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.

More encouragement for the line. I have to say CPZ seems unique in the level of interest that current pilots seem to have in the Hall of Hopefuls. Thanks for that.

I was 500 away, went to job fair though. Got offered an interview and CJO next day. I am also a vet and flying a jet though.

When my interview finished a rather large group of MX applicants was waiting outside the door.

Also, 6 months of full training classes is a pretty good backlog. It wouldn't surprise me if the recruiters were turning attention to other workgroups such as MX or FAs.

My friend was in LA just the other day to sign paperwork for his CJO and was told his class date would be in January because at the moment they have classes filled through the rest of the year. He was told that there are a lot of Rotar Transition Program guys that are finishing their fixed wing time now that have been put into the classes for the end of the year which is why the interviews have slowed down. Most of the rotor guys were interviewed months ago and assigned the October-December dates because of the time they needed to complete the training and hours.
