Incidentally, I still haven’t heard of ANY Aviate guys (outside of the CPP) getting a class date. Has anyone else? These pilots are still waiting patiently. Let’s hope they are in class soon. They have waited quite a while for their call.
I'm guessing that I'm pretty high in the second decile - I haven't heard of too many XJT folks that were senior to me that went through the process successfully. I also don't know how applicants who interviewed at the beginning but are from different companies are blended into the FIFO list.
I'll let you know when I hear something.
I've been hoping for the phone to ring since the announcement in April and I've been reluctant to commit myself to anything serious knowing that this could happen at any time. I don't want to accept a position with someone who is going to invest an enormous amount of money in training, only for me to leave in a few months.
Also unsure how the review board will look upon my lack of currency for October through March.
Just hoping to hear something soon so I can make some plans.
