My experience is too long ago but.... I was fighter guy with only ATP written,as did numerous friends of mine.

My kid had some active duty C-12 stink on him. When he went thru Flight Safety, seems like he paid an extra 300 $$ or so and got the multi ATP with only a few more maneuvers. So he had the type. Prolly too late for your friend but something for C-12 guys to think about (my kid was prolly 8 years ago, might not be valid now)

As always, put the app in, being military trumps a lot of stuff if the career path (fighters) doesn't lend itself to getting an ATP

JMHO

Thank you!
Some new hires got A320 in MSP as their initial equipment in the last two classes. See this thread for more info: New Hire Class Drops

Reserves get used a lot on narrowbodies, you'll get anything from 1-5 day trips, just depends on how many days you have left and what's in open time. Scheduling can and does cut up trips to fit people's schedule. On narrowbodies, because we're short, it is usually very hard to drop trips or reserve days.

Default Call

There was some confusion in my interview group in reference to short/long call. Being on reserve short call, is recall 2 hours or 6? Or some other time?

Incoming!


Short answer: "reasonable report" which is normally around 2 hours. There are many, many more "long answers".

You default to 12 hours. You can be converted to SC, no time limit but generally accepted to be about 2 hours-ish a total of 6 times a month. There is a fairly weak balancing mechanism for those as well.

Got the TBNT this morning after completing the assessment over the weekend. Super depressing blow as I, like many others on here, felt things went well on it. Practiced the cog games using RST and CUT-E, and tried to stay fairly neutral and consistent on the personality test. Maybe in 6 months things will go better if I get the invite again, but it’s still a gut punch after 3 years of updating the app monthly. This thread has been super helpful though to read others experiences. Best of luck to all.

It's amazing once you get invited to interview you look through your application with a microscope. I had to make some date changes to non-aviation jobs (about 4 of them) because I was able to call the respective HR departments and get exact dates. I was mostly close, but I wanted to make sure everything was 100% as accurate as could be walking into the interview. I did have to add some junior college courses I took over the summer as well. All said and done, there's about 7 changes that are again mostly related to dates being precise (within a few days on most). I'm hoping these aren't considered "significant" changes and it doesn't derail the interview. Truthfully, I should've been more thorough when I first submitted the application as far as ensuring my dates were as accurate as possible. Has anyone run into this before and still received a CJO? Definitely don't want my focus getting off track because of this. I've heard when you walk into the interview the first thing they do is ask if the application is up to date and all changes have been made. Thanks for any advice on this!

The first half of the panel interview will be going over your application. They will pick out a couple of things and challenges you on them. The key is to not get defensive, but rather answer honestly and matter of factly. No matter how thorough you were, they'll find something. Maybe it's better to give them some low hanging fruit. I know quite a few pilots who got turned down, and the first question I ask them is how they handled the application confrontations. Most of them say they got irritated and defensive, but didn't even realize it until later because of the stress of the situation. Watch for that.
