ready to work then frazzled after graduation!

Man, what a position to be in! :thumbsup:

Congratulations! Being in the air is a wonderful feeling ...

congrats man :P

Well, after much discussion with friends at the airline, my family, and people who have been in the business for many years, I've decided to take the class date. I already have a place to crash down there and a lot of the people in my class were also in my Purdue class. Thanks for the help!

Yeah I wouldn't try and screw around with it at all. With the job situation being what it is, they could easily find another pilot.

Congrats on getting the job.
