Hey pilot207, I first filled out the app and did the test about 9mos. ago. I interviewed Oct. 1st and notified that I got the position end of nov. Told about class last week. So, its a fairly long process, for some. I say that, because a guy in my interview class was called last minute, like 36 hrs prior to our interview and was hired and in the late nov class. I have a friend in class now that was hired in July/Aug and was offered class in mid-dec. There could be mitigating circumstances for each person, may be how quickly they can research the person and how fast the background check comes back?! Good luck and if you need anything let me know.
