At least one The actual # is probably well North of 100. The majority of my interview group and one of my bud's were non-rated. Didn't seem to matter in the call/letter ratio. The type question did not come up in my interview. I don't think they care one way or the other.

I know one guy with a May 9th pool date in the Sept. 19th class. I'm May 24 and they told me I'm three classes behind him. Seems like a lot for only two weeks difference.

Remember, you can't be in the pool with out a type rating. Pool date is established either 1) Interview date if you have a type rating, or 2) The day of your type rating, assuming you fax a copy to the PD that day.

Moral of the story is to get that type rating fast. As you can see, a couple of weeks means the difference of 2-3 classes.

I understand that but if you ask the PD how many are in the pool they will tell you how many have continued on in the process. The 387 number is all the people in the pool with and without type ratings. It is how many people that have been selected to move on in the process. And I agree you are not officially assigned a place in the deep end until you get your type if you interviewed with out it. Happy swimming.
