On a side note, is any aircraft training not in Atlanta right now?
If anyone is in the May 18th indoc class, when did you interview? Thanks.

This past week AK estimated 4-6 weeks til indoc. I think that can vary because they don't hire the exact same number of people every week because of conferences and stuff. Also sometimes there is an extra week between indoc classes due to holidays.

As far as indoc til sims, he said that when they put you in class they dont even know what the airplane selection will be until a few days prior because of all the movement going on. He said some people will enter training one week after indoc and some will be two months after. The good news is that you will know during indoc how long your wait will be, you don't have to wait for a mysterious phone call or email.

This could all change tomorrow, but it's what AK told us after delivering the good news last week. Hope this helps.

That tracks pretty close to what my interview group was told as well. However, I am starting to wonder if their timeline might be slipping some. We were told to expect to be in class first or second week of May but at this point, unless they call Monday, I couldn't give two weeks notice for a class the first week of May.

Do you know if any other people you interviewed with have been put in a class? If the interview group is split between classes they go by last 4 of social. AK said that they almost never give less than 2 weeks notice.

Oh wow, I guess my numbers are a little off then. These are big classes, but not that big. I guess I'm June or beyond.
