Application to interview was about 5-6 weeks.

Interview-class date, Some of our group got dates 3 months out from interview for the Q. The rest waiting on the E175 are still waiting on firm class dates but were told "anticipated" dates about 5 months out.

I am in training right now for the Q 400. Heading to Dallas tomorrow for ATP/CTP, was told we may not be able to take the written at the end because of the government shut down.

Also heard possibility of some delays at the simulators because of the government shut down.

It looks like we will be taking the written test this Friday however we may not get our results the same day. Just glad we’re going to get a chance to take the test this week.

You can expect 6 months or longer for training classes as of now. I don't think they are doing any more ERJ classes for 2019. That's for new hires not people already slotted.

A friend given a CJO was told to expect a class no sooner than May and probably “summer.” Are you saying this in fact will be 2020? Or would they have been “slotted” just not told yet?

Thanks for any input—I will pass along.

Bottom line regardless there is a huge wait time before getting a school date. It's a great company but they have long wait times even for the Q400. I might get a class 6 months from my original job offer and that's a big maybe. They still need pilots but not like a year ago.
