I think Compass is the only exception to this.
I 100% agree with you though, delaying interviews is a horrible strategy.
STARTING interviewing in November? Does your airline have a normal training footprint over Christmas? Or is it - like most - sort of screwed up by the holidays and the increased flying from Thanksgiving through the New Years? Perhaps it varies by regional more than I thought, but clearly, the ability to defer a CJO for up to six months seems pretty commonplace.
These ducks could have been in a row back in July, IMHO, assuming he could have gotten a CJO at all.
