I haven’t even gotten an email saying that yet

The way I read that is that you're not disqualified from further consideration but that since you can't start class anytime in the next six months (through no fault of your own, since they are full) they can't extend an offer. I heard once that an airline only gets so much time with a new hire from the FAA for the new hire to get through training. Maybe that clock starts running from the time an offer would be extended? (Which is the reason for the six-month window for accepting a class date?)

Anyway, I think the email doesn't rule out further discussions and just means "stand by." I'm sure you'll hear back. Definitely let us know when they reach out again.

It's interesting because I am under the impression that other airlines in the holding company (GoJet and Trans States) are trying very hard to find pilots to fill upcoming class dates. I wonder if there's a queue so if I want a class date for 7 months out, I should get an application in now even it looks like my total time is waaay short.

Still have a strong preference for Compass. But I accepted an interview with TSA for next week. After reading "must only be able to fog a mirror" comments for so long as I sprinted to complete my requirements, it was nice to have the phone ring after hitting the mark. I am going to interview with an open mind.

Only because I sent an email to confirm that my app made it past the filter since I finished my comm/amel check ride and resubmitted.

On a different note,

How many people here were R-ATP qualified applicants?

How many hours away from meeting minimums were you at when you applied and/or got a phone call?

How long was the wait from submitting the app to getting a phone call?

This recruiting team makes me so mad. Why dont they respond to our applicants. Why are they letting our prospectives go to other airlines? Our standards aren’t any different in today’s market! Our competition calls applicants back within days, and we can’t even reply to emails within the same month.

Take this with a salt packet or two, since I interviewed in March. But I am not R-ATP, and had in the ballpark of 850-900TT. I applied and was contacted for an interview within a day, flown up the Minne within a few weeks.

What I did had going for me (I think) was I work at a scheduled 135 operator and have been flying 110-120 hours a month since February.

I was given a tentative class date in October but ended up taking a class in mid November.

Honestly I’d prefer no reply over a TBNT. I have to maintain hope that the training log jam will be cleared within a couple of months and interviews will pick up again.
Thanks to encouragement from a mentor and reading posts in this forum, I’m already convinced it will be worth the wait in the long run.
I suspect there is a big group waiting in the wings.

I also hope that’s how it goes. A February or March class date would be ideal for me although it sounds here as if all class dates are taken and there is already a pool of applicants who would get called first (since I haven’t yet applied to CPZ).

I do have an interview scheduled elsewhere next month though.

I think you should still apply. Our last employee call only mentioned the hiring forecast to December and didn't mention much after that. Also there was not necessarily a mention of a pool, so not sure if we've actually reached that level yet. I'm sure come 2019 we'll again need everyone we can get so if we are on top of your list there's nothing wrong with applying and see what happens.
