How long from the AirlineApp to Email?
 

Looking at the time frame from submitting the app to an email for the next step: Major and Regional. Any recent information?

Entirely dependent on both your own qualifications and the hiring needs of whoever you applied to.

How could it be otherwise?

Should have been clearer...
ie Delta: actively hiring, meet qualification minimums - have people received a response in a week, month... after hitting submit application.

Anyone with recent time frame info from hitting submit and what we’re your quals?

Thanks

Meeting Deltas minimums and actually getting called are two very different things.

you can expect an email sometime between two weeks and never.

seriously...there’s no true way to answer this question. So many variables.

Not app to email, but interview to job offer
 

First time caller, my question is about timelines with regards to new hires. I'm currently on active duty and have been doing some future planning with the family. My question is how far out will an airline offer a potential hire a job offer? (assuming minimum requirements met, interview and the application process was smooth).

For example, let's say I leave active duty in December, and am available to start January. How far back in the year would I know I have a job? I know it would be different for each airline.

Specifically, timelines for the following:

United
American
Delta
Southwest

Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

Are you hypothetically talking this winter? None of those airlines are likely to interview in 2021, possibly into 2022.

Construct your apps as early as possible. AirlineApps (United and Delta) takes a VERY long time. PilotCredentials (AA and SWA) a little less so. After you get those put together, have no less than three friends review each of them and then have them reviewed by Checked and Set. Then publish them. It doesn’t matter if it’s 8-12 months before your availability date. Publish them and update them every week or three. What you really want to know is when do you want friends to launch silver bullets.

Don’t launch them until hiring starts again, and if hiring has started, no more than 6 months before your availability date.

Good luck. If you haven’t noticed, the industry is in the ****ter. Those companies aren’t hiring in 2021. Something might start to come alive in spring ‘22.

My prediction is hiring off the street, military and civilian will not begin in earnest until 2023 or maybe a year later. Then, the hiring curve will take off again.

So far, I am amazed how well the furloughing and Regionals closures have held up.

Reviving the thread now that hiring started again. How long between "Publish" and getting a call say from United? Also, for those called, what times/credentials were you called with?
