A friend of mine talked to one of the AS chief pilots last week and got this.... The app window will open AROUND the first week of March. All current apps will be flushed. Good luck. Interviewing will start again sometime after that. Probably at or after the WIA in BNA. ( my guess) Current pool will fill classes through May. Then maybe approximately 100 more will be hired for the year. They will transition to some "talent community " Facebook/ linkedin like platform in the near future. It will allow you to update your info and quals more often.
