The AON Assessment Eligible was what I got on that top tier date, I never got an email that specifically said "top tier" so I assumed that's what that email was. It was just under ~3 weeks before I got the pre-invitation.

There seems to be a lot of inconsistency in when a specific major calls. Myself and another guy were about 1800 fighter hours, basically same app. Delta called me 1 week after submit, and United called him the same. 9 months later Delta called him and United called me. No logical reason for the "swap" between us. So I wouldn't overthink it - keep updating the app to get it to cycle to the top and consider going to a recruiting event that will hopefully trigger an app review. Also I've heard (can't confirm) that adding another internal rec letter could trigger a review, depending on how many of those you currently have.

What is competitive next week may no longer be competitive in April.

Take that with a huge grain of salt but if it were me and assuming you can feel comfortably ready to answer questions about your life experiences to very welcoming interviewers by next week Id go with the earliest possible interview offered. Just something to consider. Good luck!
Unless things have changed, once you get the interview invite, "competitiveness" is no longer relevant. They want to hire you. If you score above the minimum on the interview, you will get the CJO. IOW, at that point, it's his to lose.

To the OP, class dates are offered in order of CJO date. Only you know if you are ready for the interveiw, and can balance that with any seniority 'hit'. If you have done your homework and prep already, and feel ready, I'd go with the soonest interview. If you have not, or have any doubt, go with the April date. Good Luck.

Yes, there’s certain hurry to get into class and seniority, but there’s also some kind of caution to be taken. If you rush and fail, you would kick yourself up to wait 3 months.
Did you actually read my entire post?.... "
"assuming you can feel comfortably ready to answer questions" Before you dismiss what I say as terrible terrible advice (not advise) maybe consider the possibility that OP has already been preparing for a possible interview which is why I make the suggestion that IF they are ready they should consider the earlier interview opportunity.

Agreed, Fangs said it much better than I did. Competitiveness amongst your interview class is not a consideration. I was more so alluding to again, anecdotal evidence, that candidates with almost identical qualifications to those hired in 23' are now being given the TBNT. That information alone would motivate me If I was ready to interview sooner rather than later. Obviously many possible factors as to the outcome which is why I will say again, take this advice with a huge grain of salt.

If you don't mind, what are your hours/background? Any complications or is your record clean?

...For 2 months. During the same season when we slow hiring to put SLI's out to the line for the summer rush.

Still, it's an interesting development. Almost wonder if it's doubling as part of a pressure campaign on Boeing.

I would agree.

" 'We had contractual deliveries for 80 MAX 10s this year alone, but those aircraft aren’t even certified yet and it is impossible to know when they will arrive,' ... New hire classes for United pilots are expected to resume in July, the memo showed."

And internal recs I imagine? DL pulled out of TPNx next month, a sign of the times?
