Unless that "smidge" is the difference between furlough and job

Someone posted a link to a photographers website who takes all the newhire class pics at Delta, does anyone have it?

No because a CJO is just that, a conditional offer. Your hire date is the date you show up for training and that determines who you are racked and stacked against for seniority - not those who you interview with.

In any case your career timing seems pretty good to me.

Good luck and welcome aboard!

How long do they anticipate running classes that large for?

So the spreadsheet showed ~180 days from hiring to class. Is that to indoc class or sim classes? Plus, does anyone have any good intel on how long the average wait is in between indoc and sims these days?

Inquiring minds want to know....

Some are starting their sims as fast as a week an a half after indoc ends. It goes by seniority. It seems like they have been putting a lot of effort to reduce the backlog so you get to the line quickly. It's great here, they really take care of you. It's worth the long swim, hang in there!

I was a May 26th CJO and have a very low social. By reading these post I should hear something in about 3 weeks for a December 2nd class date so?

So how long do they give you to get spooled up on the systems of your specific plane? Word has it that you take a systems test on the 2nd day of your sim class/acft qual. Is a couple of days of studying enough?
