Wonder how many people who end up in the pool for 6+ months last and come to work for us?
How many start at Delta, American, FedEx, UPS or SouthWest?
Yes, we should interview and have a pool.
No, the process shouldn't take 9 months or longer.. in the current environment.
Just my opinion.

PS> I will add that 6+ months might be ok for a Military guy who will be separating in the future. But for (almost) anyone else?!
I have multiple well qualified freinds that can’t even get one call let alone multiple. So for a lucky few they have a choice to make, for most of the others they will be very happy with a fall class date.
I had my app in since 2010 with everyone, didn’t get a call tell 2013 from United. Waited 2 months in the pool and started class. Its not as easy to get hired as some people think it is, even in this environment.
We’re just now putting people in class from March of last year. A few left the pool but a lot didn’t.
