Its about 3-5 months from interview to line, give or take. It can be longer if the company wants to "pool" but they don't seem to like to do that. If we ended up needing pilots for summer, they could run interviews as late as January or February and still be able to cover it, especially now with new hires having a much more efficient one year freeze.
