Default Trying to get an interview

I applied back in March and it's been radio silence.. No failures/red flags, have a degree, and Part 135 and Part 121 time. Applied to the "widebody" application. Any idea how to try to get a response or a potential interview? Looks like I can't update my application, just withdraw.

Internal rec with slight pressure or Job Fair. There's no rhyme or reason the way they go about doing this. They are swamped, people fall thru the cracks all the time. I still think they assign a number to peoples resumes and do the big lotto ball every few days.

Things might also be busy right now as they have an interview going on in a couple days. So might not be looking at the next batch until after that.

For those who interviewed what’s been the turn around time from interview to CJO/TBNT?

I’m a regional FO, just shy of 1,000 121 hours, who came from the cfi ranks. It seems from my reading that a lot of the other applicants are much more qualified than I am. If, and i know it’s a big if, granted a class date, do you think my low time will be a detriment to making it through training? I read training is not AQP, so how is the training? Lots of wash outs or will folks work with trainees. thanks for all of your information.
A type rating is a type rating. If you have only done one you will be surprised how similar a 747 is to a CRJ and how they all aren’t that hard if you just put in the time in the books. Best of luck!

Is there any timeline or schedule for Amazon new flying announcements? I'm thinking mostly about the remaining 737s.

We hear rumors but nothing concrete. Previous rumors have been less than 50% accurate. Seems things are changing fast for Amazon as different carriers struggled to staff the flying they had. Now things have changed I'd anticipate some news, but I have no idea whether it is good or bad.

My guess would be there is no news on how many more jets Amazon wants and where they want to place them until their sort facility is done, or at least when the ramp is done. That’s just my shot in the dark though. Seems they’ve taken their share of the DHL sort facility in CVG about as far as it can go.
