Hi guys/gals.
I applied on 7/10 through the direct-hire program (Air Carrier Operations Safety Inspector) and recently received an e-mail asking me for a breakdown of my total flight time as well as my desired locations.
Does anybody have insight as to what this means, if anything, about my application and the hiring process, and the average time-frame from application to interview?
I have browsed past posts and see that there is apparently a hiring freeze. I wonder if they are possibly hiring into a pool to draw from once FY2021 begins.
Thanks for any and all input.

P.S. The process was local manager interview/correspondence, then National 10 question HR-type phone interview, TOFL (Drug Test, Finger Prints, Back ground check, Flight check or 121/135 PC/CQ equivalent).

I was to be employed in April, just had the sim check and oral scheduled to take. Mid-March I was told to hang tight, because they didn`t feel they could safely put 4 people in the Sim with Covid still rampant. Received a call in June asking if I had had a 135/121/61.55 Sim check in the last year and they would forego their sim check. I hadn`t, so the word was just hang in there. At least I know all my background checks were passed. I think Covid cases will have to be extremely low before I am called.

I was personally told that they were drowning in work....so hopefully the NEED survives the sequestration and budget cuts....GL all..
Check your PM - I have a couple more questions for you, if you don't mind.

I’d email or call. I never did, but do plan to at some point If offered the position. I spoke with the ALPA legal and they were helpful in looking for possible “loopholes” but they clearly stated that you SHOULD disclose to avoid getting in trouble. An ASI made the argument that a GAO could even be at risk of a conflict because that the FAA uses the cockpit jumpseat Of air carriers to get their inspectors around. Jumpseating qualifies as an enroute check and there could be the conflict. Actual ASIs, feel free to chime in.
In any case, concealing would be bad for many reasons, least of which is if you go and make an enforcement against someone, they recognize you and blackmail you. Best would be to click the link and reach out to them.
