Interview now and youll probably get a class date for April and A ctp date for early april. You complete CTP in 4 days or so, then you start class soon after (may a week or so) training is like 6-8 weeks in SLC or DEN, then you have a week - three weeks waiting for IOE, then you complete two 4 day IOE trips and a line check, then you're cut loose into reserve life. IOE is basically on the job training. So 2-2.5 months to get from setting foot in class to flying the real thing, and then one more month or less to being cut loose into the system.
