1 week for me. After I provided additional information I was invited to interview. So about a month from applying to interview date. I could have chosen a date that was a week sooner but it didn't work for my schedule.

JFK base for new hire
Hi all, I’ve been doing a lot of reading on here and I am seeking current / up to date info on the JFK base for a new hire. I have an interview coming up and I would really appreciate it if any of y’all in the know can assist with my questions !
1. From my (limited) understanding, up until the announcement of the MCO 190 base closure, the 190 was the way to go in JFK due to more movement, lots of premium flying, etc. but now it seems that a lot of that premium 190 flying has dried up. Would y’all recommend bidding the 190 in jfk still?
2. anyone have current reserve times for the 320 and 190 in jfk? I think I read the 320 we should expect 18 months or so. I understand what’s accurate today may not be accurate tomorrow.
3. Are mostly day trips and 2 days attainable for a junior line holder in jfk? Either 320 or 190? How are the trips these days in terms of efficiency, duty day, long sits, etc? I know I’m asking a lot here but any general info would be greatly appreciated.
4. Can new hires expect to fly a lot on reserve? At my current airline I fly a lot, blocking 90 hours per month easy, and I’m wondering if I’ll be stuck at home most days on reserve at JB.
5. is the apc profile info regarding minimum guarantee accurate? 70 hrs/mo for lineholders, 75/mo for reserve?
thanks all!

When will I become competitive?
9E FO with 1900 TT. 310 121 SIC and 1000 turbine time.
JB is my number one choice by far as I live in BOS and just genuinely like the company. I’ve been wanting to work here since I was a kid.
I applied back in April and have been continuously updating my app since then. I have two internal recs and three externals. I haven’t heard anything at all. Wondering if this is normal? Am I competitive? Or is not hearing anything akin to a TBNT?
