I interviewed on 1/2 Aug and while I haven't received the official email with class date yet, we were told to expect 11 Sept.

So it seems as though it is just over a month right now from CJO to class date. Just out of curiosity if you had a schedule conflict that you had to attend around when you were to start class or during class how would they handle that? Thanks

Adjust your date of availability on the app.

You can bypass class if you need to.

You will initial the date of availability on your application during the HR interview.

My understanding is that if you cannot accept the first class offered for a legit reason (and it popped up after the interview) they may work with you...

I have heard of folks fudging the date of availability to get an earlier interview date...and then not being able to accept the class offered...

Not good

Define not good. I have heard of people doing that and they just let them go to a later class; haven't heard anything recently, but I do have some friends waiting for the call. Very curious exactly what "not good" is.

I had something similar happen between my CJO and class offer. When I asked about postponing I was told they could push my class date back a week but after that he "can't guarantee anything". Luckily my schedule conflict wasn't anything terribly important. After mulling it over for an hour or two I called back and accepted the earlier class. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise as my class drop had the ideal mix of bases and aircraft for my situation and delaying would have cost me 60+ seniority numbers. I guess it comes down to what is that worth to you?

I wouldn't worry too much about it. They definitely give you ample warning and opportunity to plan around major life events and are generally understanding if something unexpected pops up. Just be advised: right or wrong, a weekend drinking at the lake with friends is not considered an "unexpected circumstance" or "major life event".

For all the recent new hires.....

- what's the range of quals that are getting calls for the interview?
- does military time jump you to the top of the stack?
- what's the timeframe from interview email/call - CJO and class date?

My app is live and updated. 8600+ hrs, non military, 4 types, 121, 135 and 91 time.
Thanks y'all.

Ok, sorry to sound bleak...maybe just not as good as being able to accept a class date that you put on paper (and initialed) you would be available for...

I did hear about someone asking to delay a class or two to be in a wedding that was known before the interview (but not reflected on the date of availability)...I guess there was tap dancing to follow... my understanding is that unless they are front loading before the holidays, interview dates seems to be tied to a specific class start date timeframe.
