I think that us may 3rd people will be starting in August as a best case scenario. I would love to start sooner but that seems to be how the math adds up.

I would guess September - using arcane math in a borderline divine and mystical way from knowledge that has been kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar under Funk and Wagnall's porch since noon today. (and by extrapolating 1st Feb. 10th interviewee to June 15 class then May 3rd interview to Sept. 7th class - assuming no more breaks and the same number of people hired from the Feb. 9th interviews)

I am a May 3rd dude as well. I am interested in the math. Could you break it down?

All kidding aside, I would bet September as well. All the dudes from the February interview waited roughly 11 1/2 weeks to get notified that they made it through Phase II, and the time frame that I was interviewed for (1:30), my guess is roughly late September, early October for me...at least!

I was assuming 16-20 people per month in my math. I figured the last class in august with those numbers. I interviewed at 0230 so I am best case scenario October sometime.

Not called for class date. 10 Feb 0930 for reference, hopefully the end of June or a short notice 15 June call.

Math wise... I was figuring both the 3 months it took them to get back to the Feb 10th group about passing Phase II along with the class numbers above, factoring in somewhere between 12-16 hew hires per month. (it was reported in the threads that along with new hires in class, there were requals, mil leave people, etc.) They interviewed approx. 115 people over the two days (Feb. 09/Feb. 10) - with a '#2 Mayonnaise Jar/WAG' 65-70% pass rate of candidates to Phase 2 - that would give you a pool from 75 to 80 pilots (or so) for both the Feb 9th and Feb. 10th interviews.

So... looking at mid February and forward - There were a few classes where they were draining the pool from candidates from the pre-Feb. interviews in Feb. and March. Then they started calling Feb. 9th people for class. Then, for this last round of calls - for the 15th June class and the previous class, (May 25th) they called the first candidates from Feb 10th. (and as far as I can figure, they are at the 09:30am slot on Feb 10th... the 'other site' reported one 09:30 candidate getting the call for the June 15th class)

So, again... 'WAG' I think that there are 36 people left in the pool from Feb 10th. Call it roughly 16 people per month... 16 in July, 16 in August, and the last few in Sept. - hopefully there are no more breaks, but let's throw one or two in for good measure... then the first of the May 3rd group will be going to class in mid-late Sept. and beyond. (and should fill all of the classes through and up to the holiday season)

It's also been reported (again, the other site) that there is a shortage of BOS based 190 FO's - about 50 or so - and that is what the training dept. is going to be focused on along with a smattering of Airbus people.

Anyhoo... the best thing to do really, is go back and read all 50 plus pages so far of this thread and you get a idea of the class date timing, where everyone interviewed, and how fast everything is going. Plus, what else is there to do while waiting for the phone call.


Me too... on "FI" one fellow who interviewed at the same time as us, 09:30/10Feb was called for the June 15th. We should be up next, or the one after that!!!! (Everytime my phone rings I'm hoping it's THE CALL...)

Not saying that it works every time... But a phone call to J a day or two before a class starts may get you in sooner. Most guys don't miss class, but sometimes things happen. You could get lucky.

Ditto this....the window hasn't re-opened since early December has it?

You obviously got a better grade in math then I did, thanks for the update. Like I said I probably won't be there until October sometime anyway. The waiting sucks but it is worth it for the end result.
Since it looks like they will bring on 20 in June I was using that number for the summer months. A good friend of my who is 8 years senior at JB said they try and train more FO's in the summer months. I used 20 and came up with the end of Aug for May 3rd interview guys. Maybe it is just wishfull thinking. Another friend of mine who started last summer interviewed in June and started in late August last year, he also was told that they tend to train initial FO's heavier in the summer then the rest of the year. He was three weeks into training before he got the email saying he made it through phase 2. Of course this is just the opinion of two individuals and nothing official.
