Well, it's been fairly quiet since April interview, however I got info from my employers that PRIA requests were sent back to VX. I Got the email to take the drug test today. Now some more waiting, but things are moving!!
I chatted with HR a week and a half ago, they seemed to think that the first push will be August for fo's. there was rumor for mid July which they were preparing to fill.
Anyone have class dates? Not your friends (or a friend of a friend who got an August class), I mean YOU, has hr offered YOU a class ?
It's exciting to start to hear progress. Other people in my interview group also got that email today as well.

Right there with ya QXE! Glad to hear things are happening. Anyone else out there sitting in the pool that interviewed before the end of April hearing anything? We're pretty sure there was at least one interview date before ours. Best of luck all. Hope to see everyone up in SFO soon.

I take it you got hired? Congratulations my friend. I heard rumors that classes would be starting around the July/August time frame. Have fun with the training and I'm sure I will see you on the line, you see, I'm a reserve Captain and I usually get to fly with the new hires so I'm sure our paths will cross soon.

I was interviewed at the end of April. To give people an idea, here has been my timeline (it seems to vary between people).
Day -17 - updated application and added ATP, immediately after, I was sent the link for the assessment. Called all my recommendations and got advice.
Day -16 - took assessment, within an hour of completion, I was emailed the QUESTIONAIRE. I finished that and returned it to HR ASAP.
Day -14 - I got an email to schedule an interview. Scheduled for two weeks later. Also got an email with instructions, and a link to complete an application. This was completed that day.
Day 0 - Interview
Day 7 - people from our interview group got the "thanks but no thanks" email.
Day 12 - the rest of the group got the "we will continue moving forward with you application" email.
Day 42 - request for assessment email was sent, this was because the background process was opened up and a glitch sometimes sends that email.
Day 43 - one of the office gals at my previous employer told me they got a PRIA request.
Day 47 - employer PRIA was sent
Day 48 - employer 2 notified me PRIA was sent
Day 54 - request to take the drug test was sent, and completed paperwork emailed to HR
Now waiting for further instructions. Hopefully this gives you guys a timeline example. One thing is sure, that this process is really driven by need, and with mid July to August classes, I don't think there is much push to get things going too soon. I'm anxiously awaiting class dates, and hope to see you all there soon!
Brianb- I look forward to it! I'm excited for 4 leg trips, and the fact I can throw away my neck ties!
