When did you apply? I was going to apply this March in hopes for a June or July class date. Bad move?

Apply as soon as you are eligible, then negotiate for a class date afterwards. Generally a CJO is good for six months.

I applied middle of Oct. I'm not sure I would have gotten a call as soon as I did if I didn't have an internal rec that was also pestering the recruiting department for me. You can apply before you're qualified if you'd like. It's my understanding, and others who know better feel free to correct me, that your number in the pool has some significance. Best of luck!

Those who are applying and those who are recruiters...

What’s the 2019 staffing plan? I’m concerned. PM me if you have info

Thanks, amigo. I am a bit bummed that it didn’t work out. You guys seem like a good bunch and you have a good gig with CPZ. I gave it my best shot. But it has been a good lesson about how timing is everything in this industry.

I’m excited to get training underway and looking forward to the challenges ahead. Winter in SLC? Not sure yet how this Cali boy is going to tackle that. Ha.

End of May? Man, that’s what I was afraid of, offering dates for summer months. My interview isn’t until the 18th and I know LAS, SEA, and LAX interview locations are happening before they get to PHX on the 18th. I’ve been applying since late August with an internal rec,

Now, regardless of which airline you want (obviously assuming you’re building hours one way or another). On the phone, recruitment said they were hiring about 6 per class, and who knows how many they’re going to call and have at each interview. Sounds like they’re already trending toward summer months.

The far out class date was tough to swallow but better than not having a firm date I suppose? CPZ is my first choice and would love to land here but the timing may not work out for me. I still have until late January until I hit ATP mins, hoping by that time maybe to have a slightly earlier class date. Best of luck at the interview!

OK cool, I will apply now then. Thanks!

So since classes are so far out are we allowing people to apply early when below ATP mins. Or do they still have to be fairly close to ATP prior to applying.

When I applied, interviewed, and was given a CJO (April 2018)...I was 6 months and a few hundred hours away from ATP mins.
