OE buy-off notification question:
My trip has the indications of being pulled for OE. I saw a couple posts about the notification from about a year ago and was wondering if there's been any recent consistency as to when the company officially notifies you?
I know "The removal may occur at any time prior to or after the pilot has reported for the rotation, at the Company’s discretion." (Sched handbook p.67)
Just wondering about others' experience with this.

You will get a call at 7pm day prior

That just means the backdoor is closed. FWIW, the time frame between the back door opening and the front door opening is probably less than an hour. It's getting to the point that it's not the effort anymore.

The only time I've heard them do something different was during IROPs. Then they might make you show up before they release you.

You're using the wrong tequila. :D

Could somebody who recently completed an interview with Delta please tell me how long you expect to wait for training? I have a United and Delta interview coming up and am trying to decide if one would be better for me. Thank you.

The timeline is rapidly changing. I was hired last May and started indoc 4 Jan of this year. There are guys hired in Oct last year in indoc this month. Delta is trying to drain the pool. Before the backlog happened last year the wait was about 2 months. I think that is what they are trying to get back to.

Especially if you commute from what I hear.
