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

Got an invite to interview and just looking for information.
How long will it take to get MSP as a base for a new hire? What type of trips / lines are common for new hires, I’m assuming mostly 4 days?
Reserves in base get used frequently? How easy to drop trips/reserve days.
Thank you!

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.

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!
