Maybe it's a disqualifier? Unless you have ANG/AFRES in conjunction?

I kid, I kid. Mostly.

I would think membership in that club would grant you at least an interview. Fewer guys checked out on the Sled than have flown in space as astronauts. The total number of SR71 pilots is something like 150....less than 500 people have ever flown in one in any capacity.

I'm guessing they use it to identify low TT qualified guys.

All kidding aside ^^^^

If not a fighter draft, this makes sense as it is a common trend among fighter guys.

As a fighter guy, what is your guys opinion on getting an interview with just an ATP written vice an ATP?

That's a guess. $.02? I've looked at 200+ resumes. Every single one was an ATP.

Niece got her ATP. Three day weekend course.

I can't remember, but isn't it 750 training slots that need to be filled, not necessarily "OTS hires"? I thought the other thread said between between recalls and flows the ACTUAL OTS might be as low as 250-ish?

True, yet airlineapps 9UAL/DAL) is able to cull that data without asking the question, as is FedEx and SW that ALSO use pilotcredentials.com

Flows are getting 50% of the class, capped at 30, for AE. PSA/PDT flows are 8(?). The rest go to OTS.

Returnees can come at any time and reduce the 'class' size which reduces the AE count ('smaller' class reduces 50% number).

Company's talking about 50/month and the SLI has guys guessing at 150 (+/-) returnees. So 50 - 25+8 flows = 17 OTS. If no returnees that would be about 70 OTS by mid May. Mid May to until mid August might be all returnees(150 ish). Mid August through the end of the year would be about another 70 OTS.

Fifty/month only totals 600 for the year. Company's talking about 750. AE flows would take 60 of the additional 150 slots. So the 140 OTS +90 means that OTS might be in the 240 range.

All numbers are just throwing darts, backwards, at a wall. While blindfolded...

However you slice it (no pun intended), those of us among the 12000 probably shouldn't sit around waiting for the phone to ring. Gonna be a long wait.
