Just wait for it
Its very much a waiting game guys just hold out. I put in an app in September 2015. Nothing came of it so i went ahead and got my CFI. Then got a call around April 16'. Also we have a sort of hiring boom around the same time every year just because thats when everyone from last year either moves on or upgrades. So if you really want it just hold out until Feb-March. From what I see we're due for some movement.
