There is a hiring event here in late February but I doubt I will be within 2 to 3 months of ATP minimums by then.
Should I wait a couple of months until I am closer to 1500 hours before I interview or would it be ok to interview with between 1,100 and 1,200 hours?
Any ideas?
Typically they want you to interview no more than 6 months before class, if 6 months pass you have to reinterview. So depends on how much you're flying . Really you will probably have to wait a month from interview before class so plan accordingly. Interview date doesn't effect seniority, only class date does so get in as soon as you can. Of course you can't go to class till you have atp Mins
