I think they projected late summer or fall with the cjo. They were really nice about providing updates when I contacted my poc but were generally very vague. I tried to check in about once a month starting in March due to summer work decisions I had to make. I got passed off to a number of different pocs during the process. The last point of contact mentioned maybe 2020 to start training hence one of my incredulous posts prior. A week or so later I was offered a class date in sept. Point being you just never can tell. I’d advise to take it all in stride as much as possible and just keep studying; definitely stay in touch with them but don’t expect any detailed info. Make them understand your are available and excited to start.

For what it’s worth I’ve heard stories of opportunities coming up for class dates with 1-2 weeks notice; presumably from people dropping out last minute. I got one of those myself for 2 weeks before my class date. It wasn’t worth it for me as I need to study the atp, hadn’t recieved any computer based training yet, etc.- I didn’t want to flunk out. If you are a super quick leaner, dialed on your atp, and/or have jet/glass cockpit experience you could remind your poc of your availability with short notice.
