I was sent the email at the end of July. I was offered an interview date 4 weeks out, but chose to take the 6 week option to give me more time to study while flying a busy summer schedule. I used every spare minute and was glad to have the extra two weeks.

Meanwhile, they told us to expect 6 weeks in the pool, so when all is said and done it will be around 12 weeks from interview invite to indoc for me (hopefully)

Thanks for the information, how about the wait time from internal letter sent to pilot selection to invite email?

Does anybody know of any second career guys, non military, 40+ with competitive times getting an interview?

I'm getting crickets here after my fix it email in January of 2014, 2 job fairs, lots of quality volunteering, 2 different app review screenings, new type, several internal recs including several emails to the hiring board.

I just don't know what else to do.

There was at least 1, maybe 2 people that fit that category among my interview group. I wish I knew something else to tell you, hang in there!

Welcome aboard.
Thanks. Great idea. But I have a fairly low ssn. First digit is a zero. I'm assuming MD88 out of NY.

I would say that's a good assumption.

Default MD88 SIM training...Thanks!

Thanks Ray Red, Tunes, Flare, et. al. for the insights across the board.

What are the percentages for guys doing MD88 training in Henderson, NV?

All the best! Fly safe!

Quick question for the guys who just got hired. How long after your interview was the PRIA and background checks complete? Also how long did you have to wait for you email setting up your class date?

They send your PRIA paperwork out the 2nd day of your interview. They can and will give you a class date before the full background check is done.
