Thanks for sharing the info. Pilot shortage? What pilot shortage?

Thanks for the update! However it would still be nice to be able to interview “early”. Would be just as nice to get a simple response from someone

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?
I am R-Atp -- submitted 3 weeks ago and not a response.

Just finished an interview with TSA. Flew to St. Louis. (I know, this is a Compass forum and Compass is still my first choice!) I came with an open mind. They made a good pitch and the interview was VERY comfortable. I’ve been working hard to finish my qualifications and it’s really exciting to get my first job offer since deciding to make the career change. Enjoying a beer in the airport bar (albeit a masked Budweiser made to taste like IPA).
