I was hoping someone could help with a few questions.

How big have the classes been this fall?
Any word on the size of the upcoming November and December classes?
Have any class dates been established beyond the 4 December class?

Previous posts mentioned larger classes in the spring but class size shrunk over the summer. I was hoping class size has increased again. It's awesome that September interviews are already getting calls for class but they're interviewing 80-90 people per month this fall - the pool may be empty but it's gonna fill up quick again at that interview pace.

They have been getting larger as we get later into the year. 20-30 ish.

30ish for Nov,Dec classes.

None past Dec 4th but they will be every two weeks. Jan 7th starting the new year?

Yes the pool is filling up quickly. Last 3 interview dates were Oct 28th, Nov 6th and will be Nov 13th.

I then called the only JB # I had (the # that called me to set up my interview) and left a message, that as of now hasn't been returned.

I am just trying to find out if I slipped through the cracks or if I was put into some sort of a que?

Not sure if it's warrented, but I'm starting to get concerned!
Why don't you send an email to the adress that sent you the P2 email?

I always heard its your interview to lose but I have heard more and more "known good guys" getting the thanks no thanks. Some really surprised me I thought they would be a great fit, any word of them being more picky. I interviewed a while ago the wait to phase 2 Is a killer!

Is Dec 4th definitely the last class of 2014? They won't start one Dec 18th?

Go get your college/highschool and Pria work yourself. Oh driving records also.
When sterling says they are waiting for something, B.O.O.M! Got it right here let me email it to you.

I mailed my own Pria work and training records in myself, my old airline was less than cooperative.
Good advice!

I finally got the email with the link yesterday and sent all of the documents in. Didn't get an explanation on why I never received it, but guess that's all in the past and just hope it didn't cost me an earlier class date!

I think they have a tough job, and they are good at it. At this point if you are fortunate enough to get an interview you have already proved your a great person to someone down the line. My guess is they are looking to interview 300 every app window (twice a year) and select the top 200 for 400 total per year. At some point I think it comes down to who looks better on paper.

That is good news, and a huge relief I'm sure. It smells like an oversight after you were selected for phase 2.

Anyway, good luck in phase 2 and with the training date.

Notes from yesterday's interview;
70-80% of the interviewees normally pass phase 1.
They are looking to hire 300 in 2015 (but that number could move either direction).
You will get asked "why JB?" a lot.
Overall it was a great experience. It seems to be a great/fun loving culture.
