Well, glad to hear they're actively recruiting. There is an interview pool. If they like what you have to say, they'll send you an email offering an interview but most likely it'll also say they don't have any dates planned at the moment but will contact you when they set one up.

I've been in the pool since 05/2013. Still keeping my fingers crossed (double checked in november and I'm still in the pool)

Good luck!

I had no idea pilots have been in the pool that long. I hope you get a class date soon!

Do you mean a pool to be interviewed from? Or do you mean that you have already been hired, and are waiting on a class date? Either way, right on.

I'm in a pool waiting to interview, have not been hired yet. There was a pool of people that had interviewed with no class date yet but I don't know if they exhausted that or not.

Wow! You have been waiting to interview since May? That has to be close to a record for the 121 world to wait over 6 months and counting just to interview.

When I interviewed last year it was maybe 1.5 weeks at best from time of notification to interview. I believe they had 12 of us in and only 2 got hired. Is that ratio still the norm?

Vx system seems broken if they still cant have a higher interview to hire ratio. Seems they cannot vet adequately with all of their steps in the precursor/questionnaire process.

I interviewed last April and they hired 4 of 7. At least for the interview dates around ours, the numbers were up and down slightly.
