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.

Can anyone shed some light on the process after passing the interview? Going on nearly 2 weeks now and I haven't heard a peep since the phone call saying I had a successful interview. One in our group got an invite pretty quickly for an MD-11 class on July 25th, but no one else has heard anything as far as I know. How far out are they usually sending out class invites, or does it just depend on when your background check comes through?

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.
Welcome aboard.

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!
