it was 21 months for me with nothing but radio silence and rumors. I had to pickup my life established on the west coast and move because you can’t just stare at the wall assume they’re gonna call right?

Best estimate on MAX 10 certification is Q3 2026. If there are no major setbacks. If this timeline holds there is no way we can get 25 MAX 10 delivered to the line in 2027.
Any setback to the timeline will mean even less MAX 10 deliveries. MAX 10 certification timeline will drive hiring for 2027. Anyone with a CJO should be paying close attention to the MAX 10 program.

Yeah, seems like a waste to interview you just to put you on hold. But I know it is because they want to call you and get you in class the second they want to, so in their eyes, it is speeding the process up for them, but in reality, it is putting you in limbo. Obviously, anything could happen in this business, but at least having a CJO in hand shows that you have a job when hiring starts back up.

no kidding… waiting months used to be the norm for just a regional job. Nowadays the youngins expect to interview and get a job offer from mainline the same day and be in class within 2 weeks… then complain about not upgrading by year two.

Almost as bad as guys who have been here for 8+ years, taking the first upgrade and being shocked that they can't hold 100% princess trips.
