I completed the AON assessment Jan 29 and on Jan 30 received the invite to schedule an in-person interview. I used https://airlineassessmentprep.com to prepare this time—did the AON last year with no prep and blew it. Happy to be heading to ATL in March!

Hopefully you've received a link or two by now! Keep us posted.

Hey there, how did you choose which exercises to practice on the CUT-E? All of them on that prep website? I know there was a list of which ones hiding somewhere around here.

Thanks. Is there a timeline on completing the AON once it’s received?

The invite will have an expiration date. It is seven days from when email invitation is received.

Go back to post 3325. I posted the list there a few days ago

Received the email notification on Jan 21, still waiting on the assessment.

I received the new "pending assessment invite" email a few weeks ago. However, the availability date I put is pending a 6-month Palace Chase from active duty. I honestly wasn't expecting an assessment invite so soon, so my Palace Chase paperwork hasn't been approved for that date yet. That being said... I've never seen a PC application be denied for my airframe in recent history....

Is this easy enough to explain during the interview (if it's still pending), or should I message them beforehand to try and clarify it/change it? I don't know if 6 months of availability change is a big deal to them.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

From what I saw, they are very flexible. Just be up front when you get there. They gave me an indoc 5 months before my availability date and allowed me to pretty much hand select my indoc date after my availability date. I think you’ll be fine. I just read that some dude got a CJO with a Mar ‘24 availability….they appear to be locking down as much talent as possible.

For guys that have to push the class back, is there a way to see what your potential seniority would be if you were to take one class over another? I think widgetseniority has something but anyone else know of any other ways to check future seniority?

There's no exact way to predict since you'd need to know the sizes of each class between the one you were offered and the one you actually took, and the ages of every pilot in that class. Hypothetically what if you defer a class, and that class you skipped had every person older than you? Your ending seniority number wouldn't change. It would be 50 worse if a class of 50 were all younger than you.

Honestly your final number isn't that important in the grand scheme of a career when you're talking about skipping a class or few. What it will affect more immediately is how quickly you get more people behind you, as that will more directly impact your seniority progression off the bottom of the list. That will give you better schedules faster + some furlough protection if that ever becomes an issue.

I think DL is the only one left with a hard 1000 turbine requirement. Any news of that changing?

We don't use DOB for seniority. We use last 4 of SSN, highest picks first.
