The fundamental question being if I interviewed in fall, is there an OTS queue for June, July, Aug, Sept, that they have to get through?
If so, it sounds like 6 more months of waiting if I was an Oct interview.

They kept interviewing through the summer, at least until July/August.

I interviewed in early August and I know some that interviewed in July.

they were interviewing (very small groups) continuously. I have several threads who interviewed in July, August, and October of 24. However the interviews were very small, like 3 people each one.

data point for this thread. They’re assigning the 5/5 class and are onto OTS hires with no previous orientation who interviewed the last week of May 2024. No idea how many people in the pool.

April 2024 OTS interview here. Received the call today confirming 5/5 class.

Things were slowing down by the time I interviewed last year, only 2 of us from 12 recieved a pre employment offer; 3 weeks later was told to organize my own ATP-CTP alongside other OTS hires in the pool.

Upon completion of ATP, I sent the certificate over to class prep and radio silence for 9 months.

I interviewed in late July but I was the only FO candidate that day. So while interviews continued last year, I think they were very much pared down. I'd expect things to catch up more quickly.

Wow, things are really moving slow judging by the others' experiences and response times.

I am type rated on the ERJ170/190 (from a foreign carrier), hold an unrestricted ATP license, 2800 TT, 1400 on the ERJ, 2280 Turbine.

No call (yet).

This is a humbling experience for sure.

It sounds like they’re looking for 1500hr CFIs but that could just be a rumor. Just curious why you aren’t applying for majors with 1400 erj & 2000+ turbine time?

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your experience.

The majors have filled classes for most of the year already. It’s slowed down tremendously.

The daisy chain effect is amazing. Regionals were revolving doors when LCCs were hiring. LCC hiring is basically 0 now, ACMI is very small, FedEx is 0. With the pool this large the Big 3 are almost all military or flows so regionals can afford to be 90% cadets.
