It will not happen until if/when the CA/FO imbalance is much less drastic. FO hiring is being scaled back in order to accommodate the training of upgrading and DE CAs. It doesn’t make sense to have 15 FOs in a new hire class when there won’t be anyone to fly with them. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I wouldn’t anticipate having that class date moved up any further.

Hiring Timeline
 

What ia the hiring timeline / class dates?

I was one of the first ones to get my YX date canceled so I applied in early October, got a phone screen in mid October, got an interview invite around Halloween, and their earliest interview date was just after New Year's. When I asked how far out class dates were in the phone screen, they said June (8 months after). If that holds, I would guess I'd hear back in mid January for a class date in September, so literally 11 months

Have a question about training
 

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on the quality of training. What are you thoughts concerning the instructors and the quality of instruction, especially in the sims? What are the class sizes? Do they pair first officers with captain upgrades? How did you feel about the study materials, ie systems, indoc, flows, profiles, etc? Considering Endeavor.....thanks!

Training is great. We have some really good instructors. Couple the company's desperation for pilots and the instructors desire to see you succeed, you really have to work to fail.

I’m going to be ready to start last half of next year due to some bonuses in my current job and my daughter starting new school. I talked to a recruiter about my situation and they said that could work out well for both of us. I already have my ATP and a degree, so curious to see when I might get an interview. I applied last week.

I don’t need to work hard to fail , it comes naturally 🤣🤣

Question for everyone: I have a June class date, and have let them know I am available earlier (as I'm sure everyone is doing).

I know nobody has a crystal ball, but I'm sort of panicked that a lot can happen in the next 6.5 months, and am wondering if I should take other 121 interviews (doubt I'd get an earlier date and EDV is my 100% preference), or a local 135 job with King Airs (do that for 6 months and bail, would that look bad to future employers)?

Basically slightly panicked I have 6 months to worry about it, or just continue teaching and see what happens? (1600hr CFI).

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Don’t hesitate to continue to seek opportunities or take an offer that’s good for you. Things can change very quickly in this industry (especially now) and options can’t hurt. If you have another (better) CJO in hand you can weigh your options but until then keep them apps out!

Thank you! I realize I'm supposed to wait for the official docs, but if anyone currently flies for EDV and wouldn't mind letting me know if these look generally correct (found in the interwebs), I'd like to at least start generally studying for the CRJ: https://quizlet.com/608580434/crj-70...r-flash-cards/
