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.

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!

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.

For those applying, you folks hearing anything back lately? Trying to get a highly qualified friend in for even an interview but he can’t seem to get a response.

That's just CP not looking ahead and planning their hiring accordingly so we're properly staffed for the future. We're good now, so they'll wait till we're short on pilots, say "oh shoot, we're way understaffed we need to hire pilots!" Then they'll start making calls, have interviews, give CJOs, as we're short staffed and have no reserves. Then after a few months of being extremely short handed, pilots will start to hit the line, we'll get fat on FOs, then recruiting will go on vacation saying we're good on pilots... for now. Rinse, repeat.

Referred a former student and good friend of mine around that same time. Solid guy, exceeded ATM mins by a bunch, lots of King Air time. Never heard a peep even after I made several emails to recruiting. He has a class date at Horizon now.
