I think AtlasVet clearly articulated the tasks which training must accomplish before hiring can resume.
Two additional items: how will all the successful candidates who weren't offered a job going to be handled, and will past applicants be dropped back in to the process at the same point they were at or will they restart from square one? Those issues should affect when a brand new applicant may get an interview offer.
My poorly-educated guess is new hire classes in June after the 737 folks get going in their transition courses. That means interviews as early as February, maybe. Come back next year to rag on me for being wrong.
I can add some insight to these questions.
Under the current system when one has a previous Conditional Job Offer and they have not been brought to class for 6-12 months, they simply update their application and get a warm up interview by one of the Hiring Leads. Then they would be brought onboard.
If they go past 12 months they are required to complete the whole process again, although the interview team members would be aware that they had been successful previously. Now folks have been rejected on the second go around, but it is not common. On a few occasions they may have picked up a blemish or just flat out blow the second interview.
That being said, the situation is very different then where we have been for the last several years. The hiring process has changed significantly and Continuously over the last few years. There could be significant changes when hiring resumes, it is anybodies guess.
They were stacking up screened applicants when the hiring train screeched to a halt. I understand that those is the process already will be given some preference if they are still hanging around.
