Default interval from interview to class date?

Hi all - I did some searching ahead of time before posting this, so I apologize if it was covered and I missed it.

I know that "apply now!" is the mantra for an exit strategy from the Regionals. The issue is that I can't leave my regional (and, honestly, don't quite want to yet) until the fall without owing them money. I signed a contract and I'll honor it.

But, it would be nice to figure out how to time an application-interview-CJO (hopefully) to coincide with meeting my obligation at the regional.

So is 30 days a decent window? Do they go 60 days?

I realize that the longer I wait the harder it gets, and that's fine - it's a journey. I'd just like to prepare best I can - JetBlue has been on my short list for quite a while, possibly as a career destination.

Thanks in advance, folks.

I would say 60 days is a safe bet from completed application to receiving a class date. B6 also allow you to skip 1 class date (in case you need more time). In the past, it use to be 6 to 8 or 10 months from applying to class date. The process seems like it got a lot more efficient.

Someone currently in the process, or recently been in the process, can chime in. However, that's my observation.

Yeah things are moving a lot quicker then they used to these days. They are placing people in class as the background/PRIA is still being run. That being said, you can extend your availability out as far a 6 months. For example, you interview on June 1, you can let them know you aren't avail until Dec 1. Anything farther out then 6 months gets complicated with PRIA and what not. I'd suggest if you wanna be here, apply and interview ASAP.
