I believe you can update your profile/times anytime you want. If you've already applied, you're good.

I hope the window is not closed for too long, I heard we are losing two more fo's this month. Both around 5 or 6 months seniority.
If you ask certain FltOps management staff, we have no plans to hire the rest of the year as "we are adequately staffed." Ask HR/Hiring dept and it's a different story. Can't imagine how we can't hire more with new aircraft hitting the line in the next month or two. Even if they don't hit until sept like some claim, that's still 4 aircraft with a min of 11ish? per seat. While CAs are really understaffed, FOs aren't that overstaffed. They will need to hire or they're delusional in thinking we can staff 10 more airplanes as we stand now.
