For others that are asking and for what it’s worth:
I applied in September (2018), called the week of Thanksgiving for a phone interview, Face to face interview two weeks later and the offer that night by the time I landed back at home. I had an Internal as well.

I will start by saying, if your comment was not intended this way then I apologize.
Every company is different and has it’s unique procedures, Even if you have been flying freight for another company on the same type (if you end up on the 767). If you end up on the 747 it’s a completely different world.
I encourage you to come into this with an open mindset of “what can I learn” rather than “I already got this”.

Only 6 for this year, 6 in 2020 but from 2021 it starts with >12 a year. FWIW from 2023 picks up to almost 24 a year for a few years then slows down again!!
What I am getting at is that the small amount of (original) senior guy's are all approaching retirement then it becomes the influx of younger blood so don't expect huge leaps in seniority based on retirements, this isn't Delta Et Al.

Best answer I have for you is "sometimes". Right now, the company has a fairly high stockpile of applicants. As we all know, this can wane quickly, which would drive the recruiting types to a job fair.
Probably best to just do the online application and keep being just enough of a pest to get attention but not enough to **** somebody in HR off.
You can always try emailing the powers that be. But, the addys are not coming from me.

Hi all,
I’m in the process of applying and have a question about traveling to/from work. Is it possible to have more than one home airport? Say one owned a property in Florida and one in Washington, could you coordinate with the company on which you would be traveling to/from for the trip? And if so, could you start at one and end at the other?

What you can do though is ask for a cost analysis, and if it’s cheaper they will fly you to Washington. So if you ended on the west coast you’d have a very good chance of getting it.
