2. My wife is pregnant and due six weeks after my interview. What is the process for delaying class dates like (if that’s an option)? And how far out is one allowed to delay?
Obviously no guarantee I’ll be hired but trying to gather more information for the future possibility. Thanks.
If you get the CJO, almost immediately they’ll ask if you have any major life events upcoming. I would say a newborn qualifies. YMMV, but that was true when I was hired spring of last year.
As far as training timeline, I believe it’ll depend on availability date for Indoc and then your fleet-specific IQ will happen at some point thereafter. I got the 717 and had almost no wait between Indoc and IQ; some of the folks in my class that got the 737 had 6-8 weeks between Indoc and sims.
Good luck on the interview!
