Thanks. Good advice there. We wouldn't be moving for at least another 5 years. I'm still in the Reserves in the Seattle area and don't want to commute for drill. So we'd have some time to think about.

When did you apply, when did you interview?

Applied Dec '15, interviewed June 12-13

Hope you hear something soon..

I interviewed on the 2nd, got a call for a class around the 15th...started the 5th of the following month. They were calling people about the 15th of the month for starts at the beginning of the next month, but I have heard that they are going to start doing classes twice a month, so that will probably change. I would bet you should hear something within 4 weeks of your interview, but just guessing here.

2-3 week notice prior to start seems to be the norm. I was at one point the #1 guy in the pool waiting for the call. I was pretty much the last guy called for my class. Talking about sweating it and wondering if I heard that I passed the interview wrong. If you are in the class the call will come. Everyone does not get called on the same day or even the same week in my case. Hang in there.

Patience grasshoppers.

If you got the thumbs up from the interview, you will get a class date.

I was in the hiring pool for a little over a year.

I am pretty sure you all won't have to swim in the pool that long.

During age 65, other guys were in the pool for over 3 years. I heard some were in so long, the company made them re-interview. I don't think that will happen to you either.

Count your blessings. You guys are very fortunate. Your timing is perfect. You will be on the leading edge of a long hiring cycle, and your seniority will improve faster than at any time since 1995.

We have a couple of guys with narrow body Captain upgrades after less than a year on the property.

Chill, your time will come, and very soon.

Enjoy the ride.

4 years, 2 months for me. Yes, we re-sim'd and re-interviewed but they were both simple, low threat and easy.

You passed the interview. You're essentially "in". I understand the excitement, but indeed be patient. If it were me, I'd be fishing and golfing every day until class start. [emoji41]

Welcome aboard.

Thanks everyone for the helpful replies, I'm happy to even be here, don't mind waiting a little longer, just helps to know how long the wait is.

BlackKnight is correct.

Fish and enjoy family time now.

Once ground school starts, you will be studying hard for about two months.

We know you are excited, we get it.

We know it would be nice to be able to plan.

We would have liked to be able to plan as well.

However, that is just part of the deal.

You're in. You will get a class date soon, very soon.

Get all of your family stuff taken care of now, so you can concentrate on your studies later.

Welcome aboard! We are glad you will soon be joining us!

I have flown with 4 new hires, and every one of them was outstanding!
