Class Dates
 

Hello,

Does anyone have an insight as to where class dates currently stand for new hires? Interviewing in November.

Thank you!

I think It really depends on whether you are interviewing as a FO, RTP Candidate, or other type of “Cadet”.

For the RTP individual (this is anecdotal only), I know of guys who interviewed March of 23 and are getting quoted start dates for early 2024 (Jan/ Feb).

FO hires are significantly less is my understanding.

Interviewed Aug 24th and was told I was in the pool for Dec 19th. Direct hire FO.

Spoke to soon. 2 of the 3 of us that got hired in my group just got emails that we were getting pushed from Dec to Jan.

Interviewed and offered a job on 11/2. Sounds like I can expect well after the new year?

Can anyone else chime in with how long it took to get a class date?

We had a cadet call earlier this week and they said dates are about 6 months out. Seniority is determined by sign on date first, but you need to have all the requirements to get a date. On average 10-12 cadets a class, and 700 are in the program at various stages. I found it interesting that only 140 people attended the first information call, and expected the number to be much higher. Once a flight instructor punches out 1500, not sure how many are actually waiting 6-8 months for a class, so unclear on the actual numbers.

I"m not in a rush, so will continue to collect my thousand every month and pick up some contract work.

I probably should’ve clarified. I’m off the street FO hire, not cadet. Is that 6 month time frame accurate for all new hires or just cadets?

Just cadets.

not necessarily true. I interviewed and CJO’d in September - class date not expected per email until Jan-Feb

I was offered a position in August and "in the pool" for January.
