The hiring team will give you a phone call/email offering you an indoc class date after you have the CJO by several weeks at least, but with at least a couple weeks notice. It just depends.

During indoc, usually in the second week, you'll get your training dates. The minimum amount of time from indoc to training/sims is 1 week (to study systems), but can often run a little longer, especially when hiring surges. Not sure what the current wait time is, but 2 weeks, give or take, seems fairly typical.
Frame of reference: had friends that interviewed at the beginning of May 2018. They started indoc in January 2019. That was due to the rolling delay for onboarding as the company decided it was too fat on pilots and set itself up for “optimum” staffing for this last summer. We all know how that went.

For the foreseeable future, no one should be waiting 7-ish months from interview to indoc. YMMV.

Little bit of a tangent but still pertinent...

Those that are doing/have done the RST “Brain Games,” how accurate are the percentages for scoring? I swear I do some of the games perfectly but still receive 30-50% scores. I can’t seem to figure out their algorithms. For example, the balance beam while answering math questions. I can get 30+ points in the 45 second period but it still says I’m 40%.

I know this would be best fit for Facebook but some of us don’t have one.

Thank you for any assistance anyone can offer!

When you do the balance beam with math on the real cog your thought will be “wow, this is a joke. RST is 10,000 times harder”.

Okay awesome. I would rather be over prepared than the alternative.

Check out this video, it explains the RST COG tests.

Concur that the actual COG test was much easier than the RST trainer.

A reliable source told me to expect indoc classes starting on December 2nd and December 9th with a break for the holiday season after that. Classes to resume in January and my best guess at a start date is January 6th.

Just to throw more fuel on the fire...I was in the training house last week and an APD gave us a good rumor that they upped their 2020 hiring projection to 1500.

If that's anywhere close to true (IMO wishful thinking), they will HAVE to do more smaller AE's to have the new hire slots to give... Doubly good for the rest of us.

1600 now. 125 per month is what they want. Achievable?
