These ducks could have been in a row back in July, IMHO, assuming he could have gotten a CJO at all.
No no, let me rephrase. Most CJOs are indeed valid for 6 months, and delaying interviewing is stupidity.
But also, most will get you a class date a few weeks after a CJO, and most regionals will give you a CJO a day or two after the interview.
If you interview in November, I'd expect most regionals will get you in ATP-CTP in December.
Every regional I've talked to run classes first half of December.
