Any info on:
What is the general timeline between initial testing & 2nd interview? Also from Job offer to start of training?

A guy I know recently did the 2nd interview. It was about a week or so from his initial testing, but he said he had a few option of interview dates.

Another guy I know, without heavy time, was told that it would be about 3 months for him to get a class date as they have built up a bit of folks they have hired (pool?) and haven't had any classes for a while so...sounds like it might be a while if one got lucky enough to get hired right now. Supposedly if one has MD-11 or KC-10/DC-10 time it would be quicker...I wish I could find out myself!

All hearsay so take it for what it is worth...

I realize this timeline probably varies based on aircraft training pipeline!

Any info would be great though.

Thanks

I posted that 60 new-hire number. Simple math. Last seniority number in Dec10 was 4519. Currently, 4579. Two classes in June, one this week and one on the 20th.

There aren't two classes in June from what I'm told. This isn't correct. Just one.

I guess the Basic Indoc Day 1 in a classroom on the second floor of AOTC, scheduled for 6 and 20 June, is a figment of my imagination. I'm glad we have RJ Captains around to keep us Purple folks straightened out.

Possibly going to other seats?

Yes, but there is another class that had everybody training in the back seat. That class is not on the 27 training letter anymore. It is blank until 7/18. I am pretty sure there are folks in training right now.

Seems odd.
