Simple question (I hope); If a person is fortunate enough to interview with VA (I have heard interviews are the middle of the week), how and when does VA normally respond to the applicant? By email or phone? Within a few weeks?

Thanks in advance.

p.s. Any chance of serious replys, instead of the usual carnage?

Wednesdays for pilots. By email usually. Bad news travels fast, good news can travel fast or wait in maddening limbo for several weeks or more. So, no news is good news. Hope that helps.....

Thanks Fred,

So, bad news would be via email that same week, or good news via email a little later?

Thanks in advance...

If you get rejected, its usually within 1 week via e-mail. If you're hired, within 1 day to 2 weeks by phone.

i heard they were getting 17 planes in july alone, any truth in that...

Fred Flintstone

17 is way higher than the number I heard. Let's just say we aren't parking planes and the hiring & upgrades continue.

Sorry, I'm not going to discuss any inside info here.

If you know someone here seems like about 5,000 hours. If you don't then 7,000 or bus time. I have 6k with bus time but the other guys in my class have well over 10k

Hi "IFlyEm",

Do you know if it is fairly typical, if that during the 2/1 interview, that there is not much "feedback" to the answers given by the applicant? In other words, question asked, question answered, next question asked with no follow-up to the previous answer.

I am not quite sure what to make of it (if anything)...

They have standard questions so there is little variance in how the questions are asked or what questions are asked. If they want clarification on one of your answers they will dig deeper. I really wouldn't make anything of it. When did you interview?
