To ShineBrighter and Lama10:
Congrats to you both! I interviewed face-to-face earlier this week for a PT AO position at PVD and am now in the waiting stage. Can you shed any light as to when you did your drug test and lifting test relative to your f2f interviews? Just trying to get some sort of an idea as to when this may happen. Also, did you do these two components of the process and THEN receive the offer or vice versa? Any info you can share is greatly appreciated!

one more thing for Lama10- you said that you read on another site that there are other training classes in March and April; which site is that? I am just trying to get as much info as I can while in this stage of the process. thanks again!

Hi Littlerae,

I had my f2f on Dec . 19th, and my drug
Test on Jan.6th. My background check was
Complete on Jan 6. I received an email with
Offer letter attached on Jan. 31, and I start
Training on Feb. 12th in MCI

I can tell you that there is another class
Starting on Feb. 26th. Classes for A/O position
Run for 2 weeks.

I hope this helps:) It is a bit nerve wracking
Trying to figure out the whole interview/hiring
Process.

Also, I believe the information on Mar/April
Classes was on this site, but a different thread.

Best of luck!!!!

Oopps class is in MCO.....typo

Littleree.
Please refer to my earlier post for a timetable.

See you soon!! :) I can't wait till friday 2/7 to have the itinerary.. its like a bad version of Scooby-Doo..getting 1 clue at a time..haha

Thank you cupcake, and I appreciate your interest in helping us out! :) I do have a couple questions relating to the A/O position. I understand it can be ticket counter, gates, and baggage claim. Do you think B6 will assign us a designated area, or do they have us everywhere? How often are the bids?

Lama10,
I responded back about FT, so when I got the offer letter it stated that I was FT! All airport codes and airline codes are studied and perfected. Ready to learn the rules now.

Littlelee,
Be very patient, and remember "no news IS good news". Good luck!!

Drug test and fingerprinting was done same day, at the airport, weeks after the f2f interview. After the background check, like Lama10 said, they sent out the offers on 1/31. It felt like an eternity waiting!

Actually, it was my thread :D

Thank you to everyone who responded to my questions. You are so correct in saying that it is nerve-wracking! The B6 folks I met with said there would be more interviews this week and that they were hoping to make decisions (2 open positions) late this week or early the following week. I wonder if they make those decisions then go ahead with the background... at that rate, it would seem unlikely that anyone chosen for PVD would make the 2/26 class. Thank you again, and good luck to you!

Hey everyone! After reading this thread I decided to join in.

Applied for JB A.O @ JFK on 12/23
Virtual Interview 12/30
F2F Interview 1/14
Drug test 1/31
Finger prints 2/03
and now waiting for that acceptance email or phone call.

Sounds great, MissReed. Thanks for sharing your time frame and good luck! Keep me (us) posted as to your progress and I will be hoping you get that offer soon! May I ask you (and everyone) another question: Who was it that contacted you for the drug test/fingerprints - was it the local station themselves with whom you interviewed or the recruiter with whom you originally phone-interviewed with (or someone else altogether)?
Thanks again for reading and responding to my questions!

Hey littleree and thanks for the luck! The recruiter called me sent me for my drug test then scheduled me for the fingerprints through out everything only one person (recruiter) called me for everything. Hope I answered your question

Thanks again Missreed for the info. This coming Tuesday will mark two weeks since my face to face so I am hoping to hear good news soon. I wonder which happens first- the background check then they call you for fingerprints/drug test or vice versa? Seems like it may go either way. In any event, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and me both!
